‘Tis the Season for Arguing Over Religious Tolerance
Scott Pantall | December 4, 2009
Every year,around this time, the argument over Christmas goes on. And every year it’s the same arguments: “There’s a war on Christmas!” and “The Christians are hogging all the holiday cheer!”. And every year the argument ends after Christmas and then all we care about is that you take down your decorations before Valentine’s Day. A Denver Post commenter pretty much nailed my attitude about this pointless arguing with this glorious rant (Her rant is condescending and rude to BOTH sides of the argument so if you lay heavily on either side, you’ll probably be offended):
Okay folks, this is getting a little silly. In the red corner we have the right wingers kvetching about the death of Christian morals and how those evil pinko commie socialist libs want the world to be PC and abolish God. In the blue corner we have a bunch of lefties kvetching about separation of church and state and the celebrating of a holiday that marks the supposed birthday of an ancient zombie. Could we please lighten up a little bit folks? It’s just a holiday. Can we all just enjoy some good food and our new Xboxes in peace? Atheists, leave the Christians alone. They aren’t holding a gun to your head telling you to accept Christ as your personal savior and I know you’re all capable of ignoring the evangelists with those great big scientific brains of yours. I promise Zombie Jesus is not trying to eat them. Christians, leave the Atheists alone. They aren’t holding a gun to your head demanding you say God doesn’t exist and I know you’re fully capable of cracking open your bible to a favorite passage and reading to ignore them. I promise Zombie Charles Darwin is not going to try to crack your cranium with a fossil to get at your brains.
