re: #81 Unshaken Defiance
Who was ever offended by a misplaced pleasant greeting? Short of channeling a porcupine personality, why be upset? So then why worry about saying Merry Christmas in stead of Happy Holidays outside of a Mosque, Jewish Temple or House Of Flying Spaghetti Monster (aka take out pizza) ? If someone puffs up and says “I’m atheist I don’t believe in magic Jesus” I’ll just wish them a great weekend, what with Christmas falling on Saturday.
The only holiday I now will not acknowledge is Thanksgiving. The sheer disingenuousness of the holiday, coupled with the obvious white supremacism, make me uncomfortable.
But even then, I would still accept the greeting.
