oh, **** you, Gregory! The expression is old as dirt! In other parts
of the world "merry" is substituted by the word "happy". The meaning
is the same for Christians. why would they *not* be merry or happy
that the savior was born? huh?



You missed the point. "Merry Christmas" is the preferred, non-believer,
politically correct greeting that marginalizes the true purpose of Christmas
which is celebrating the birth of the Christ. How about 'Joyous Christmas'
or better yet. 'Holy Christmas'.

That sounds like a dine idea and I hope you enjoy your push to put the
christian back into christianity. You plan to lead by example?

Do you think the non-believers would ever accept and say those greetings?

Why are you so interested in controlling what other people are doing
and saying?


NO
they wouldn't because that would not further their non-believer agenda which
agenda substitutes gluttony and human-centric activities for a devout
expression of love and appreciation of God's ultimate sacrifice.

No conservative screed is comlete without a conspiracy claim.

We
celebrate the birth of the Christ because we know of His true purpose which
was to die on the cross so our sins might be forgiven.

Who voted you humanity's spokesperson?

The birth of the
Christ is a wondrous thing only in the knowing about the death and
resurrection of the Christ. There is NOTHING merry about the birth, life and
death of the Christ,

According to your mythology

IMO. Non believers prefer 'merry' because it makes the
Christ out to be some kind of clown.

And the obvious solution is to appoint a control freak such as
yourself as head of the thought police.

I am curious, do you really gather periodically with your fellow
believers and perform ritual cannibalism to reaffirm your faith?

Greg sounds like one pathetic *******.

He's kind of like the old, bitter barfly who shouts drunken slurs at
everyone in the place: you feel sort of sorry for the mess he's made of
his life, but at the same time he's so arrogant that he inspires gales
of mocking laughter in nearly everyone who sees him.
