Ahh, the most wonderful time of the year!



Why don't we all just follow this chart from now on? I've been politely responding with a "you too" (when people wish me a Merry Christmas, even though I'm Jewish) my entire life, and don't find it all that complicated. Is it really too difficult for Christians?

Brava!!!

A little sanity in this silly season:

I'm not Christian and I don't care about the Bible.

Okay... then why did you correct them for writing G-d? One would think if you aren't a Christian, and don't care about the Bible, that wouldn't have bothered you. Just being a smarta$$, I guess?

For the record, I never said you were a Christian - I was only letting you know that "rule" (regarding not writing the Lord's name in full) is in the Torah.
