It's MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

[BADDOG]

I had to say this here after reading a ridiculous article in one of our local papers about Chritmas!

The idiot writing this article sates that, "some people might find wishing them a Merry Christmas offensive" well excuse me but it happens to be called Christmas not "Happy Holidays", "Winterfest (yes WINTERFEST!)" or (and you have to wonder what moron came up with this one!), "Mid Winter Festival"!!!!

Simply put it's Christmas a Christian celebration of the birth of Christ no matter how commercialised it may have become it's still a Christian holiday and if we let these idiots and their "political correctness" take over we will live in a world where man hole covers become "person hole covers", Chairman or Chairwoman become just "chair" etc etc so to one and all of all faiths and religions I wish you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.

its just the begining, l8r on it will get a whole lot worse, till it gets so bad the if your a christian you will be thought evil and most will seek you out.
this is being put out by the athest clan, you know them, their the ones who come to everyones door saying that there is no god and trying to force you to belive as they do, and if you say im not interested they get beligerant.and im supposed to stop doing what i belive in to keep from offending them when they get ill at me for not beliving as they do.
i say KMA.

their also the ones who say that prayer in schools is a bad idea, and the under god cannot be said, i say its ither 1 nation UNDER GOD or bite my ass and just leave.
it says in the scriptures that in the last days many shale lose their faith, and ya see all the new churches these days that dont preach from the bible anymore they have a dam workbook that the babtist, and other administrations give them to teach out of.
and when i was going to my local babtist church i cross refrenced a lot of stuff in these books with the scriptures,and it is totally diffrent, most of the time when i was in the class room the teacher would start talking about their day and how it went and b4 ya knew it the class was over, im sitting there like, wtf, what the hell did that have to do with the bible.
so i stoped going to that social club, it has got to be pretty dam bad when a 15yr old can quote parts of the bible that the precher has to look up and has never heard of.
as it is written, many shale loose their faith.
and in the worst parts if they wana start something with me and try to arest me or worse for my faith in the lord almighty, ill send them to see their maker personally.
screw them and i dont care if their offended, these people have turned into compleat and total pusses.

one of my friends is Greek and doesnt celebrate christmas..but he owns a restaurant and had a merry christmas sign outside. Someone got offended by it and demanded that they take it down...the owners said they didnt care if he is offended and if he doesnt like it he should leave.

It brings a tear to my eye..*sniff*

i got in trouble at school today for saying merry christmas or something, and the teacher told me to never say it again, so i got in an argument and got sent to inschool suspension, and oh yea, i plan to say it every day next week.. lol

[Mauser 98K]

stricktly speaking its aganst the law to tell some1 that they cant practice their religion. and if they tell you to stop and you dont, if they fine you or arrest you, you can sue them, for it is flat aganst te law to tell or keep some1 from practicing their religious belief.
it is also an infringment of constitutional rights to do the same, witch is a treasonabl offence, and in the old days ya could stringem up.

well she kept saying that i was offending some students, then i told her that they will need to get over it..

[Mauser 98K]

i would have said something else to her, lol. its true, these self absorbed dumbass people need to build a bridge and get over it.
this is supposed to be the land of the free, and i will exercise my rights given to my by the lord almighty and by those who died on the battlefield so that we could live in a free nation free from tyrrany, and opression.
how would we be honoring those who fought and died if we just give in to these communist.

Isnt Christmas and easter fundamentally based of pagan holidays anyway?

[Mauser 98K]

no, easter is suppose to been when jesus was crucified and rose in 3 days, and christmas is supposed to be when jesus was born in bethleham, most people think that its just about presents and dang eggs but the tru story behind it is in the bible.

Some elements of Chritsmas were carried by the early Christians for the Roman "Saturnalia" celebrations but essentially Chritmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ according to purist Christian doctorate.

The carry over was only done because the early church was founded in Rome so it was much easier to use some pagan symbols for those early Christians.
