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?

I am leading by example.

The phrase "lead by example" implies a positive or good 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?

Negative, I am saying that, as a Christian, I am tasked with not allowing my
religion to be secularized, liberalized and *******ized by accepting the
language the anti-religious or non-religious use to usurp and marginalize my
religion.

Ah, so your faith is so weak that it's value is based on what others
say & do.

Merry Christmas to you and all your sock puppets.

My ass! I wasn't even involved in the thread at that time. One of my many
email supporters brought it to my attention.
