"If they don't want Christ is Christmas they can just go to work on the holidays then."

Amen! The government offices can stay open for the duration of the Easter holidays as well. And mail should now be delivered on Sundays - no more day of rest on the day set aside to worship!!

It just burns me to no end that learning about and celebrating other religion's holidays (hannukah, kwanza, ramaadan, etc.) is A-OK for the schools and government offices, but any mention of Christmas being a celebration of the birth of Christ (and, thus, the beginning of Christianity) is BANNED. I am always open to LEARNING how others celebrate and I don't even oppose having my kids learn about it in school (growing up in Southern California, we 'celebrated' Cinco de Mayo - that didn't make me Mexican OR Catholic!). I just don't believe for one second that the entire Christian religion should be banned in order to "not offend" anyone.

The whole idea of someone being "offended" enough to banish another person's beliefs just disgusts me. I'll do my thing, you do yours - as long as neither is hurting the other, what is the problem??? I've never assaulted a gay person for their choices (and to do that would now be a crime), so why should MY personal freedoms and choices be trampled in an effort to create a more "tolerant" world?!
