December’s Dilemma

Posted in Christianity, Religion on December 25, 2009 by Thinking Heresy

At CNN, there is an interesting article about the various ways non-Christians respond to Christmas. All pretty typical, except the way Christians apparently respond to us non-christians:

How do Christians themselves see the presence and practices of non-Christians during Christmas?

Good to know we are at least tolerated.  Seriously, everyone that is not a Christian should just stop celebrating christmas, no more buying presents, christmas trees, decorations, lights, etc.
