I hate "merry" Christmas.

Keep your religion to yourself (as instructed to do in your bible) and no
one will bother you. Real simple.
As usual you know nothing, Pandora. And, you appear to know even less about
the Bible.
As Christians, the Bible says to NOT to keep Christianity to ourselves.
Rather, the Bible teaches us to spread our religion throughout the world.
Matthew 28:18 - And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew 28:19 -Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:20 - Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.
Jesus was speaking to his disciples, not to all men. See Matthew
28:16-17 where it makes it clear he was only speaking to the eleven
disciples.
In Matthew 6:5-8, when speaking to the multitude he tells them to pray
in secret, not out in public as the hypocrites do.
Further, in Matthew 7:21-23 he makes it clear that doing things in his
name, even prophesying and casting out demons, is not enough to gain
entry into heaven.
Mark 16:15 - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:16 - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.
In Mark 16:14 he makes it clear he is only talking to the disciples;
also Mark 3:14.
It is plain as day that Christians are tasked to spread the Gospel.
Then why, in Matthew 9:30 does Jesus instruct the blind men not to tell
anyone he healed them?
