Keep your sticky fingers off our Yule. We (humans) were celebrating the
Winter Solstice thousands of years before you traduced the teachings of
Bar Yussuf.

Might be the last one this time though. We can't find any virgins in the
village this year, so the sun might never come back...

What a fun reply! Thanks.

We aren't sure when Christ was born, but we celebrate in on December

I wish the people who still believe that Christ was born (whenever
it was) would revolt against the people trying to take it away from
us.

Tricia

Once again, don't be such a dumbass. No one is trying to take
christmas away from anyone.

Indeed. Mostly we would be happy if the Christians would agree to "you
celibrate the holiday your way, and let us celibrate it our way" phylosophy.

I choose to see language like winter break and happy holidays
as a positive effort to include all religions and non-religions
[and rec.travel.cruises].

An object creates the meaning of a word. Changing the word does
not change the object.

You can't include everybody. You shouldn't even try.

Yes, you can. That is the whole point.

Traduce? Is that like promulgate?

More like calumniate. Or vilipend.
