Are non-christain people really offeded by Santa Clause? Or Christmas?

Answer 1

It's funny because I am Canadian and I always here people trying to tone down Christmas for the Non-Christians but then it is only the Muslims and the East Indians who actually bother to say Merry Christmas, rather then Happy Holidays. I am living in Denmark right now and the Muslims all have Santa in their window too. Lots of groups like Christmas, not just Christians.

Also I have lived in a Muslim country and I don't feel offended by Ramadan, in fact I think it is pretty cool. Not that it should matter if I didn't or not. It is a tradition that was there before I got there and I respect it.

And Merry Christmas!!

Answer 2

No i don't think they are offended by Christmas or Santa Clause. Just because they are non-christian doesn't mean they are atheist. They might be prespretarian, which means they just don't believe that the bread and wine are really the body and blood. Prespretarians still celebrate Christmas and Santa Clause.

Answer 3

Not offended in the least but just sorry for the poor little innocent ones 'cause CHRISTMAS IS LIKE SANTA CLAUS

You know the Fatman is a fake and a fat, white lie, but you go along with it anyway, as you deceive the kids and make them future liars to their own kids.

The Dictionary of the Bible says that: By the 5th. Century, the Church (of Rome) had concerned itself enough to have set December 25 as the date of Jesus’ birth. This had been the date of the Festival of the Sun God Zeus and to the Christians a greater light was come, Jesus Christ, the true light of the World.

Fact is - the Sun God is Zeus, and Jesus is really Jezeus, and the Romans worshipped Zeus, and you can see Barnabas being called Zeus by the Priests of Zeus in the Acts of the Apostles 14:12-13, in the Bible. Mithra was another son of Zeus, but Je-Zeus was Zeus come down as his own son, which made him strictly a Roman God.

Sunday is also the day that was set aside for worship of the Sun God (Zeus) by the Romans.

The Winter Solstice gives us the shortest day in the year, December 22, as the birth of the new Sun, so Rome shifted it to the 25 December in order to celebrate the Feast of the Circumcision eight days later, on 1 January, in accepting Jezeus Christos as the Living God of the Sun risen from the dead.

Zeus and the Fathers of Christianity did not know there was a Southern Hemisphere that did not share the Sun God Zeus or his four seasons, or his twelve disciples or twelve months of the year with the Northern Hemisphere, and it is for this reason that Australia celebrates Christmas twice each year, with the White Christmas falling in June but is called Christmas in July since they know it is a lie.

So Christmas and Christianity were as ignorant of the nature of the Planet as was Santa Claus of the South Pole, and just as the Pope was afraid that Christopher Columbus might fall off the flat Planet in his attempt to reach India traveling westwards, so were Santa Claus and Zeus afraid to go below the Planet and into the Fires of Hell.

When Pope John Paul ii declared the Shroud of Turin a medieval fake after having it scientifically carbon-dated in 1988, he failed to point out that the Bible describes the use of two shrouds, with one for the head and another for the “body” of the 100 lbs of aloes and myrrh, the other perfect hoax.

TRY SOME HONESTY THIS YEAR.
EXPOSE THE FRAUD OF SANTA THE UNHOLY.

BRING THE TRUTH OF THE MESSIAH FROM THE QURAN TO LIGHT SO THAT MEN WHO ARE BORN BLIND MIGHT SEE THAT THE ONE TRUE GOD CAN HAVE NO SON OR NO PARTNER
.
HE IS ONE, HE ALWAYS WAS, HE IS, AND HE ALWAYS WILL BE!

PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL OF HUMANITY!

Answer 4

I am Jewish and am not offended by Christmas or Santa Claus. I am not offended by anyone practicing or not practicing their religion. I am only offended when other people try to push their religious values on me. This includes right-wing Republicans trying to pass laws that impose their religious based "moral values" on everyone. It includes Christmas (or even Hanukkah) displays on public property. It includes organized prayer in the public schools, including prayer during school sponsored events like football games. It includes posting the Ten Commandments in courtrooms or outside courthouses. And it also includes wishing me a "Merry Christmas". I am Jewish and the story of Christmas goes against the most basic principles of my religion.

As annoying as it is to have see everything Christmas-based for about a month, I live in a country where 80% of the people are Christian, so it is understandable and not offensive. I just don't want others to force me into celebrating their holiday.

Since Hanukkah has just about ended, I am no longer celebrating a holiday (New Year's Day is also a Christian holiday). So even wishing me "Happy Holidays" is no longer valid. But I think in light of things I have no objection to people wishing me a generic "Happy Holidays". But people shouldn't wish others a "Merry Christmas" unless they know that the other person is a Christian.

Answer 5

There's all kinds of folks out there and although I'm sure some do find Christmas and Claus blasphemous, there's also lots of folks that don't care or even go along with the whole Christmas thing as an American culture. My household is not religious but we still sometimes put up a tree and always give gifts purely as a tradition.

Answer 6

First of all Father Christmas has nothing to do with Christianity. Secondly, my experience of people of other religions is that they have no problems with people with other beliefs. only the occasional fanatic is offended and the reason for that is that he or she is not 100% sure of their own beliefs or feels that their religion is being threatened. However, the truth is that all religions are retated. Just look at the festivals each have and see how similar they are. Muslims have Ramadam where they fast for a month the same as the jews have Yom kippur. same as lent where Christians are supposed to make sacrifices for, you guessed it, a month.

Only the far east religions,Buddism and Sikhism are very different but both practise total tolerance of other religions

Answer 7

Actually, Im sort of an athiest...and im not offended by christmas at all. In fact, I think this world really needs a day like this. Look, whatever stops us from killing each other and start treating one another like WE would like to get treated, can't be all THAT bad right?
Oh, and studies show that Jesus would have more likely to be born in late of spring or early summer.

Answer 8

I'm an atheist, and I celebrate Christmas every year. I have more fun with it than a lot of people I know, Christian, atheist, or otherwise.

This whole "non-Christians offended by Christmas" and "War on Christmas" is just ridiculous. I've heard LOTS of Christians state that non-Christians are offended by their beliefs, but I've never ONCE heard a non-Christian express the slightest amount of offense by it. It's basically a self-imposed persecution.

Answer 9

Santa is not Christian so I'm not sure why a non-Christian would be offended by a secular figure. Countless non-Christians celebrate Christmas.

Answer 10

I'm not offended at all.

And it's spelled Santa Claus.
