The topic says it all. I don't think that it's right. Especially last year when a lot of atheists complained about Christmas trees being called Christmas trees. How stupid is that?
but how is it a corporate scheme? your making it seem like santa is a terrorist and the whole holiday is a coverup for a conspiracy. what does the corporation gain from christmas?
All know where Father Christmas came from. Or at least you should... Can this season not be without stupid arguements? It is thanksgiving today/tomorrow, so stop complaining about a holiday that lies a little less than a month away.
Wrong. Even if Christians do run the media, we can't say ANYTHING about our beliefs. That my friend, states that our media is controlled by atheists.

Actually you stated BOTH run the field of play. Which is true because none of our B.O.R. lean towards a religious state of mind, only closest one is "Freedom of religion" which is sstating this thread as WRONG.
XD father christmas... St.nich you mean? The guy we all think wears red and white? O wait you mean the one that was drawn and made up by Coca Cola? Yes, the old fat guy coming down the chimney was a drawing made by coca cola. hint the red and white. They made THE "santa claus" we now know. It is a corporate take over rlly. Businesses get money for presents, media takes coverage of "christmas specials". I'm just saying i think it should only be meant for christians.... Its meant to celerate the birth of jesus, whether or not on that particular day. So saying that because its not on this particular day it should be meant for everyone is bs. Im just saying that we invented it to allow us to celebrate the birth of jesus, and therefor unless u beleive fully in God then u shouldn't celebrate it.

They take christmas to get stuff for free, they take easter for the easter bunny, and they take other stuff from any other religious holiday to allow them to have all the fun they possibly can. Its like a stealing religion. They shouldn't be allowed to take our holiday, or even take symbolisms from our holiday for that matter cuz they just complain about it.
Since when is the Easter Bunny a Christian thing?? And nobody is taking Christmas or anything from you. Why not approve of the celebration of family and light? Why do you think it is not Christianity that have taken a lot of things from the pagans and implemented in their own traditions?
But I guess for the sake of the current mindset in this thread, it's good that I would much rather celebrate the actual solstice than some made up birthday for a prophet...
No, it doesn't, because you can still make a judgement based on your beliefs. Look at Fox news. They manipulate everything for they're Conservative Republican Christian views.
and look at everyone else they manipulate everything for a liberal democrat atheist view
I think it is fine for anyone to have their beliefs, why does it really matter to you? if you want to celebrate Christmas, go ahead. religion should not affect so much of the world, it is a big war starter. if you want to call it a Christmas tree, you should be able to. calling it a holiday tree makes no sense to me, but if you want to call it that, fine. One more thing, people will always celebrate Christmas, no matter what some groups say and do.
Ya and you can't talk about something that points out your right and no accept that other stations act like that anyway...we had al this sorted out before anyone can celebrate it but they need to understand why it started even if thats not the way the celebrate it both should stay out of each other but a christmas tree and merry christmas is fine
What I got out of it was; One's opinion on one station will never be totally right because someone else will always act as if they are right at the same time. It's a never-ending vicious cycle. As for the Christmas thing, it doesn't matter whether or not they celebrate Christmas. But Samy thinks that they should at least acknowledge where and how Christmas truly started. and I don't understand the last part about the Merry Christmas and tree thing, maybe he forgot some words...
