. . . are so judgmental of others for their beliefs and yet are so offended when others do not accept theirs e.g. saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.
I really think that these people who believe and act like that are doing christianity a disservice and harming it severely.

Love and blessings Don

I have no problem at all with YOU saying Happy Holidays; I do have a problem with Christians not being allowed to say Merry Christmas. I have actually seen exactly the opposite of what you asked. I know of a cashier who was chastised by a customer for wishing them a Merry Christmas. You can wish me happy Hanukah, merry Ramadan, blest Harvest Moon, or happy tree day. All that is fine with me. Don’t expect me to say “thanks I see your going to heaven too”.
As far as being Judgmental, many non-Christians can quote "judge not lest ye be judged" but they fail to understand the context of that verse. It is not condemning Christians judging others but it is stressing the necessity for righteous judgment according to the Word of the Law. We do not judge another Christian’s salvation but we can righteously judge the fruits of their labor in Christ service. We can surly tell you an unsaved person is bound for Hell.
Unless you are a born again Christian who’s faith is in Christ you will never, never, ever see inside the Gates of Heaven but it is a fact you will bust the gates of Hell wide open.
Is that harsh ? Yes the truth often is. Is that Judgmental ? It is a righteous judgment and is exactly what the Bible teaches. Is that true ? 100% yes. Christ says in John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." How much more plain can it get ? One way, one truth, one life, one Savior. Anyone who tells you different is either lying or is deceived.

Why would you take Christmas as a holiday and put up a Christmas tree and exchange presents but refuse to say Merry Christmas. Can you show me one instance of a traditional holiday tree that was setup coincidentally around Christmas?
You i.d.i.o.t.s want to celebrate the Christian holidays but don't want to acknowledge it.

Some may seem judgmental but you need to know the way to eternal life. We as Christians will be persecuted it is stated in the Bible. Read in John to learn more. Mike

I celebrate Christmas. Respectively I would wish others Merry Christmas. Other people can be tolerant & respect what I celebrate.
in September every year I wish my jewish friends Happy new Year although I do not celebrate it.
Peace & God bless!

Totally agree.You get quotes from the bible instead of using their brain.I think radical Christians are as bad if not worse than radical "anythings" The first act of attempted terrorism was perpetrated by a
Christian group. Remember Guy Faulkes.

It is the same with all people and why should it be any different for believers to not have an opinion or independent thought or view

I have read this question 800 times now.
You can't just choose on set of people and accuse them of being judgemental when all sorts of religions are. It's the people anyway not the religion.
Isn't it judgemental to call someone judgemental lol
