well "happy holidays" is not a war on christmas changing everything that says christmas to holiday seems to me like it is at least an attack if not a war. Holiday tree? Give me a break, can we rename the candles for honikah to Holiday candels too?
There are two groups of people that annoy me 1) is the group of people that have to be in your face christians and make sure everyone knows they are christian and try to force it on everyone else and 2) is the group of in your face athiests that try to make sure that no one else can worship God without feeling like an idiot or like they are infringing on other peoples rights.
What is next? Do we remove the star or angel from the top of christmas trees? Do we rename easter to happy bunny day?
Case in point. Out here in Utah there is a huge stink by athiests who are upset by crosses that are along the highways. These crosses are memorials for fallen highway patrol men and are placed around where they died. These crosses are a memorial to these officers lives. None of the families of these officers have complained about the memorials. Now Utah is special because 60% of our population is mormon. The mormon church does not like the cross and do not believe in displaying crosses but not a single mormon has come out against these crosses because they realize it is a memorial honoring the sacrifice that these men made. The constitution guarentees people the right of religious freedom (atheism included) but does not guarentee the right to shit on everyone elses religion.
