Merry Giftmas, since the holiday has boiled down to technology and crap.

| I hear asshurt conservitards (not all christians, mind you) complain when a 'PC' word is used to include others. Though I don't believe in being PC just for the sake of being PC, It's stupid to get mad at others being 'PC'. |

I've been hearing all month long about people taking off with baby Jesus from nativity scenes, complaining to neighbors about nativity scenes, atheist billboards that don't do anyone any good, and a bunch of other things I don't even.

Most atheists I know don't even care about it being named Christmas, and respect that it's a christian tradition foremost. Some do get asshurt about it sadly, and others get asshurt whenever people change the name to accompany the asshurt. |

no, im not uber-christians have basically ended the use of the term "x-mas" because their backwards persecution complex makes them think that its trying to remove the 'christ' in christmas
no, its just shorter
theres also the christians protesting people at stores who are saying 'happy holidays' rather than 'merry christmas'
"how DARE they greet people other than christians!!"
and YES i realize this isnt happening everywhere but i live in a southern baptist city full of lunatics |

As a Conservative myself, I can agree that using PC terms is not bad unless people are trying to force you to use them. In that case it's the person who is at fault and they deserve to be disliked and hear non-PC remarks. It's freedom of speech.

| Baptists and other extreme fundamentalists take it further than most other denominations. Not even most catholics get offended at 'happy holidays' (primary source). |

Yeah I guess I agree with that...
"theres also the christians protesting people at stores who are saying 'happy holidays' rather than 'merry christmas'"
Well you gotta admit it's kinda stupid.
""how DARE they greet people other than christians!!""
Why can't people just accept that the season is called "Christmas"??? Good Lord.
"and YES i realize this isnt happening everywhere but i live in a southern baptist city full of lunatics"
Sorry about that...

the nativity scenes that people are trying to take down are on government property the government, as stated by the first amendment, must 'recognize no religion', meaning thet a christian-specific nativity scene cannot be put on a neutual government land
as an atheist, i can say we have 100% no problem if you want to put your nativity scenes on your OWN LAND, but when the seperation of church and state is broken, expect resistance.
atheist billboards are to raise awareness, not to persecute. atheists are a less than 5% minority in the U.S. and are severely persecuted, so somebody in the closet about it might need to know they arent alone. |

Atheists are a minority and yet just about everyone around me is claiming to be some form of free-thinker? And I don't know why you need to "raise awareness" honestly. Why do you need to? Are you guys really so naive to believe that people can't make their own choices? lol

the 'season' is winter, and Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and dozens of other religious and secular holidays are all celebrated on or near december 25th, so saying 'merry christmas' to somebody who is muslim or jewish really doesnt apply to them because not everybody celebrates the christian holiday of christmas. |

this generation is overwhelmingly more progressive, but persecution still exists. go to ANY southern baptist church and there will be people who honestly believe atheists are all kinds of evil i.e. satanists & murderers (yes, they actually say that and do equate atheism with murder) |

Maybe so but I doubt anyone gives a crap.
And just for the record I understand that atheists get persecuted, but the billboards to more to deliberately offend than to advocate for nonbelievers. If I saw one that said "You don't have to believe in God" I'd be perfectly fine with it.
