There is nothing wrong with wishing someone a happy holiday by its name just as I see nothing wrong with me saying Happy Thanksgiving or Merry Christmas. What you believe in is what you should say. Different religions has no bearing on who I call friends just as long as it involves doing good and spreading peace. Muslims have radicals terrorist just like Christians have Nazis. It doesn't affect the whole religion just the ignorant ones that decipher the scriptures differently. There are good Muslims and good Christians who make great Americans, so who cares on how you say it since it's the message in the words that counts.....Comment

I think what's frustrating is that while Best Buy will put up "Happy Eid al-adha", you won't see "Merry Christmas" in favor of "Happy Holidays".Originally posted by flyingpootangStay Classy, AO...BEO: RIP / Topgun Paintball: RIP / Old MCB: RIPComment

Either say "happy holidays" to cover every holiday, or mention everyone's holidays individually. If anyone wants JUST their holiday mentioned, whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, etc, they're being a pig headed dick.
That having been said, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who's an American. To everyone else, I really don't know your equivalent but whatever it is, have a good one. I could care less about your holiday and I'm sure you could care less about mine.Comment

Yup that's why they will not be getting my business anymore. I guess being politically correct doesn't include respecting Catholicism beliefs....Originally posted by zondoComment

First of all, fine on the Thanksgiving because it's an American holiday. It was born out of the Civil War, an event which is second in importance to our nation only to the revolution which it was born out of. But If you want everything but "Merry Christmas" outlawed, you're kind of being just as bad as the PC crowd. We're not nor have we ever been a Christian nation (unless you want to count the 50's). If people want to say "Happy Holidays" and you're offended by it, tough cookies. If they want to say "Merry Christmas" that's fine too. I could care less what someone says as long as they aren't doing it for the sake of being a dick. People need to stop getting offended by everything, conservatives and liberals, religious and irreligious, god-fearing and godless.Originally posted by going_homeIts happy Thanksgiving and merry Christmas and if you dont like that go back to your camel and tents !

Whether you believe in a deity or not, if you're whining about what other people are saying, you're wrong and you should go live in a communist country for a while. Then come back and tell me you want to keep whining about other people's freedom of speech. Love it or leave it. If you're going to be a cry baby, preferably choose the latter. The freedoms we enjoy in this nation weren't bestowed upon us by cry babies and complainers. I think they'd be sick to their stomachs if they heard people complaining about their right to not have their "feelings" hurt. It gets my blood boiling when I hear someone whining about the fact that the supermarket put up a sign that says "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" when we've got guys and gals out there putting their lives in danger so you can sit back here and cry about the phraseology surrounding the holidays.
The sense of "entitlement" that a lot of people feel in this country is downright disgusting. Whether you're a Christian, a Muslim, or an Atheist, I don't care. Whatever deity you do or don't pray to, if someone wishes you a happy holiday, Christmas, Ramadan, etc just smile and remember that people shed actual blood so we could have a society with that kind of variation in beliefs and ideology.Last edited by warbeak2099; 11-26-2009, 06:29 PM.Comment

Taken from : http://www.shalomjerusalem.com/heritage/heritage17.html"Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian." - United States Supreme Court, 1892.
While making certain not to endorse any denomination of religion over another, the founders of this nation made it emphatically clear that the principles upon which this Nation was built are based squarely upon the Bible.
Virtually every one of the 55 writers and signers of the United States Constitution were members of various Christian denominations: 29 were Anglicans, 16 to 18 were Calvinists, 2 were Methodists, 2 were Lutherans, 2 were Roman Catholic, 1 lapsed Quaker and sometimes Anglican, and 1 open deist--Dr. Franklin who attended every kind of Christian worship, called for public prayer, and contributed to all denominations.
George Mason is called the father of the Bill of Rights, for he insisted that the first ten amendments be added to the Constitution. The purpose for such an addition? "The laws of nature are the laws of God, whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth," Mason said.
James McHenry was a member of the Continental Congress, a state legislator, a soldier, and a signer of the Constitution...as well as the president of the first Bible Society in Baltimore. McHenry stated:
Neither...let it be overlooked, that public utility pleads most forcibly for the general distribution of the Holy Scriptures.
The doctrine they preach, the obligations they impose, the punishment they threaten, the rewards they promise, the stamp and image of divinity they bear, which produces a conviction of their truths, can alone secure to society, order and peace, and to our courts of justice and constitutions of government, purity, stability, and usefulness.
Charles Cotesworth Pinckney also signed the Constitution, and served as a delegate to the national Constitutional Convention and an author of the Constitution of South Caroline. Pinckney was a statesman, soldier, planter, a brigadier general and a candidate for President and Vice-President. Like the rest of the signers of the Constitution, he too recognized the Sovereignty of God:
"Blasphemy against the Almighty is denying his being or providence, or uttering contumelious reproaches on our Saviour Christ. It is punished, at common law by fine and imprisonment, for Christianity is part of the laws of the land."
And, for those who fear this sort of Law breeds intolerance or disrespect for others, Patrick Henry boldly declared:
It cannot be emphasized too strongly that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded assylum, prosperity and freedom of worship here.
Likewise, the Constitution of the United States was drafted so as to be in accordance with the Scriptures, to be the legal foundation of a republican form of government based on that model which God had ordained for the children of Israel. Indeed, Thomas Jefferson even suggested that the national seal be a portrayal of "the children of Israel in the wilderness, led by a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night." Much of the Constitution and our American common law and organic law is also derived from the principles of the Magna Carta, which expressly forbade monarchial tyranny.
In accordance with the spirit of Liberty which motivated those Righteous men of Principle so many years ago,
We the members of the U.S. Taxpayers Party gratefully acknowledge the blessing of the Lord God as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of this Nation...
The U.S. Constitution established a republic under God, rather than a democracy.
In a republic governed by Constitutional law rooted in Biblical law,all life, liberty and property are safe because Law rules.
Dont try to rewrite history just because you dont believe in God.
If you want to believe the moon is made of green cheese its absolutely your right.
But history tells us the signers of the US Constitution were God fearing men.
Many paid the ultimate price because they signed it.
Good luck with the whole "America was not founded a Christian nation" thing .
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.Comment
