You are missing the reason for Christians being offended. I am NOT offended to hear Happy Holidays from anyone. As I stated earlier, I am offended when anti's call up Stores and demand that Marry Christmas be removed form their Stores!

I agree with this. But your original post to me said this:

The anti Christian people are the ones that started this "xmas" and "happy holiday" as a slap in the face of every Christian!

We've dealt with Xmas. And here, you seem to be saying that anyone who says "happy holiday" is a slap in the face of every Christian. When you say that the people who started saying "Happy Holidays" are specifically anti-Christian, sorry if that seems extremely paranoid to me. If you had just mentioned that your ONLY problem with the Happy Holidays thing was that people were forced to say it, then I never would have posted back to you.

Do you understand that "Christ" is a name included in the phrase "Merry Christmas" and to exclude Christmas, to most Christians, it is the same as excluding Jesus Christs very name which is extremely offensive to most Christians.

So now what are you saying? You just said you aren't offended to hear Happy Holidays from anyone. Now you're saying that excluding Christ or not saying Merry Christmas is extremely offensive to most Christians.

Isn't that forcing your PC on me?

"So now what are you saying? You just said you aren't offended to hear Happy Holidays from anyone. Now you're saying that excluding Christ or not saying Merry Christmas is extremely offensive to most Christians."

I am talking about the Stores that refuse to use Merry Christmas, and why is it offensive to most Christians. If any Store removes Merry Christmas or forbids its employees from greeting people with Merry Christmas is offensive.

What anyone does personally, I don't care, but, don't demand that Stores be offensive to Christians. I can't tell you what to think or say, although the PC try to. I can decide not to shop in a Store that goes along with the PC crowd.
