Non-Christians Celebrating Christmas

[Kalli]

Hopefully I've cleared this up enough to make my point understandable.

To put it simpler...

If you partake in the traditions, you've got no right to be offended when someone wishes you to enjoy them.

OK, but at no point did anyone here say that they WERE offended when someone said "Merry Christmas".

I think you were ranting about THOSE people, and I *thought* you were ranting about the hypocrisy of a Christless Christmas.

I never said anyone here said they were offended. I simply asked how many of our readers that claim it's ok for non-Christians to celebrate Christmas get offended when they're wished a Merry Christmas, instead of being polite in return. I wish the non-Christians that don't celebrate Christmas that get offended would be polite as well. Hell... I wish the Christians that get offended when someone wishes them a "Happy Holidays" would be polite, but alas... We can all dream, can't we?

Personally, I don't believe that those people exist. Sure, there will be one or two nuts, but there's no liberal conspiracy against people saying "Merry Christmas." It's just Fox News-fuelled hyberbole.

Speaking personally, I don't know of or have heard of anyone getting offended by "Merry Christmas." Not the whole country of course, just my corner of it. Anyone who does is a whack job regardless of what beliefs, or lack of beliefs, they have.
