Please post all anti-Christmas conduct and hate on this thread.

It's starting:

A Texas Marine Reports More Early Skirmishing In 2009’s War Against Christmas

According to a recent report, the U.S. Forest Service has banned Jesus from among the 4,000 decorations being assembled by Arizona children to decorate an 85-foot blue spruce from the state that is scheduled to become the Capitol Christmas Tree.
Why can't non-Christians just let the Christians have their holiday in peace? Why do so many people have hate? Does anyone make demands of Jews on Yom Kippur? Muslims on Ramadan?

Memo to bigots: Let us celebrate our holiday. Christmas involves Jesus Christ by definition.

Celebrate all you want - in your home, in your private schools, in your churches - anyplace that is private property. Government-owned property is the wrong place for religious symbols.

If there is going to be a "Christmas" tree in the first place, to outlaw "Christ" from it is utterly retarded. Why is there a menorah lighting at the White House? That should have some christmas-reindeer or some snowflakes on it to be inclusive.

The US Forest Service did Jesus a favor. He isn't a decoration...have some respect.

Well, that's your opinion. I don't understand it, but that's okay. I stand by my belief that government property is not the place for religious symbols or prayers.

You don't understand that Christ is an integral part of Christmas? Do like the idea of banning the menorah from public property and the White House? yes or no?

Hanging from a tree next to glitter balls and snowmen? Jesus is now just another plastic do-dad mass produced in China.

This is why I can't take religion in the US seriously. Well that and the idea that a "war on christmas" actually exists.
