I emailed this guy back and said that I was sick of Christians whining about people not celebrating Christmas the right way, and he said that he was not whining, he just didn't want anyone to keep him from celebrating a religious holiday. I told him to relax, because nobody's actually doing that. They couldn't do it if they wanted to because of the First Amendment.
Oh and the other thing about that email which annoyed me (other than it being typed in all caps) was the question "Why do non-Christians celebrate Christmas anyway?" Well guess what, sparky? I am an atheist, and I take Sundays off, too.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

This is slightly off topic but I didn't want to start a new thread in order to post it.

Some of you probably have already seen this, I thought I'd post it anyway.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

They've been trying to revert the pagan tradition to a more christlike holiday ever since Christians were introduced to the holiday.
It never took for the same reason that religious people trying to force us to not celebrate Halloween never took.
It's too much fun and the alternative is as stupid.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
