Do you seriously want me to back up the claim that Christmas Day is a federal holiday? Are you for real?



I don't want to control anyone. I want others to stop trying to control me, and I also want people to stop acting like ****** idiots and pretending that the latter constitutes the former.

I am still waiting for you to explain how Switzerland's neutrality in WWII constituted aggression on behalf of one of the sides (which is what your moronic, asinine, utterly retarded argument is equivalent to).

Please explain how you are being controlled by others faith? Are you not allowed to not worship, or worship any faith you wish? Please name the faiths that are outlawed in the US? BTW the military has had Muslim Chaplains for some time.

I don't care what you find offensive.

You should care, because if you are part of a theocratic mob, then you are part of the problem.

Christmas is a retail holiday.

Christmas is a religious holiday.

I read just fine, you want to control other people's beliefs and it is not working for you.

You should stop telling blatant lies about what I said.

Again we agree I don't care and couldn't care less about your whimpering on other people's right to worship.

I want assclowns to stop putting words into my mouth, and I want the government to stop trying to force religion onto me. Anyone who is not mentally retarded understands that demanding that the government stay out of religion has NOTHING to do with other people's right to worship.

Well you have a point about being controlled by Christmas, that Santa Claus is watching you all the time and can give you all your wishes or cruelly deny them by his judgement or your adherence to his subjective moral rules

:lol: Thank you for that, damn that Easter bunny too.:lol:

I pray daily for entertainment by some person obsessed with controlling others. Thank you God for answering my prayers.:lol:

When the government, which is a PUBLIC entity (that means that is it SUPPOSED to represent all of its citizens), plays favorites, and endorses a particular religion, that constitutes discrimination against CITIZENS (who, according to certain people, are "whimpering" when they object to being treated like second class citizens, but who gives a sht about them, they are just piece of crap minorities to wonderful people like you) who are not adherents of that religion.

Are you not allowed to not worship, or worship any faith you wish?

I have to live under a government that does not treat me as equal to others.

BTW the military has had Muslim Chaplains for some time.

The point is that for a long period of time, adherents of certain religions were systematically forbidden from having chaplins.

Christmas is a renaming of a pagan holiday, most bible scholars believe Christ was born in the spring and not the winter. Also if you tried to de list Christmas as a holiday the unions representing government employees will throw a cow, I hardly think they feel oppressed by either a day off or holiday premium pay. I mean that's crap straight out of nazi germany right there :rolleyes:

Keeping the government out of religion has jack sht to do with controlling the private lives others. You are either deliberately being obtuse, or it isn't deliberate (which is very scary).

Nobody is forced to participate, it is still a free country. And I believe if you insist you could work the holiday if your job or the government gives you off. The government did not create the holiday, only allowed people to celebrate it, nobody is forced to pray, buy gifts, or any such silly claims. OTH a few tantrum throwers are trying to actually stop people from celebrating their faith. Too bad, so sad...

I'm personally fine with Christmas (or Saturnalia if you prefer). I enjoy all the pagan rituals like decorating trees and such. I just don't partake in the delusion that it's Jesus' birthday, when even Biblical scholars say it isn't. Same thing with Easter, I enjoy all the pagan rituals like coloring eggs, without pretending that a day that changes from year to year depending on when the Spring Equinox is, is actually the day Jesus rose from the dead. I can celebrate these holidays without attributing obvious lies about the meaning to the holiday.

No, a few people are trying to stop people from forcing others to celebrate their faith. I don't give a flying **** what you do, but once you tell me to do it you can kiss my ass.

Making a religious holiday into a federal holiday does not enable its celebration. By your "logic", Jews are not able to celebrate their holidays because they have not been made into federal holidays.

Jews celebrate hanukkah at the same date, African Americans celebrate kwanzaa, there is nothing in the law that demands that anybody celebrate anything. Complaining about others faith IMO is pithy.

You still have not explained how you have been personally forced to pray to any religion. Just how have you been controlled other than your own paranoia?

View attachment 10201 :lol:

If time travel were possible, people like you should be sent to the Dark Ages where you could actually inflict violence upon religious minorities, rather than this soft, passive agressive stuff where you shown them who is boss via the double standards that ADobbs1989 and I have highlighted. It must be frustrating when you can only show your hate against those who are different than you through pissant discrimination instead of old school violence.
