Why is Christmas no longer allowed to be Christmas?

It's because liberals will have their feelings hurt... Why else?

Christmas has been "evolved" for quite some times. It's already been allowed to be something far from a religious holiday for decades. There's essentially two Christmases - the secular - decorations, presents, trees, sales, consumerism, etc., and the religious. Many people celebrate a combination of the two; some celebrate only the secular; some celebrate only the religious. It's "birth of Christ" underpinnings notwithstanding, I don't know many people who expect Christmas to stay solely in the religious sphere - even those who are very religious.

Actually, other religions are under the same restrictions. The real questions are why do Christians think that their holiday is more important than others and thus it should be treated specially?

Because all the other religions are fake....duh

Did Jesus Christ have Black Friday and Boxing Day? Did he also have an obese Santa with magical powers and elves that would be considered more Satanic than Harry Potter?

What other religion's holiday(s) is(are) being changed from a religious holiday into a non-secular event that is inclusive for everyone?

I'd love some *Christians* to read up a bit about Christ and what he said about the poor, the rich, your enemies, the outcast, prisoners, sinners, foreigners etcetc.

I'm a Christian, but I support this statement 100 percent. The fact is, our country has changed over the last couple of generations and we have to change with it. When I was in grade school 35 years ago everyone my class came from Christian families so we celebrated Christmas at school. Now that isn't the case, especially in big cities. Kids come from everywhere now, and not everyone celebrates Christmas, so there has become a need to adapt.

My oldest son goes to a Catholic university whose student body is actually about 15 percent Muslim. It's a good school with a good medical program so kids want to go there. I support it and I'm glad my kid goes there so he can learn how to work with people from all different walks of life. The university lets kids of all faiths celebrate their own faiths the way they want to, and that's the way it should be.

This whole "War on Christmas" is BS. Because in the end, how has it changed YOUR Christmas celebrations? Mine haven't changed, I still get together with my family, we still exchange gifts, I go to Mass and eat a lot of food. I just don't get this whole butthurt attitude about cashiers saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" and all of the other things that people get their panties in a wad about.

Christmas is still Christmas in my house, so to me the rest of it outside my house is no big deal. We aren't a Christian nation, and so it's about time we get with the program and we start acting like it.

Since you brought politics into it. It's because republicans are dumb fücks who believe a vigrin can birth a child who can walk on water and has skills to multiply bread like David Blaine.

A more-important question is, "why does anyone of any religion feel the need to display that in the workplace?" Want to celebrate a religious tradition? Then do it at your place of worship or in your home.

Ok, let's put up posters with Muslim-related content in every public school in Texas during Ramadan and then spend time talking about fasting during Ramadan in the same public schools.

No problem, right?

Religion is not welcome in public infrastructure for a reason. Separation of church and State contributes to the stability of a nation.

You practice and celebrate your religion on your time. I mean that. Send your kids to private schools with religious posters on the wall. That's fine.

Don't regulate my personal life. I like my freedom just fine.

You must be very highly educated since you know that none of this could ever happen. Congratulations, oh enlightened one!

+1.

About 10 of the 11 apostles not named "Judas Iscariot" went to their executions testifying marvelous things about Jesus of Nazareth, thaumaturge. They believed Jesus was special - a miracle worker - and they perhaps could have saved themselves by changing their testimony. I'm unaware of any evidence that they did so.

Why only Christmas? wrote:

Why? Why just Christmas? I don't get it - if any other religion wants to celebrate their religious holidays, nobody is going to stop them or argue that their holidays must be inclusive. You don't see Christians trying to make Ramadan something that has include all religions? Christmas is a religious holiday celebrated by Christians to be the birth of Jesus Christ. What else is Christmas? Why does only Christmas need to "evolve" to be inclusive? And more than inclusive, the actual Christian origin must be removed and note referenced? Why?

Christmas can be Christmas it just can not happen on government property or be funded by the government.

You guys are well informed... For liberals that is. 80+ percent of this nations citizens identify themselves as Christians. Just because you've insulated yourself, doesn't mean we're not a Christian nation.

Then shouldn't Christmas holiday's just be cancelled? Create a few new non-secular statutory holidays to replace it, maybe in January. Then if someone wants to celebrate Christmas because they are Christian, they can take a vacation day, rather than turning a religious holiday into some weird shopping carnival.
