Merry Christmas from Italy!

Thankyou.
However, it is not fashionable in the USA to use the "C" word in the current
PC climate. Merry Holidays or Merry Festivus is acceptable though.

Is this for real?

When I heard it I just thought it was a joke.

Happy Xmas from Sweden BTW.

Here we have Christmas although the Christianity is not
all that fashionable and we have a King although he has
no real power. So - tradition is not all that fashionable.

Yup.

It is a joke, not that it was intended to be.  Considering the rampant
materialism that has morphed Jesus into Santa "The Paragon of 4Q
Earnings", a lot of folks can't stand themselves this time of year, so
there's always someone picking on someone else.

Nope.  It is just hype by the Christian fundamentalists, who use scare
tactics to make people think that they are under attack from the left wing.

No one (who matters, that is) objects to the greeting "Merry Christmas" in
the US, although in recognition of the fact that everyone celebrating the
year-end holidays (which is, by the way, another religious word, "holy
day") are not Christians, the greeting "Happy Holidays" is also popular.
Don't know where you got the "Merry Festivus" though (I have never heard
that in the US).

In fact, President Bush, an avowed Christian, this year wished everyone
"Happy Holidays," not "Merry Christmas."

> When I heard it I just thought it was a joke.

Those who would try to scare us into thinking our Christian heritage and
religion is in danger of being destroyed (as if that were possible) are
not joking.

> Happy Xmas from Sweden BTW.

And a Merry Christmas to you as well.  But be careful with the use of
"Xmas."  Some fundamental (and ignorant) Christians in the U.S. object to
what they see as substituting "X" for the name of Christ, not realizing
that "X" is the Greek "Chi" the initial letter in the word Christ.

> Here we have Christmas although the Christianity is not

That's correct.  Traditions, language and celebrations change over time;
but underlying religious truths do not.

No, it is not a joke. Not only have some of the Muslims f.cked up the world
with terrorism, but now the PC brigade do not wish to offend them. Our
culture is on a slippery slope and the economy is f.cked with all the
expenditure on Iraq and Afghanistan. And still Dubya, Rumsfeld and cohorts
tell us that we are winning the war on terrorism. If this is winning I would
hate to be on the losing side.
Nontheless, a very Merry Christmas to all Christians and let us hope that
2005 is a safer year than 2004.
God Bless every single one of you.
goldenmike4393@yahoo.com - 25 Dec 2004 15:37 GMT
It's simple.

When someone wishes you "Happy
Holidays", you return a big
MERRY CHRISTMAS especially if you
think it will bother them.

That's what I do.  I offend them
intentionally. They do nothing to
tone down their barbaric Mulsimism
and believe me, they offend the entire
world each time they cut off a head.

"All things therefore that you want people to do to you, do thus to
them." (Matthew 7:12)

I bet Jesus would be so proud of how well you do following the golden
rule.  (In the spirit of the holiday, I'm not going to say anything
more to you about this topic.  If you reply with an unchristian reply,
it will not be answered.  That is my holiday gift to you, enjoy.)

Please accept without obligation, express or implied, these best
wishes for an environmentally safe, socially responsible, low stress,
non-addictive, and gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice
holiday as practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the
religious persuasion of your choice (but with respect for the
religious or secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or for
their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all)
and further for a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and
medically uncomplicated onset of the generally accepted calendar year
(including, but not limited to, the Christian calendar, but not
without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures).
The preceding wishes are extended without regard to the race, creed,
age, physical ability, religious faith or lack thereof, choice of
computer platform, or sexual preference of the wishee(s).  This
message may not be copied without the express permission of the person
I stole it from.

How about this...

Go to hell.  I don't tell them
how to worship, why should
they restrict my way?

Like I said, go to hell.

Exactly who is trying to restrict the way you worship, and how are they
trying to do it?

OK, so you're a putz.

Not everyone who wishes you a "Happy Holidays" is Muslim, doofus.

Furthermore, Islam is no more barbaric than Christianity--it's no less
barbaric, for that matter.

So, have a merry f.cking Christmas, a.shole!  I hope you enjoy your lump
of coal, because that's all that Santa is going to give jerks like you.

Too bad you don't understand the meaning of Christmas or of being
Christian.  No one who deliberately offends others for the sake of being
offensive is Christian, so you're no Christian.

> emphasis on "Christ" the Only Way.

The only way for you, perhaps, but not the only way for everyone.  But
not even for you, because you're no Christian.  You may pretend to be
Christian, but you are not Christian.

So Merry f.cking Christmas to you.

I know exactly what I'm talking about, and the only reason you laugh is
because you are a fool.

So, keep up your pretense of being Christian; we know better.
