The Chinese get Christmas off and they aren't Christians.

What I mean is, why does everywhere still close for Christian holidays and not the other holidays?

Are you implying that people need good reasons to have time off from work? I'm not a monarchist but I'll be pissed if we lose our queen's birthday long weekend!

Easter is always on a Sunday so they kind of dodge a bullet there.  A lot of schools refer to the xmas break as a "winter break" which pisses xtians off something fierce.


Again, they always want to be special.

Exactly, we don't need reasons. We could schedule time off for federal non religious holidays (such as the queen's birthday) and days that aren't on religious holidays.

The Sunnis only have two holidays.  The Asians observe the Christian holidays.  There aren't enough Hindi to worry about.

What kind of God wants you to spend your whole holiday sucking his dick?

If thanking him once a day through prayer isn't enough, there isn't room in the multiverse for his ego.

I agree, it does suck that the Christian holidays have become the norm and fuck everyone else.

Maybe that's why countries generally have their own religions.  That way they can just cater to themselves.  Do you think Christians, Buddhists, Jews, and Hindus can open up worship houses in Mecca?
