Went to Target to get a birthday card today...

I'm not even religious but this politically correct "seasons greetings" shit is really pissing me off

It's a god damned Christian holiday...

It should be honored as such

What? You don't want your kids to celebrate the birth of a man that lived over 2000 years ago, who's image was molded by bored desert dwellers and remolded hundreds of years later by men rewriting a book to form a new world-wide feel-good cult that massacred millions of people? But.. but.. he died for you and I mean it's not as if plenty of people don't die for you daily while they're off fighting a group of corporations bullshit war.

Btw.. if you don't believe in him you will burn in an eternal lake of fire. He loves you. Celebrate the man-gods birthday. He was born in a stable, do you know how shitty stables are?

They had their Christmas cards up.

NOT ONE SHOWED JESUS, MARY, JOSEPH, THE WISE MEN, A NATIVITY, A STAR OF BETHLEHEM.

THERE WERE NO RELIGIOUS CARDS WHATSOEVER EITHER.

Atheism at its best.

You fuckers praise capitalism to the degree that you want to profit from a religion? Then lets spread out that demographic and call it 'the holidays'. You know what we call it "christmas" at work? Peak. That's pure capitalism which you claim to live by.

All the while you despise any hint of socialism.

Again, missing the bigger picture.

The big picture is they will make more money on "holiday" cards because that applies to every sect. Imagine target having a rotating display of every religious sect with holidays.

I'm really getting sick of this shit!

LOL. That was awesome. God bless. You made my night.

I am goi.g to consider this the ANNUAL War On Christmas thread. I participated as usual.

I missed the annual VICIOUS --lol --halloween thread that I have personally kept going for at least 100 + terrible pages (slight exageration ).

I'm really getting sick of this shit!

wtf?

Target has an overall oppressive atmosphere imo. You can almost hear the people watching the cameras musing about whether or not you have your papers.

That number is dropping fast, though. That's not a judgement - only a fact.

That is a load of horse shit Metro. The holiday was around long before big box stores. Regardless of the reason the 25th was chosen it still means something to a lot of people. I am not a Christian but I dare not infringe upon the right they have to celebrate it. Sure there is a large consumer component these days but doesn't? Everything especially in the USA has been monetized to some degree. Unfortunately this is the world we live in. You could always use the same argument about Birthdays or Thanksgiving but these don't have a religious component which is the real issue for the people and groups who try to diminish it. You fuckers always hide your true motives when it suits you. Instead of saying I am a liberal atheist and I hate your religion, you use the "its evil capitalism Mannnnnn"!! BS argument. Point is its tradition and culture. I never spend thousands of dollars on Christmas what we (my family) focus on is the fact it puts us all in one home and we eat, drink, and laugh. That's the important part its also part of the Christian values that are associated with it(besides Jesus). Obviously by removing Christian Symbols from the holiday its to remove the religion as well. No matter how you try and spin that shit.

Oh, please. If you were a real Christian you wouldn't celebrate such a materialistic holiday anyway.

I was not saying it has always been monetized. I am saying it is these days, especially since they have taken out the "religion" aspect. My point was that it was not even a Christian holiday to begin with. Everything is a Pagan rituals. Yeah people celebrate it religiously, but its false. Jesus was not born in December. And you are right about thanksgiving. All holidays are for money now.

Christians try to be thankful to God for every breath they take. Thanksgiving is special , it is like GRATEFULNESS ON STEROIDS. A day to reflect on everything God has done and to show that you ate grateful.

Here's a great Thanksgiving song to sing with your family on Thanksgiving.
