I am Catholic and I do attend.

I don't see how this involves rapists and murderers, but ok...

I am just saying that using the term "holiday" and mixing it with Christmas doesn't set me off. If it does someone else, fine don't shop there.

But I just don't get it. What does set me off so to speak is what I see as an over emphasis on Halloween. And Easter, I can't remember the last time I saw an Easter sign that was in any way religious.

How about Valentine's Day? What happened to the Saint in Saint Valentine's Day? Someone stole our Saint's Day to create a sex romp. Those I get worked up over. In comparison Happy Holiday's looks small to me.

One of my favorite Christmas time movies is Holiday Inn. "Happy Holiday" is a song sung in the movie. Just thought I'd throw that in on this thread for kicks and grins.

Its the slippery slope theory. This isnt news to you right? Liberals are infamous for taking bits and pieces of your freedoms and liberities over time so it doesnt seem like your losing anything. We've gone from a country which protected innocent life to one that openly advocates murder of children and sex with children. We used to pride ourselves in protecting the family and now we serve to destroy it. The battle lines are drawn - we can not give to the libs anymore - there childish ways and racist tantrums are ignored and we need to wake up act like 'men' and fight for the principles the this country was founded on - most notably that this is a Christian nation. We are founded on Christian/Judeo laws and beliefs - its not just about the term Christmas but the meaning behind replacing it with a secular term like holiday. Think about it

I suppose you love the child rapist and murderer huh?

The above remark was addressed to you and not BY you but since I do not communicate with the person who made the remark I will tell you.

It's exactly what Jesus preached. To love the sinner and hate the sin.

Realizing that not everybody on this forum is Christian that other religions may not believe that way. I choose to try to.

It's called incrementalism. They took the religiousity out of those holidays and are now going after Christmas. Christians are banding together and saying "enough". You will not take away one of my most precious traditions. If you cannot have the decency to respect 85% of this country's beliefs, then I will give my business to someone who does.
