How about you mind your business if you can't understand what I'm saying. That response doesn't go against the thread title

Be honest, even you don't understand what you're saying half the time. You're duller than a fencepost.

My point is Christians aren't the only religious group (those who identify it as such) that get offended by that. I've never even heard of that before not even from the most bigoted ones

That doesn't make any sense. Why would a Muslim, Jew, atheist, etc. get mad at someone for saying happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas? I've never seen a non-Christian get mad at that.

Because there are just 3 religions right? Because you know the billions of people in the world right? Should I say that this thread is fallacious because I've never seen a Christian get mad because of that? I wasn't trying to turn this into a debate. I was just agreeing with OG Sama. I've never personally seen a Christian get mad, but I have seen other people of different religions get mad or irritated. Just suggesting that different words could have been chosen

Ill be honest. You need to mind your business. I know exactly what I said

I never said that there was only three religions. Do you know what etc means?

On my phone didn't see it my bad. My whole point is the last sentence

What different words should have been chosen? The vast majority of people that are mad over people saying happy holidays instead of merry Christmas are Christians, so I don't see anything wrong with that part. Also, I see that you're being petty as usual since you gave me a neg rep because I gave you one.

That's your speculation. How many people on this thread have just told you that they've never seen Christians get mad or feel any type of way? That means the vast majority you see are actually a minority in comparison. You should have said some people instead. Obvious bait is obvious


Guess I'm petty then. I read the title, don't know what you negged me for

It depends on the individuals. Not all Christians have an issue with being told, "merry Christmas."

Because their holiday has become secular and they don't like it.

They're probably the same group that banned all Halloween activities from public schools, where they now have "fall festivals."

A minority of Christians are mad at people saying happy holidays instead of merry Christmas, but the fast majority that are mad at this are Christians. I negged you because you clearly didn't read the title right and insulted atheists, and of course you negged me for giving you a neg rep.

Again your assumption and anecdotal analysis. Have you meet all the Christians to say it's the majority? Maybe you should stick to hiding in the shadows


Like I said guess I'm petty then. I didn't insult atheist I said simple atheist mentality. Quite obvious you were looking for a hot thread

It's common sense dude. Obviously Christians would be the most pissed off since Christmas is now a Christian holiday.

:wesobi:

Again, you're counting the minority. Scrooges don't like Christmas, are all of them religious?

Should I neg you for not reading correctly?


Scrooges don't like anything about Christmas, no happy holidays, merry Christmas, nothing. Does that make them fit the criteria in your thread? Again, I don't even know why you made exclusively for Christians when only the ones you've seen (if you have) has done so. Anyway I'm out

No it doesn't apply to them since they don't like Christmas and don't celebrate it.

Its very true that many do but it just shows their ignorance. Its not the day Jesus was born and its a pagan holiday that predates Christianity. It also reminds me of many Christians getting upset by things ppl do on Sunday because Christians think its a holy day and we should rest and give thanks to God, when its Saturday thats the 7th day and Sunday is the 1st day of the week. This kind of ignorance and narrow mindedness is just funny to me. Dont get me wrong, im using Christianity as the example because its the topic of this thread but every institutionalized religiin is guilty of the same absurdness.
