Why is Christmas no longer allowed to be Christmas?

Don't worry. Our President elect will change all this once he takes office.

Next year, every American will be required to celebrate Christmas. And anyone who doesn't will be deported.

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?

There is a very simple reason for that;

We are the majority

Hi 679, please open a book and read about your own government. I would even encourage that you take a class. You will then quickly learn on why the majority is not always right. Which is why we have the constitution.

I'm not allowed out of the basement on xmas morning anymore.

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?

Why are you so stupid?

What are you doing this year to commemorate Eid al-Adha? What about Yom Kippur? Diwali? Ramadan? Nothing? Shouldn't they all be stat holidays and turned into a day that is non-religious and enjoyed by all and nobody can speak publically about it being associated with any one religion? Or is it just Christmas that gets to become a bas-tardized non-religious event for everyone while Christians can't publically say religious things about that day even though it's actually religious holiday and began that way?

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.

If we were truly a Christian nation the number would be 100%. Have you even read the constitution bro?

Christians are free to say religious things about Christmas. So are non-Christians.

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.

I don't know where you went to school but I went to a private school and took a required class that taught us about EVERY religion. I like my freedom just fine as well. I also like my freedom to express my religion in public. Thanks 1st Amendment!

Merry Christmas

Why do republicans care so much about some amendments but not at all for others? They care about keeping guns and their freedom of speech but have no passion towards keeping religion and government separated?

Democrats support only Article I-VII of the Constitution. Mr. Trump supports Article XII. It's obvious who has more respect for the Constitution.

Not arguing one way or the other, but I need to point out a common misconception: "Separation of Church and State" is not part of the language of the First Amendment. The actual language has come to mean something in addition to its original intent, for better or worse.

Because heathens insist on celebrating Christmas

...fair point, and a better one than most of the pro-poster folks on this thread.

Not really.

1) Days off of work around "holidays" are generally declared either a) when the declarer (in this case the government) wishes to make a point (Veteran's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,...) or b) when the declarer believes that too many people will take off of work anyway so it becomes more efficient to just shut the whole thing down.

2) Christians and non-Christians are free to say religious things about Christmas or any other holiday.

3) It is very weird to see Christians being so up in arms that they get time off during their special holiday season while other groups are left to fend for themselves.

So, no, not really much of a fair point at all.

Trump is going to make America great again by bringing back Christmas.

Two Corinthians. This guy isn't religious. He's just playing all the religious people for gullible chumps.

Christmas was Christianity's way of recruiting pagans to their religion. Same as Easter. Both combine a pagan seasonal festival with an important religious event. Jesus wasn't born in December.
