#1. you , without ever meeting me let alone knowing me, have attempted to pronounce how I live my faith... You are Ignornant and Arrogant ..
#2. Reading from a bunch of websites that screw turn flip and twist the facts until they become what you desire , is NOT studying...Its just reading...
All the rest of your post is just jibbberish .. I dont care that no one painted the last supper as it must have been... with NO CHAIRS NO BENCHES ... everyone reclining on pillows of sorts, if they even had those..
I dont care why we worship on the last day of the week or is it the first that hahahaha..Which day we celebrate the birth of CHrist on is unimportant as well. My relationship is a personal one with Christ.. if you lack that and have all other knowledge known to man you failed.. and you have failed..

Macgregorsailor51 is not Christian and does not follow the teachings of Christ. This is evident in his posts. I am not certain such a relationship is one to be proud of.
Maybe, he is just angry at his life and taking it out on people. When people say "Merry Christmas" to someone, they do it out of kindness. I would be confident saying that most people of all religious backgrounds appreciate the feelings behind the greeting when they hear "Merry Christmas" during the holidays and I doubt they would do what this man did. He has other stuff going on in his life. It's like people, who are having a bad day, jumping all over retail store clerks because they are an easy target.
I don't see the point about getting one's panties in a bunch over whatever holiday wishes, but I did feel a little weirded out the other day when I was driving across the country to be with family for the holidays. It was the first or second day of Hanukkah, and I stopped into a Cracker Barrel at breakfast time. I was wished Merry Christmas multiple times by the staff.
What weirded me out about it was that it WASN'T actually Christmas (which was still roughly a week away), but it WAS a cherished holiday for many of the people who are dear to me. Also what REALLY weirded me out was that it seemed to be some sort of company-mandated greeting given the regularity with which people were telling me to have a Merry Christmas. Ew. When it's scripted, it's creepy, in my opinion. Though I was in Indiana at the time, and I suspect the demographics there are not the melting pot I grew up with.
I bit my tongue and did not wish them a happy Hanukkah, although amusingly, my not-Jewish father (nominally Methodist; I'm atheist) wished me a happy Hanukkah a few days later in the name of accuracy.

Why? I would see absolutely nothing inappropriate about that. And multiple greetings of "Merry Christmas" are pretty standard in the days leading up to the holiday. I think it's odd that you would be "weirded out".
Only thing sillier than getting bent over seasonal greeting options is the whole toilet paper argument.
GregW, are gifts involved in a fun Saturnalia? If so, I want in!

Well, I'm not Jewish anyway, and I'd just have caused people working for low pay to be uncomfortable for no good reason over what seemed like a company policy, like they'd offended me or I was correcting them or something.
It weirded me out because it was almost obsessive how each individual was repeatedly wishing me Merry Christmas. It was very Stepford wife-ish. What I suspected - having worked a retail job for a while - was that they were worried about being "shopped" by a mystery shopper (diner?) and were therefore just sticking "Merry Christmas" into every customer interaction just in case.
Sad that folks cant say Merry Christmas. What is the big deal. Kinda like saying Happy George Washington's Birthday.
My neighborhood growing up was mainly Jewish. Both Jews and Christians both believe Jesus was an actual person. As an actual person surprise he was born. Hence he has a birthday. Wow!!!
Anyhow my Jewish friends believe he was a nice Jewish boy who went into his fathers business but dont believe he is the son of God. The Christians believe he is a nice Jewish boy who went into his fathers business who happens to be the son of Christ.
