Wow. I didn't realize the article, and my comment could cause such a stir. While I realize that Christmas is a Christian Holiday, it has become so incredibly commercialized, and not about Christ, that I find it silly that this group of people will not shop at Kohl's (for example) because they say, "Happy Holidays!"
Another irritation of mine is Christians that believe that God loves everyone, but continue to persecute anyone unlike themselves.
No, I don't put all Christians in this small group of people that I've shown in the article. I'm just pretty recently removed from going to church myself. (As a matter of fact, I think I'm still a "member") I know a few good people who really honestly try to be Christ-like. But I was also raised in a church that was/is continually full of hate towards not only the outside world, but even themselves! I cannot find much honesty and real love within the walls of Christianity. That's my first reason for being separated from it. The second is that I just can't make logical sense of it.
Overall, with this articlethe point I was trying to make (and someone made for me) is that I hate to be associated with narrow mindedness.
