Imagine being a person that can concoct this sort of insane narrative to live in. The extent of the "war on christmas" was a few retailers training cashiers to say happy holidays and some suburbs putting up menorahs and snowflakes next to the christmas trees. Yet you have managed to create a world in your mind where people are being suppressed from saying merry christmas by some nefarious pc forces, and it just gets you so mad.

I can't count the number of people I've seen on TV/print, social media, or even in person who have said something to the effect of "We can say Merry Christmas again!" in the past month or two.

I always thought the happy holidays thing was started by big companies telling their employees to say happy holidays instead of merry christmas, nothing to do with the government cause christmas is celebrated at the white house every year and there's nothing controversial about it

even in the 90s i heard "happy holidays" and i thought it was just inclusive of christmas and new years since i wasn't in school for those two holidays (plural -- hence happy holidays). i didn't know it was some big liberal conspiracy to wipe christmas out completely.

In high school, I would suddenly and conveniently get super Catholic whenever somebody pointedly wished me merry Christmas before sundown on December 24th, and would take the opportunity to let them know that it was Advent, not Christmas, and would they please have some loving respect, just because they were a godless loving heathen doesn't mean that they get to reduce the season of Christ's coming to just one day. rear end in a top hat. Later I would arbitrarily pretend to follow the Eastern liturgical calendar, so Christmas was actually January 7th, please don't impose your Romist heresy on me just because you don't give a poo poo about Jesus. If nothing else, I confused a lot of people who thought they were letting me know that Jesus was the reason for the season. It was a weird phase.

When your entire lifestyle is built around excluding others and denying them the various benefits your in-group enjoys, you assume that including others can only be done by your group being excluded. In this case, they’re so used to having Christmas dominate this entire season that even acknowledging that there are other holidays in the winter is taking away from their culture.

Soylent's Guide to surviving crazy rightwing family Christmas parties: 0) Be told over and over again how Trump is supporting "my people" by moving the embassy to Jerusalem. 1) Drink every time the above happens. 2) Wish people Happy Holidays. 3) When called out apologize and wish them a Happy Hanukkah. 4) When called out a second time explain you don't acknowledge Christmas because Christianity is just an idol worshiping Jewish heresy that fundamentally misunderstands the messianic prophesy. 5) Uber back to my sister's apartment and pet her doggo while marathoning Law & Order.

The specificity of naming Russia, no definitely not a good idea.

If you really want to gently caress with "christians" in America start a conversation educating them about the pagan origins of the cross and the biological impossibility of having been nailed through the palms. They're so wrapped up in the iconography it's hilarious, especially when their own book calls them out on it.

This only works with some denominations, though. Mormons, for example, reject the cross iconography, hold that the nails were driven through both the palms and the wrist, and acknowledge that the actual birth was in the spring and that the modern observance in December is as much a secular/pagan practice as it is a Christian one. Although pointing out that the Mormons are more reasonable with their observance of a holiday than Protestants/Catholics/whathaveyou can also get good reactions from the sort of person that gets worked up about that.

If nothing else, I confused a lot of people who thought they were letting me know that Jesus was the reason for the season. If you were Muslim you could double-dip on acknowledging that the birth of the Prophet Jesus was indeed very important, but also get out of your unit's mando fun Christmas party by saying that it's kufr to celebrate it like that. In actual current events, Haley announced a $285 million cut to the UN budget, and Guatemala has also recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel now.

Y'all should listen to Christian talk radio if it's available. We have like 3 stations here on FM, no idea about AM, but every drat time I hear any of it its about how American Christians are the most persecuted group in history or something. Though, to be fair, I haven't listened to any since the election so who knows what they talk about now.

If you believe your faith is exclusively correct, evangelical, and the bedrock of the nation, then yeah, being forced in any way to back down from your position of unquestioned cultural dominance in order to make room for and validate those with false beliefs is a massive affront. For some folks, Christianity is every bit as real and true as the scientific consensus on gravity. AM talk radio is their version of the D&D "how will I ever survive the holidays with my republican relatives?" thread. bird food bathtub posted:If you really want to gently caress with "christians" in America start a conversation educating them about the pagan origins of the cross and the biological impossibility of having been nailed through the palms. Or you could just leave people alone and let them enjoy their holiday, since nothing is more tiresome than someone trying to "well actually its a pagan celebration  ".

The church i went to growing up encouraged us to say happy holidays, and to remember the people who had different faiths and holidays during the season. it was about everyone coming together to make the world a better place whether you did it in Jesus name or not. also Jesus was tied to the cross before the nails were driven.

Kinda  , but this is how you raise atheists.You're basically telling kids that what's important is how people treat each other, not what they believe in, and some of them will gradually realize, as Socrates put it before he was executed for spreading atheism among the youth, that that wise man would not need Zeus, or as we might say, the good man, Christ. Even if they don't realize it, they'll act like it. On the other hand, if you tell kids that only their church are the real Christians, and everyone's out to get them, and that adherence to correct ritual demands they sacrifice friendships and opportunities, then you encourage them to stay close, foster social and psychological dependence on the in-group, and keep traditions alive for generations even in the face of societal pressure. Merry Christmas!
