How many of you are completely put off by the Christmas holiday? As in, wish it just didn’t exist!
I spent years in a cult religion that didn’t observe it. And I didn’t like it before that anyway.
I would love to see a Happy Holidays vs Keep Christ in Christmas mud fight.
It would beat watching Its A Wonderful Life for the 89th time and singing along to Bings Christmas album. ‘Silver Bells’ I ask you!
Christmas holidays is a just a symptom of the root problem - the organized religion. People started doing "Happy Holidays" and the religious nuts started campaigning for "Keep Christ in Christmas." For them, there is a lot at stake, a world power, a huge global influence, terrible secrets under wraps, billions of Dollars, livelihood of millions running and helping run this mega corporation. All this is not done in pure love of the good but mostly to protect the bad from exposure.
For me, I pick my battles and don't swing a sword against a gun shooter. There are many great organizations who are fighting this fight for us like the FFRF. I give money and spread the anti-religion message wherever I can. I have accepted that it is going to take a century or two to minimize the hold of Christianity alone so they would not matter any more but sadly they have a huge influence today.
Therefore, my answer is enjoy the holidays and hate the religion and the Christ. Our fight is contagious. People were afraid to come out as atheists but it is happening worldwide. This movement will gather pace and swell.
