So what is WalMart's actual corporate position on the religion of the Visigoths? Are they Arians, or Gnostics, or what?
Theologians everywhere want to know.....
To: NYer
Bill Donohue is fantastic. Imagine if the political leaders on our side were as unapologetic and forceful as him.

This associate, who was hired less than three weeks ago, is no longer employed by our company. Is there a picture of this 'shroom' guy anywhere?

I don't need any corporation to endorse my religion.
I however also believe that you can shop wherever you want. You want Christmas go to places that belong to your religion.
However I'll bet you anything that Jesus would want us to walk into places where there are not Christians and spread the gospel rather than trying to make everyone conform to us just for the sake of not pissing us off.

Thank God for Bill Donohue & the Catholic League!
Ya just can't mess with the Irish Catholics! LOL
But I still think we'll do our Christmas shopping online purchasing products MADE IN USA!
And you ask "where can I find products MADE IN USA?"

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Donohue said Wal-Mart has also adjusted its Web site so that when a customer types "Christmas" in its search engine, the customer is taken directly to a site named "Christmas."****************
Good for him. Another victory in the war against religion.

To: Almondjoy
However I'll bet you anythingI'll take that bet! I bet 50 quid (80 dollars?) that Jesus would prefer that Wall-Mart mentioned his name on a webpage to do with his Birthday.
Now we just have to wait until the Second Coming to find out which one of us is right :0)

I hear Macy's also will be bringing back Merry Christmas and dropping the Happy Holiday's BS.
To: NYer
This is yesterday's news from last week. This is all a non issue.
To: Almondjoy

That's not really the issue. It's about the judeo-christian cultural that this country was founded on; and until just the last 40 years was the glue that held society together. The Atheists have been relentlessly attacking our culture and some of us are sick and tired of it! I believe there is a incipient movement to take our country back and protesting those merchants that want to ignore the reason for Christmas is part of it. No one should be ashamed to say Merry Christmas! So what if some atheist is offended; F#*% 'em! THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT FOUNDED FOR ATHEISTS!
The best way to respond when some salesperson says "Happy Holidays" is with a hearty "Merry Christmas!" which usually makes the individual feel silly for going along with the politically correct in the first place. Most times they beam with happiness that someone is rebelling against the nonsense, and they too come back with "Merry Christmas!"
To: NYer
I have gone out of my way for the past few years to respond to a "Happy Holidays" with a "Merry Christmas".
Someone actually told me that it was not correct to say "Merry Christmas" anymore, to which I replied, "I am a Christian, I celebrate the birth of Christ at this time of year".

I don't need any corporation to endorse my religion. That might be so if that were the case BUT that has nothing to do with this. This has to do with succesful opposition against removing Christ from public discourse. There is nothing shameful about proclaiming Christ whether it be in observance of His birth or in taking an oath of office etcetera. If proclaiming Christ in public was made illegal I for one would be found guilty of such a crime...
