...what all you cackling ninnies should be really incensed about is how christmas now starts in october in north america and how it's forced down our throats as a marketable product by corporate 'america'.
i have no religious ties but i really like xmas, and what it represents. i don't like to be bombarded by 'xmas'... before halloween.
nowadays, by the time xmas time rolls around it's like a bad hangover.
the end.
- this is my war on xmas... i'm talking to you starbuck's... going full xmas in late oct you sonna va b*tchprophetone

These passive aggressive religious fanatics need to finally shed themselves of their ignorant beliefs. Just because they've shielded themselves by acts of kindness and faith, doesn't make what they do derogatory when they hold a cross up in your face. Think of all the Jews they offend, when they put up a cross. Christianity condemns the Jews as Nazis themselves. But at the same time, any Judaist religion just propagates a story concocted by a Jew. You either have to believe in science or religion. fact or myth. I'm all up for starting a new beginning with these new traditions!

So with you on this one. Santa didn't die on a cross so that we could all say "Happy Holidays" to one another. WTF?!

"Christmas starts in October..."
Not in Canada. We take Remembrance Day very seriously and there's a shitstorm whenever a retailer tries to switch into Xmas mode before Nov 11.

So tired of this whole 'war on Christmas' bullshit. Does it really surprise you that towns are restricting the public display of religious icons of Christmas? Populations are more culturally diverse than ever which is actually an amazing thing for all of us. But instead of embracing this difference and evolution of our society we've got the 'DON'T FUCKING TOUCH MY FUCKING MANGER!!' crowd. Sorry but Christmas isn't exclusively a religious holiday any more than Thanksgiving is a holiday for carnivores.
Humorous how you talk about atheists being 'angry' when it's people like you talking about war on this and on that. I did a search and I don't happen to see any threads from atheists who are pissed off about the presence of religious propaganda.. only you who's angry about the lack thereof. How about you fill your house with crosses, wild animals and people dressed up like wise men and let them sacrifice the baby, or whatever the fuck is supposed to happen at the nativity scene.
Just be happy, spend time with your friends and loved ones and build a god damned fucking manger in your own backyard.
