That is pretty insulting to the members of this list. 
I am surprised to see that from you.

"Everyone"??  This is my point!  not "everyone"
celebrates Christmas.  While, the church would LOVE it
if that were true, it simply is not.  If there is a
"war on Christmas", who is fighting it if "everyone
celebrates"?

Thinking that everyone celebrates Christmas is just
flat out incorrect.  That is not an opinion. 

Christmas is a RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY. That is not an
opinion.

It is not my fault my employer chooses to close for
Christmas.  Plenty of non-Jewish people in New York
City get many Jewish holidays off....  But they don't
have 8 weeks of people cramming "L'shana tova" down
their throats, along with religious music in public
places, religious symbols displayed on government
property, and the list goes on.  How would you feel if
you sat in a restaurant and listen to BAD music
singing about how your beliefs are wrong? 

One day off a year is not enough compensation for the
aggravation caused by Christmas.  I'd glady exchange
the day off to not have to hear about a 100%
commercial holiday.  If you want to discuss my
opinions on the history of Christmas, we will have to
do that offline because the subject of religion is now
banned here.

While there is some truth to "always want to be
right", I think that goes for just about everyone. 
Anyone who had any self respect will want to be right.
 However, that does not mean I can never be wrong. 
The topics we tend to discuss here (non DeLorean) are
not always cut and dry.  I don't think I have ever
"won" any online debate, as I said before it is for
education and entertainment.

What did I do wrong??  Yup..  Many times I throw my
comments or opinions out there.  Many times they
generate discussions, which is cool.  I have only
found fault with those who find fault with *ME* as
opposed to either keeping their insults to themselves,
or participating in the discussion with facts and
opinions ON THE TOPIC (not about me).

Try seeing Christmas from the perspective of someone
who does not celebrate it.
