Since we're getting closer to "that time of the year", I was wondering if there were CTers who believe in any kind of christmas Conspiracy (if those even exist)?

It's getting hard out there for True Christians™. Along with their comrades in arms Real Americans™ the consumerist frenzy of the shopping season of Christmas (just as Jesus would have liked it) has become a real struggle. I mean just where can they shop? Linda Harvey of Mission America, who...

Texas Gov. Rick Perry: Americans have no right to freedom from religion It must be awfully damn hard to be a Christian in today's America. I salute the proud and courageous Texas governor for sticking to his principles and standing up for freedom OF religion. I'm curious though, since atheists...

A relative of mine has someone visiting from Canada. While we were having dinner together one night, the Canadian visitor said that it is now illegal to say "Merry Christmas" in Canada - that protests by members of non-Christian religions and of other cultural groups had resulted in banning the...

Over in the politics forum they're discussing Rick Perry's contention that Obama has declared "War on Christmas". That's a political thing. I'm interested in what people (especially theists) think about what is happening to the Christmas celebration. Christmas hasn't changed much since my...

Rick Perry's motto must be, "When you reach rock bottom, start blasting with dynamite". His latest stupidity? Obama is waging a "War on religion". His evidence? Gays can serve openly in the military. Kids can't pray in school. I'm guessing that as president, he would overrule the...

I wait tables and bartend to pay for school. Around this time of year I usually bid my patrons 'Happy Holidays'. But apparently by doing so, I offend the pious Jesus followers so much that they feel compelled to call me an *******...

Alright fellow infidels, what can we do this year to make war on Christmas and generally be Scroogy and Grinchy? If you need some inspiriation, Fox Nation has a webpage dedicated to the War on Christmas. I'm sure you can find some great ideas there! For example, you could follow the lead of...

Whenever I read threads on the war on christmas and how atheists shouldn't be celebrating christmas I feel extra lucky about being Norwegian (even though my reasons apply to other Scandinavians and possibly Finns, and Icelanders and...). For one thing we still use the name of the old...

Today I received two forwarded emails from friends about this "war on christmas" issue. The two emails and then my reply are below. I haven't sent my reply to my friends yet. Please feel free to make suggestions. --------------------------- (first email) Merry Christmas Twas the month...

This really bothered me. A friend called this to my attention...a group called the American Family Association got people to email PetSmart about...get this...not using the word "Christmas" ENOUGH in their advertising. I actually used the AFA's form letter to thank PetSmart for using "holiday"...

O'Reilly is onto us. Release the Hounds. http://mediamatters.org/items/200511100014 I like listening to O'Reilly's radio show, but when he gets going on this War on Christmas thing, I have to turn him off. He really starts sounding like a crackpot. :mad:

http://mediamatters.org/items/200512060004 The joke from Stewart's Daily Show was: SAMANTHA BEE: But really, let's face it. All other days bow down to the 25th. It's the only religious holiday that's also a federal holiday. That way, Christians can go to their services and everyone else can...

Beseems that some fundies are mad at Bush. Why? http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/12/07/MNGSTG40L41.DTL&type=printable

TAM III guest speaker (and guest for TAM IV as well) Christopher Hitchens was on MSNBC's Scarborough Country December 1. The topic was the so-called attack on Christmas, a non-event people like Bill O'Reilly are trying to make into news. While I disagree with a large heap of what Hitchens says...

How come it's ok to say "Happy Hanukkah" but it's not ok to say "Merry Christmas"? On our local news stations, they'll do those video type greeting cards and splash words like "Joy" or "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" but never "Merry Christmas". Yet, the same stations will splash...

I was listening to Mike Gallagher this morning..even though he so often gets under my skin. Today's topic is the ACLU and Christmas. He says now, not only does the ACLU want to get rid of nativity scenes, but (get ready)...even what SECULAR Christmas has as it's symbol; Santa Claus! It maybe...
