War on Christmas

[EvilDarkMagicians]

:palm: Not this again.

The only reason there's a "war" on Christmas, is because of two classes of fundamentalist, extremist, attention-whores - militant atheists who will insist that religion MUST NOT BE SEEN IN PUBLIC and militant Christians who perceive everything as AN ATTACK ON THEM. Get over it people, most of the people in the US, in the world, don't give a flying f..k. Believe or don't believe - I don't care - just shut the f..k up about it.

There is no such thing as Militant Christians.

There's is militant everything....

They are, though! Although, even if they fought in Christmas' side I'd still hate them. Those commercials drive me up the wall!

For the solstice, reclaim the holiday for our pagan brothers!

I should do my shopping by this list. Only in reverse of how they want it used.
Man the trenches against the Christmas traditions.

I love how Cabela's and Bass Pro Shop are like >90% friendly towards Christmas. Seems indicative of the target audience, doesn't it? Not that it's a good or bad thing, they've just obviously got good business sense and an understanding of their customer base.

Surely you can do better then that Kobrania, I've been Christian thirty years and I've never been militant nor have I known any other Christians that were.

The war that the Bible talks about is a spiritual battle, not a physical one.

i highly doubt that even cabela's would suffer much from being explicitly inclusive. after all, these people think that little girls chanting 'how cute are these boots?' is offensive to god. they are not normal people.

Well the Church on Earth is called the "Church Militant".

C'mon, what does chanting 'How cute are these boots' not offend?

And can you not imagine a good portion of Cabelas' customer base shopping elsewhere if they somehow explicitly included Ramadan or Hannukah or something? For the very reason that many aren't normal people, they will likely go to Sportsman's Paradise or something instead.

The guy who shot Tiller was a Christian. There are dominionist Christians that want to force everyone to live by OT law which demands execution for a great many things. The crusades and the Spanish Inquisition. How's that for militant?

I hereby invoke the Nae True Scotsman fallacy.

It's only a semi-fallacy when it comes to matters religious.

In fact, the overwhelming majority of domestic terrorism in the USA is perpetrated by Christians. We're just not supposed to call it "terrorism," and we're also not supposed to link their violent behavior to the radical religious beliefs they hold, because they're white people who like Jeebus instead of being brown people who like Allah.

[Allbeama]

I declare A WAR on XMAS in the name of Halloween!

The Demon Lords approve of this declaration and pledge one million demon soldiers to the fight. We'll get them damn elves, and feast on venison at the victory celebration!

Your support in this endeavor is most appreciated.

Isn't it funny how it works that way? Yes, blowing up the abortion clinic is a valid political statement, but what happened on 9/11 is completely different.

its worse than that, even. bombing the abortion clinic is the act of a lone crazy nutjob acting for no reason at all, and certainly not any reason that could implicate anyone else. unlike those damn islamists.

Christian Identists don't speak for all Christians.

Heck, they believe they are actually Israelites.

Winter solstice celebrations existed before christianity was thought up.
