      The war on Christmas CANNOT END until Christmas ceases its illegal occupation of November.

      We are once again calling on the Claus regime to return to their side of the borders outlined in the Black Friday agreement.

      I’ve already fired my first salvo. By now I would have had at least three or four gifts already purchased and ready for the Christmas season. I haven’t even bothered. And I won’t. It’s going to be a lean Christmas and it’s going to hurt the capitalist assholes who are fucking up our country.

      So the war on Christmas is odd on a theological and economic level. The secular (pagan?) Side is driven by corporations not the woke left. A fact often ignored by the evangelical right.

      So what solution do they even want? A commercial with Jesus on the cross saying he thirts and having a Roman soldier pass him a chilled and refreshing coca cola?

      Maybe a nativity where one of the wisemen is like and we got something for Joseph too and hand him a power saw?

      Wtf

        It started because Starbucks had a disposable cup without the words Christmas on it. It was a generic Holiday cup they used through Nov-early Jan. Suddenly we are under attack! Very stupid.

          I think the anger over saying ‘happy holidays’ instead of ‘merry christmas’ predated that, because christians have found a way to get outraged over everything for a looong time. I was pretty happy just this week that dobson died, because focus on the family underpinned a lot of those sentiments that passed through the american christian sects.

      I just want people to start complaining about “x-mas” again so I can explain very slowly what the Greek letter Chi is.

        Good luck with that. The explaining part, I mean.

        I’ve had xtians hound me on various forums for using their own abbreviation, LOL. Even after explaining it to them, they’d still get worked up into a poutrage, deny what I told them, which was obviously true, and, at least on Denver Post forums, run to the mods to try to get me banned and/or my posts taken down.
