Why can't we just leave things as they were? Forget Political Correctness. My world is changing too drastically in my lifetime, please slow down!

It's not a real holiday anyway... It's as real as any other.

So, when do we go out and hit heathens and heretics with socks filled with nickels, y'know just for fun? Part of the holiday spirit, right? Isn't that what you're representing?

"specifically separation of church/state" Where, exactly, in the US Constitution, is such a "separation" outlined?

"We are in a stable relationship that has lasted longer than any hetero one that I know of." You must know few hetero couples...

What are you afraid of when it comes to God, Jesus Christ, etc? Talking about phobia's. You think that people are homophobe's or are filled with hate if they are normal and straight, yet anything to do with God or the church freaks you out. Is it that 'out of sight out of mind' thing or something like that. Afraid if you hear it too much it'll turn or straight or convert you involuntarily from your current view's? Kind of like a real homophobe thinking that his or her child will become gay if they see it or meet gays in school or in everyday life. I'm still waiting for you neo-liberal extremist quack's to boycott the "In God We Trust" American dollar.

"Also, no mention of Kwaanza to be found" It's not a real holiday anyway...

"All the floats were decked out in Christmas decorations. Santa brings up the parade caboose." What, exactly, do twinkling lights and a fat bearded guy in a red suit have to do with the birth of the baby Jesus? Because, you know, that is why CHRISTmas is a holiday to begin with...

I would insert Episcopalians as a buffer between Lutherans and Catholics

Lutherans consume sarcasm and excrete sincerity, or maybe it's the other way around

Each year, the Christoids and the radical secular humanists turn up the pressure on the xmas holiday -- each to suit their own propaganda purposes. I just wish everyone would shut up and accept it for what it is: a gigantic secular celebration of the One True Religion: shopping on maxed-out credit cards. SUGGESTIONS: Leave the public nativity displays, but put the baby Santa in the manger. Sell corporate sponsorships for the Big Guiding Star (Texaco, maybe?), the Inn (Motel 6?), swaddling clothes (Pampers?), the donkeys and lambs (local Zoo?), Joseph's outfit courtesy of Brooks Bros, Mary's underwear courtesy of Victoria's Secret -- (etc etc.) It could work.

I'm guessing Ski does too, since he put "amorality" in quotes. BTW, my daughter came home with a reminder today about next week's "Christmas party" at school. I think I'm going to threaten to sue if they don't change it to "Holiday party." Just to piss Andy off.

because just as some people feel they are attacked by Christians imposing their values, many Christians feel threatened by the "amorality" that is becoming more prevalent in public I can see that some people can feel that way, but can you see a difference? In the first case, values are imposed, in the second case, no one is imposing values but rather living to each his own, which might be a visual affront to some but is not forcing them to live by any value system other than their own. Maybe I'm not wording it the best way but I see a distinct difference.

So fair, so balanced, so Ski.
