ROBLOX changes it's site theme for American and Christian festivities but not Islamic or Jewish holidays.
There's Christmas hats, gear and St Patrick's day items too.
But we never see anything for Ramadan, Eid or any Jewish holidays. I think they did a Hanukkah gear once but that's about it.
ROBLOX needs to be more multi-cultural or at least tone down with the Christian holidays. - Tahya Falasteeni intifāḍa! |

| Hmm.. How about we remove all religion? Religion isn't for the internet, It's for the senseless real world. |

That's what I'm saying.
ROBLOX should either accommodate for other people or not have religious holidays at all.

Christmas isn't christians only, most people celebrate it even if it isn't their religion.

Christmas and St. Patricks day are Christian holidays. Granted Christmas has pagan origins it's still a Christian holiday.
It's called CHRISTmas for heavens sake.

So? The owners of roblox are christian, even if it was a political move it makes sense. |

I thought they were Jewish.
And ROBLOX has a mulit-cultural staff.

I'm sorry, but what's Eid? I know Ramadan is the Muslim month of fasting I know Hannukah is Jewish And Yom Kippur... What is Yom Kippur?

@Wowgnomes the rest of the world stole Christmas from Christians and made it all about gifts and Santa Claus and elves and all that rubbish. @Stalh, they don't make many christian things really, but they do their own American holidays BASED OFF of Christian holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, etc). If Americans were to base a holiday off of Eid, Ramadan, Hanukkah or Yom Kippur then they'd mess them up ENTIRELY and take the holiday's main idea away, then they'd create amazingly stupid decorations for it and eventually, yes, it would become a ROBLOX theme. I do not mean any disrespect for Americans, but people without holidays tend to copy holidays from religions and change them up.
Sincerely, the grammar police |

This has turned into a flame war.
Anyways, to the suggestion-
I suggest roblox just drop religion all together. Out of all the flamewars I see, it's mostly about religion. |

There is nothing wrong about expressing your religious beliefs on Roblox

Sorry for the bump but...
@Mikey
Eid is a Muslim day where people can fast and give each other gifts. Sort of like X-mas.
Yom Kippur is the Jewish Ramadan where they fast for a day I think.

| Christmas wasn't originally a Christian holiday. It started out as pagan holiday for the Romans to drink upon. Later the Christians adapted it to convert non-Christian Romans. |

Many Non-Christians celebrate Christmas just because they get free stuff.
Christmas itself is primarily used due to the belief in "God" and not "Allah" or some other being/thought process because; at the moment, Christianity/Catholicism is the largest religion set. Last I checked.
(Any christian or catholic who doesn't want to be compared/labeled under the same thing; too bad. You are the same thing with beliefs that vary as slightly as the taste of one cherry jolly rancher to the next.)
^True story set.

@Jacob
Islam is the second largest and fastest growing religion in the modern world.
Judaism is the third major religion, though not the largest.
Because something is bigger does that mean we should discard other religions?
Also
"Christmas itself is primarily used due to the belief in "God" and not "Allah""
All three Abrahamic religions worship the same god.

<---- Evolutionist branch of Atheism. Next to no desire to learn any religion what so ever, other than minor interest in Buddhism and Taoism. Also; I was not saying that we should discard the other religions, I'm simply saying why I think it tends to be used.

Jacob, you're so stupid. You need to learn to improve, evolution is a scientific theory not a religion. What are you talking about? |

Evolutionism is considered a belief. It is the belief in Evolution. Atheism is regarding to a belief that lacks a deity. Therefor; I posted that correctly.

Evolution isn't a belief, it's a scientific fact. That's like saying I'm a gravitism, a belief in gravity. Therefor you're an idiot for using the semicolon incorrectly. |

Guys, please stop arguing. Thank you.
As for this idea, Roblox is an American company, so we celebrate our holidays the most, because we don't know about the others.....
But it would be wonderful if we had other holiday hats... |

3:25AM(Was somewhere around 2:50 or so earlier. Still late). I couldn't really care less about grammar, punctuation, spelling, definitions, or any of those other aspects of speech and typing right now.
Unfortunately, I'm also too busy with other stuff to go to sleep right now. However, as foruming is delaying my work, and I am constantly getting up to change something... I'm logging off for the night to work on this project of mine undeterred. G'night.
