1. If you really want to have fun with the fundies on christmas wish em a

happy birthday. Honestly they either get a puzzled look on thier faces or get pissed.

2. LOL

There's a fundie freak at work who's all enraged because Wal-Mart told its employees to greet customers with "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas." I responded, "It's the one mildly progressive thing Wal-Mart has done. Celebrate it." She looked she was ready to pull a gun on me.

:nopity:

9. They really are hung up on this Christmas thing, aren't they?

Evidently they come back from Wal-Mart and tell the kids, "Sorry kids, no presents this year, no tree, no lights. You see, the guy at Wal-Mart said 'Happy holidays', so it looks like Santa is going to skip us this year. Maybe next year we can make them say 'Merry Christmas' at the Wal-Mart and Santa will come back."

Every commentator on Fox has started railing at every opportunity about this made-up injustice, like we don't have enough real injustice to worry about. One theory is that it's all an attempt to pimp the silly new "they stole Christmas" book by Fox hairhead John Gibson.

12. Lol the tragic thing the righties are the ones causing this fuss

If they would shut up for the other twelve months of the year I am sure there would be less tension centered around christmas.
Side note I use happy holidays because I try to be polite at all times and merry christmas with people I know who celebrate it.

10. What would Jesus say?

I think he would say Happy Holidays because, as I remember it, his parable about the Good Samaritan showed his respect for people of other religions.

8. Try Happy Yuletide or Merry Solstice! That's really what is.

Jesus was born in the spring, either March or April. Christmas actually is based on a Pagan holiday, Yule, which occurs at the winter solstice (around Dec 25th).

Holly wreaths, mistletoe, gift giving, yule logs, and even the Christmas tree were all part of the Yule celebrations.

Even Easter comes from Ostara, the Pagan spring celebration of the rebirth of life. The Easter bunny and Easter eggs are both Pagan symbols.

Explain this to some Fundies and watch their heads explode!

3. I also wish Monkey Man good luck on his resurrection

because they jumped the shark on November 18 when they attacked Murtha.

5. was he the poem reader?

did you hear that stupid ass poem? :puke:

[babylonsister]

6. That was bizarro; that guy identified himself as an independent.

And no, the guy who said 'Happy Easter' was a previous caller.:)

[XanaDUer]

7. Do you remember what the poem said?

Freeper poetry! :)
