no to be honest I dont, the secular world is out to remove christianity from the face of this earth, you would have to be blind or dumb not to see it. any inch we give them is an inch more closer to totalitarianism for them.

As long as you want to think of it as a war, there will never be an end to it and nobody will win. Face it, not everyone celebrates Christmas and people who don't can feel uneasy about the fact that the majority does. In fact, suppose Hanukkah was the holiday celebrated by the majority in the U.S. Then those who celebrate Christmas would be uneasy. Before criticizing one's opinions on this time of year, we should put ourselves in the other person's shoes and we would understand that while Christmas is the majority celebration, there is a diversity of thought that we must respect.

My answer to this would more then likely be a NO. I am a pagan, and have nothing against christianity at all. Before I dedicated myself to my Pagan faith, I was a youth minister in a christian church. I changed faiths for one main reason. The biggest thing that any god has EVER taught anyone is TOLERANCE!
I left ALL Christian based faiths because they have lost site of that. Christ was tolerant. He healed the sick and made the lame walk for one reason. He wasn't afraid to acknowledge their presence. He wasn't afraid to lay hands on them. Same goes for every faith that I have EVER encountered.
Maybe all those "born again" Christians need to wake up and learn some tolerance. You know...REALLY live closer to the way Christ did. Don't live rich and high powered, You are not like Christ in that manner. You are more like the Romans that slaughtered him.
The thing is that in the pagan faith, I can believe in any and all gods, including the "christian god" without fear of retribution from the Pagan Gods and Godesses, because only the christian god says I will burn in hell for it. So I figure, I will follow the common teachings of all religions which is basically the christian 10 commandments, or the Wiccan Rede, or whatever depending on your chosen faith. Basically the BIG rules to live by.
If I successfully live as a good human being, and provide for my family the best I can, and teach them to use those same rules, I will go to whatever heaven REALLY exists.
Regardless, I only hope that the "CHRISTIAN FAITH" realizes that they were NOT the first and that their faith is based of OLD RELIGIONS that were around a whole lot longer. Not to mention all of their "christian" holidays are actually based off of pagan rituals....GEE! I wonder who was around first!
Blessed Yule to you all! Blessed Be!

Since the "war on xmas" only exists in the minds of insecure, paranoid Christians and conservatives, it will never end as long as they can find new, ever pettier "evidence" that they are being persecuted.
So the answer is no.

You have in my workplace. Mention "Happy Holidays" and everyone gets uppity. Apparently acceptance and respect of other's religious beliefs isn't high on the Christian priority list.
