christmas is a happy time and people who believe should say merry christmas to everybody.
if you don't believe, answer back happy hanukkah, or whatever your greeting is.
it would be great to see tolerance on the rise in america for a change.
If there was true tolerance "Merry Christmas" would be said as often as it ever was and no one would bat an eye. It's the anti-Merry Christmas forces that started this battle to begin with.

That's what my point is.
Today at work, when I greeted customers "have a nice Christmas Holiday", I was told by my manager to not use the word "Christmas" as it may offend someone. My reaction was
20 min after, a Jewish employee (according to her converted to christianity later in life, but her mom is Jewish) came in and heard me say "have a nice Christmas", she freaked out and came directly to be with red face and told me that you cannot say Christmas, use only holidays because they may be Jewish and get offended.
And as predicted, you failed to read my post carefully or understand my point... and yes, I do hope you lose your power, since you've proven it can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Thanks to you, for the next few weeks, I will only greet my library patrons with "Happy Holidays" just to make a point - and there's not a darned thing you can do about it, LOL.
"Jews for Jesus" is just an offshoot of Christianity, and VERY FEW born Jews have converted to that sect. So you can dream all you want, but those of us with Jewish blood will always be Jewish. I won't accept your Jesus, and neither will anyone with whom I associate. The Orthodox community is actually growing in my area, and I work with them every day at the library. Oh, but they're just "silly" with those Stars around their neck, despite the fact that they identify as Orthodox & mostly speak fluent Hebrew. Right?
Chag Sameach!!
Greet whatever you want. I know you are anti-Christmas and nothing I could stop you from doing it.
I will continue greeting all Orthodox Jews for Merry Christmas.
Messianic Jews are JEWS who believe Jesus Christ as the messiah. They don't celebrate any Christian holidays, but they celebrate Jewish holidays, circumcision their boys, follow Jewish tradition, read Torah, etc.
Of course many Jews are mad for it, and many messianic Jews have been bashes and persecuted in Israel.
Actually most religious Jews do not wear Star of David necklace, it's usually the secular, zionists. However it's easy to tell Orthodox Jews on the streets by their funny and silly clothes and style. sorry LOL it makes me laugh when I think about it now.
I don't care if you don't believe in Christ. You will be judged when you die, and I feel bad for you.
Wrong!
I have, and occasionally wear a cross that was my great grandmothers. I wear it because it's a family heirloom, and it's a beautiful piece of jewelry.
Yep... she flips back & forth between her hatred for Jews (or as she calls us, "Zionists") vs Atheists, but I think we're both on her naughty list. Oh well, I guess I'm getting coal this year!
I don't hate anyone, and stop telling people I hate Jews and atheists.
I praised some Jews on my threads, such as Ben Stein and Michael Bloomberg.
Tons of non-Christians wear crosses... and don't call somebody a liar without proof.
