How is having a cresh in a Mall forcing my beliefs on anyone//am I forcing them to recieve Jesus as their personal savior becuase they are reminded the real (original) reason for this “Holliday”??

Am I shoving it down their throat?

Am I forcing someone to read the Bible becuase I would like the original meaning of CHRISTmas Honored?

If YOU can’t answer YES to any of those, then CASE CLOSED!!

Nothing like forcing your beliefs on everyone else. How Christian of you.


Has someone forced you to pray?
Has someone forced you to goto church?
If you want to hear the good news, I will tell.
You can accept or reject. Your choice.
But force you to be a Christian? Impossible.

You want to try and force the General Growth into having a Christian symbol displayed on their property. They have a policy that does not allow this, so either you are going to force them to do this, or refuse to shop there?

WTF is that?

Do you do this at every store you frequent? Do you threaten them to have a nativity scene out in the open or you will never shop there again? If not, that’s a tad bit hypocritical don’t ya think?

It’s my RIGHT as an AMerican NOT to shop at anywhere that I don’t want for WHATEVER REASON! PLEASE ELABORATE ON HOW I AM “FORCING” them to put up a Christmas Cresh??

I just choose not to celebrate Christmas ($$$$) for or with those whom choose to lobotomize CHRISTmas?

So you didn’t answer my question. Do you shop at other locations that do not have a navity scene in place? If you don’t good for you, you are right, that is your right. However, if you do, you are a hypocrit.

Have a great “holiday”. Grinch

Sure, but I don’t think every McDonalds Can have a nativity (However it is tradion to have Creshes) and other Christmas decorations in Malls, Plus you conveniently ignore and even distract from the fact that this Mall is DELIBERATELY ~not~ putting up a Cresh like the others were~~ They’re the “grinches”, and I won’t let you change the nature of the “arguement” nor resort to “ad-hominim” attacks!! I won’t say the same thing about you since It is CHIRSTMAS, I wish you a MERRY CHRISTmas, and that you would come to know Him, but that’s up to you!!..

Its not hypocricy when I was merely boycotting those whom are trying to cut Christmas intentionally?? Could care less for the consumerism!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

So you are boycotting General Growth? I suppose you will be informing all of the tenant’s within the mall of your choice to help pressure GGP to decorate their malls the way you want them to?

I mean, they are just renting space from General Growth, they do not set the mall rules, and because they are tied into leases, they cannot break them. But then again, you are punishing them, now aren’t you. How giving of you.

How grench like it is for a major corporation around “Christmastime” to covet my money, but then exorcise the reason for the season out of the Holliday from their decorations/celebrations..it’s just absurd. This is a Christmas Holliday, not Halloween, Not Valentines, not St Patricks: CHRISTMAS! I do wish you well, and, sincerely a “Merry Christmas” though, even if you wish to continue this argument/insult me!

Its Broward County, so this doesn’t surprise me, although Catholics make up the largest religious group in the Pines now, I believe.

Don’t worry, we covet your money throughout the year. Not just the time of the year to celebrate Pagan holidays.

Christmas ain’t “Pagan”..but America has gotten away from the true meaning!

And Christmas is supposed to mark the Christ’s birthday, not a date that was set by pagans to match up with their festivals.
