Hey Internet

Actually the meme was about how it's hypocritical that it's okay for pretty much every religion to openly celebrate and practice their faith in public but if a Christian does it, the finger waving starts. I'm politically Independent[i..e. my brain is too big to allow me to follow two political parties full of people who couldn't be more zombie like if they were on "The Walking Dead"], I'm also a Pagan and a member of a coven. And before anyone brings up the long list of crimes committed by Christianity, every religion as well as the non-religious has blood on their hands. So tired of that excuse, so a bunch of Christians did a ton of horrible things, so you punish the innocent ones too? And how is it fair that I can be open about my faith in public without a liberal firestorm of intolerance but a Christian saying Merry Christmas will catch all sorts of hell? Tolerance should be for all or none, I'm sorry but that's one area where you can't pick and choose.

Can I start calling people hate monger? Its funny.

Why did your comment get downvoted, though? Just when Christians started talking about hypocrisy, they rapidly show off their own...

It makes christians mad when the right to religion is used outside of christianity.

Thanks for the information. This'll come in handy in trolling.

I like when christians say Kwanzaa or other holiday is "made up"....newsflash...all holidays (and religions) are "made up"

We go along with the charade. I buy a "Happy Birthday Jesus" cake.

Hypocrisy at its finest

Being a Pagan, I find it interesting how many holidays are derived from ones started by Pagans in ancient times. It really is fascinating. Samhain along, an October holiday/ritual that honors the dead became both Halloween and Mexico's Day of the Dead, though the later is closer in spirit to what we do. Christians turned Yule into Christmas, and at the core it's pretty close in many ways, basically spending the darkest days of the year with loved ones, having a little feast, and maybe exchanging a gift or two.

I honestly think that unless humans are being sacrificed, holidays are a good thing. They are basically pressure relief valves and allow us to unwind and have a little fun. Even if religion someday goes away altogether, keeping a few holidays around isn't a bad idea.

Holidays are great..but saying one is more valid than another is hideously hypocritical. All holidays are made up by man for man. No diety came down and marked the calendar.
