[Rev. M. Rodimer]

I've been accosted by a number of "holiday greetings" which are NOT "Merry CHRISTmas". Which do you think is the worst of the bunch?

[Lisa H]

Anyone who does not say Merry Christmas is all the same to me.

[Janine Walker]

Had someone at a store say Merry X-mas to me and my dad and we called that whore a "harlot" and left swiftly.

The nerve of some people..

With real holiday greetings! A late Merry Christmas from Janine Walker

[Rev. Jim Osborne]

"Merry ChristMyth" really gets under my skin. How dare people question the reality of the story of a virgin being told by an angel she will bear God's son, then she and her boyfriend make a long trip across the desert, where they give birth to the Son of God in a manger, and a group of wise men come to them after being guided by a star in the sky.

[Daisy Mae Johnson]

When I hear Happy Holidays I get filled with righteous rage.

[Nobar King]

You forgot the worst one of all: Happy Chrismahanakwanzica. Can't we just enjoy our holiday in peace without having to defend it from terrorist attacks and cunning linguists?

[Rebuko the Clown]

Happy Holidays: This is a slap in the face to baby Jesus because it assumes inferior holidays like Kwanzaa or Hanukkah are on the same level as Christmas. There not.

Season's Greetings: So bland and generic, this one mustve been thought up by a multicultural marketing team for Political Correctness, Inc.

Merry Xmas: I don't care what the history books can prove or all the evidence that "X" is another way of signifying "Christ", you're still removing Christ from Christmas!

Also how come its totally cool with media and companies to say "Happy Hannukkah" or "Happy Kwanzaa" but not okay to say "Merry Christmas"? Even though hanukkah and kwanzaa were both invented to take over Christmas, its all part of the WAR ON CHRISTMAS. Jews and muslim darkies have tried to destroy our proud Christian heritage but they failed.

[Didymus Much]

"The christains all called in 'sick'. Enjoy your forty-two hour shift!".

[Brother Temperance]

I voted Kwanzaa because it was the only one that directly celebrates one of Satan's false Christmases. I also thought we should add in some greetings related to Chanukkah or Ramadan, but no-one can ever make out what those people are actually saying, so I just added "Allah Akhbar!" to the poll on the grounds that Muslims probably say it at Christmas anyway.

Works for me!

I see that someone voted for "Merry Christmas". Who did that?

I'm looking at you, Didymus!

As far as "ChristMyth" . . . I was at the mall on Thursday and and a young man stocking shelves wished me a "Merry ChristMyth". Figuring it was a lisp, I was about to begin explaining to him how God feels about homosexuals, when the cashier called out to her minimum-wage buddy and said, "No, you have to pronounce it like two words, "Christ Myth". You just sound like a big ol' GURL who can't talk right the way you say it! You know, like Jamie, the only guy working in Cosmetics?"

Realizing what he'd been trying to say, and that it was possible he was not a homosexual after all, I instead explained to him what God thinks of atheists, and described his future in God's Lake of Fire. After only fifteen minutes he was begging for the Lord. "Jesus Christ," he yelled, "Please! What will it take to stop you?"

I of course explained that he could avoid Jesus casting him into Hellby becoming a Christian.

HE AGREED! He wrote down his address so I could mail him a free KJV1611. It goes out tomorrow!

[Johny Joe Hold]

I voted for the Solstice one. It's just plain pagan--no getting around it.

There should really be a law against greeting a Christian that way.

Fortunately people in my town aren't very smart. They would never be able to pronounce that. Besides after smiting them for a year with my 1611 King James Bible they all say Merry Christmas.

Jesus was certainly not born on december 25th. As it was very cold and the weather would be to harsh , to expect sheperds to keep their flocks out in the cold .
The date 25th of december is given by the early christians, as they saw that the pagans celebrated the god Satans birthday on 25th december. Then the early christians changed it as christs birthday on 25 th december.

Do you know anything about sheep farming? Where exactly were they supposed to put the sheep? Even in modern times and in northern climates, sheep are kept outside year round. As long as their not sheared, they'll be fine (especially in a temperate climate like Bethlehem). I always love being told by city folk how livestock is kept. Or do you think they stuffed a hundred head or so of sheep into their tents/huts with them?

I am amazed at your knowledge on child birth. Women cannot give birth in winter because it is to cold. That would would have to be one of the silliest things I have ever heard.

You can check the temprature of where Jesus was born here

Good catch, I missed that part.

I guess my Son that was born in January doesn't exist, after all it would have been too cold for me to give birth.

I disagree with your opinion on the solstice, that's a holiday that belongs to everyone. We all live on the same round earth having the same short winter days.

Tell the people in Australia that. Really, do you EVER get out of your basement?

Very true Sister BIG. Today it is 40 degrees (104 degree Fahrenheit). The sun came up at 6:00pm and is expected to set at 8:45pm. That is nearly 15 hours of sun. Hardly a short cold winters day.
