So I've read about Sarah Palin's book, about the war on Christmas. Not read the book itself because I'm really, really fed up of first world Christians whining about being persecuted and I suspect it would make me cross.

I have a question for you atheist folks.

If I, being a Christian, wished you a happy Christmas, would you be OK with that? Are there any circumstances you would find it offensive?

I would be fine with it.

Christmas, Easter, it's all time off from work. I'm happy about spending time with my loved ones and giving presents. That I don't believe the Jesus story, and understand that Christmas is simply the Roman Saturnalia festival modified for a Christian audience, doesn't detract from any of this Smile
