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'.

Do you think the non-believers would ever accept and say those greetings? 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. 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. 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, IMO. Non believers prefer 'merry' because it makes the
Christ out to be some kind of clown.

Then you'd be speaking of the ****ing HYPOCRITE liberals who "enjoy"
Christmas but never mention Easter. These people are, IN FACT, simply
****ing two faced lip-servers and unworthy of notice save an
occasional admonishment. Your blanket statement that you "HATE" the
expression "Merry Christmas" is just a bit more that two and a half
miles over the top of reason and civility. (which excludes liberals,
of course) I never knew a Christian of any creed that would not
express "Merry Christmas" to me with the deepest and most honest
intent. The same expression from asshole liberals who use the date as
an excuse to party is not the same thing at all... its simply four-
flushing at its most pernicious style and not worthy of complete
hatred for the
expression..
