That was a nice try twisting my words. Where did I suggest it was. I am giving you the orgin of the word Christmas.
So...to you, the word Christ is important, but not the word Mass....selectiveness on your part....I got it alright.
Again, you are trying to twist my words. What is selective about noting that until recently, it was called the CHRISTMAS parade?
It seems YOU are the one being selective to forget that.
That was in the article in the op. Nothing selective about it.
It is you that is trying to contrue something not said in order to deflect away from the central issue.
That iyou don't want to discuss the actual issue is noted. On that you lose.
Hmmm...Labor Day is a Holy Day? Memorial Day is a Holy Day? 4th of July is a Holy Day?
Where did I say that? Again you are trying to deflect. I said the ORIGIN of holiday IS HOLY DAY.
Etymology (Meaning of Words): Word meaning, lindisfarne gospels, word holiday
Answers.com - What is the origin of the word 'holiday'
Holiday - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
If you don't like that, that's just too damn bad. That doesn't change it's origins.
And being THAT IS the origin of the word I find it funny that the religion haters try to replace Christmas with holiday given it's origins.
In a war using semantics, it's pretty obvious the ignorance of this little fact makes fools of the "inclusive" one.
As I have said....you hate inclusive terms.....you just want exclusive terms...
What is inclusive about EXCLUDING THE NAME CHRISTMAS?
I mean how dumb are you liberals that you don't get that?
Would it be "inclusive" if all Jews should only use the word holiday or muslims? Do you think they would agree to that?
But to be "inclusive" the word Christmas must be EXCLUDED??????????
A perfect example of the illogic of liberalism.
It shows perfectly how liberals try to hide behind words as a cover for their real agenda, which isn't to be inclusive but to EXCLUDE from society anything that they find threatening to their agenda.
Truly, Christianity, as liberals make it clear by their constant rantings about the "religious right," is one of their greatest enemies.
As for the rest of your nonsense, I am just going to delete it. It's the same childish nonsense trying to deflect away from the central issue.
Why don't we just admit that the real faction against calling it a Christmas parade are the atheist/secular humanists who are bitter over the fact they haven't not wiped out Christianity.
The secular humanists have predicted the destruction of Christianity since the NY Times declared God dead and John Lennon declared "Christianity will go, I will be proven right. The Beatles are now more popular than Jesus Christ."
Or the two authors I encountered in 1994 who declared Christianity would not survive until the new millenium.
Oh yes, "if Christianity survives another five years, it will be far different than it is now."
I laughed at them, and made a bet they would both be proved dead wrong.
I came back in 2000 to remind them they had lost.
If we ARE to be INCLUSIVE in our culture how do we EXCLUDE the name Christmas, which is one of the most IMPORTANT HOLY DAYS in our religion.
Indeed, how can a culture be anything but a sterile construct when a majority of our population are people of faith, yet are told they cannot add to the culture with that faith?
What is "inclusive' about the sterility of "holiday?"
You still don't get it, Oh Wise One!
