Everyone(Generally) celebrates holidays, but not everyone celebrates Christmas and it's ignorant not to mention arrogant to push Christmas and other holidays on people who don't celebrate them
It doesn't push Christmas on anyone; it just wishes us a merry Christmas. If you don't celebrate Christmas, congrats. That doesn't mean you need to take offense to people celebrating it.Everyone(Generally) celebrates holidays, but not everyone celebrates Christmas and it's ignorant not to mention arrogant to push Christmas and other holidays on people who don't celebrate them

Ditto.I could care less what our banner is.
:like:I don't take offence to it. I celebrate it. But I don't think that leaning towards one religion is in the best interest of the region.
Because most young people have been taught that anything in any way related to Christianity should be whispered about in the privacy of your own home.Okay but for the third time...why can't we include more cultures? I don't see why anyone would be offended...we can all celebrate our traditions and accept greetings from all backgrounds. Why so we have to censor and water down the individual holidays?
When in the last two millennia has Christianity been excluded from prominence anywhere in the West? The only religion, the only "culture" with any exposure here already is Christianity.Okay but for the third time...why can't we include more cultures?

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN PROPOSING!We're not doing that though. We're celebrating Christianity's Christmas and nothing else. If we had something that showed a different banner whenever you refreshed that'd be different, but we don't and as such it should be something that is religiously neutral.
What I'm suggesting is we put up banners for Hanukkah, Divali and all that too to balance it out (when the time comes) - we don't need to censor religion, we can just balance it through the year by celebrating different cultural holidays and not making them all neutral.THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN PROPOSING!We're not doing that though.

That sounds like work (for you, but work nonetheless). I'm not opposed to the idea, but wouldn't a simply Happy Holidays with a seasonal theme rather than a religious one be an easier way to sate the masses than changing the banner every few weeks?What I'm suggesting is we put up banners for Hanukkah, Divali and all that too to balance it out (when the time comes) - we don't need to censor religion, we can just balance it through the year by celebrating different cultural holidays and not making them all neutral.THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN PROPOSING!We're not doing that though.

This list should help. Oh and don't forget Festivus. You have to have one banner with a Festivus Pole! ^_^I don't know what other holidays are going on right now, but at least that'd be fucking accurate.
