Take off from work on Christian holidays? Totally serious question... [/quote] You call it Christmas... We call it "winter solstice." [/quote] Yes. I celebrate halloween also - not because I feel evil spirits need chasing, but in observation of the tradition. One need not believe in the basis of something to celebrate it. Hipocracy isn't a problem unless you want to stand on a soapbox. [/quote] Well it does seem hypocritical...you proclaim your lack of belief in God, but celebrate a proclaimed religious holiday? Doesnt make sense, why celebrate it based on a Christian tradition you dont believe in? [/quote] A holiday isn't necessarily religious. Like I celebrate Veterans Day but never served, or Memorial Day but haven't lost a family member. Breast cancer month but no breasts. you get the idea. There is a form and function, and they need not interrelate. [/quote] I disagree. Christmas is a christian holiday. Veterans day is a day to honor veterans, a group we hold in a very high honor (or should anyway), ect. I think your comparison doesnt really hold well. Im not jewish, so i dont celebrate Hanukka.
