On 13-Dec-2006, James A. Donald wrote: Mike Hunt The issue isn't that the Rabbi wanted the Christmas ornaments removed, but he wanted representation of his religion a this public facility. James A. Donald: Christmas is a universal celebration, No, it is not. The fact that some people have secularized it changes nothing. So you are worried that people might look at the Christmas tree and THINK of a manger? No, I am worried that you are throwing around non -sequiturs because you know you are wrong. I am also worried that you seem to have the idea that numbers are the only thing to consider when deciding what somehting is/not. Your insistence that "Christmas is now secular and erveyone must celebrate it or be considered a bigot [the upshot of your "only those with a grudge against it don;t celebrate it" post] " is not only insanely fascist and bigoted, but just not logical. That's like saying that "There are more people who believe in the phony Kabbalah cult in California than who practice the actual Kabbalah, and so now the phony cult will be considered Kabbalah, and anyone who says otherwise is a bigot." Just completely wrong. Sure sounds like war on Christmas. I'm sure it does, when that's what you're determined to see. Susan |

On 13-Dec-2006, " wrote: "James A. Donald" Christmas is a universal celebration, heavily celebrated by pagans such as Chinese and Japanese. It is intended to be universal. Christmas is a Christian holiday. And everyone I know who calls themselves Xian would be offended at any suggestuion otherwise. James A. Donald: Observe Singapore at Christmas time. Observe Riyadh at Christmas time. James A. Donald wrote: But you guys are trying to suppress even the secular aspects of Christmas - you were suing against the display of Christmas trees Who was suing against what display of Xmas trees? NO ONE. The ones in SEATAC? The remarks made by the posters in this thread demonstrate the truth of what I said. The remarks by a number of posters to these NGs demonstrate that they don't know their asses from their elbows. As does his. Your point? That anyone who doesn't tow the line is a bigot. Which is an incredibly bigoted thing to demand. Susan Deborah |

It would be less disgusting if they were just honest about it. Susan |

If someone is offended by Christmas Which was not what was going on here - thanks for changing the subject , you cannot accommodate him except by canceling Christmas, for if you accommodate him by making some particular changes, there is no end of people demanding additional particular changes. And if there is no legal leg to stand on, no one has to make any accomodations. If there's a legal leg to stad on, there's a reason for that. It is like negotiating with the Palestinians. You cut a deal with the PLO, and then they say "thanks, and now for the demands of Hamas: ..." If you begin, there is no end. Thanks for telling us just what you think of everyone who is not Xian.

But you guys are trying to suppress even the secular aspects of Christmas This is a lie: the rabbi just wanted equal time. It was the airport that nixed the trees. - you were suing This is a lie against the display of Christmas trees, not the display of stables and mangers. You are suing This is a lie. against the stuff that people see in Singapore Pretty fast on the trigger with "you guys." Just what guys do you mean? Guess. Susan |

Atheism is human concern, and intellectual honesty to a degree that the religious mind cannot begin to understand. And yet it is more than this. Atheism is not an old religion, it is not a new and coming religion, in fact it is not, and never has been, a religion at all.

"Sancho Panza" A noble sentiment, but far far far from anywhere near reality. James A. Donald: Observe Singapore at Christmas time.

But you guys are trying to suppress even the secular aspects of Christmas - you were suing against the display of Christmas trees, not the display of stables and mangers. You are suing against the stuff that people see in Singapore Nobody was 'sueing against the display of trees'. a rabbi threatened to sue if the airport did not also display symbols of his religion alongside the trees. The airport re-acted by removing the trees thus killing the whole suit stone dead, there were now no religous symbols for anyone to demand parity with. "James A. Donald" Christmas is universal, except among those nursing grievances against Christianity and Christians. Anyone who thinks this is the one nursing grievances. The remarks made by the posters in this thread demonstrate the truth of what I said. Saturnalia is universal..... christians just give it a different name..... -- ---------------------- We have the right to defend ourselves and our property, because of the kind of animals that we are.
