Way Off Coarse
Hello all...
Well the holidays are upon us and again the CNNs and NBCs are talking about the Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday thing. Personally it wouldn't make a difference to me if some one greeted me Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah. I think that people just want to say something around this time of the year rather then good morning! You may know that most Wal-Mart (another time I will rip a new ass-hole for Wal-Mart) greeters are required to wish shoppers Merry Christmas. Now I don't know how to feel about this. Our country was founded under God and for very long time most of America worshiped God but this could be unconstitutional because no where in it does it say that people will be subject to any religion. Now I'm not saying that we should only say good morning do to the fact that Happy Holidays means holy days but we need to think of it like your rights end where mine or anyones begins. Now I do get tired of Happy Holidays when I get cards because I am a proud church goer and I like to be wished a Merry Christmas. But this is a free country so in that manner no one will be subject to any religion or belief.
I would like for some insight from anyone who reads this even if you are an asshat or don't have an account.

well, I'm totally not here to tell you what to think, darlin'.
however - you may well find it informative to examine the life and ideas of Thomas Jefferson, and how he felt about God and government.
You may also be interested to know that the inspiration for the idea of separation of Church and State on a national level arose from a dispute at a Connecticut church.
find out about the origins of that idea, and that will inform your decision about how to feel about the whole Generic American Holiday Greeting issue.
