Do any of you non Christians get offended when someone wishes you a Merry Christmas?

[DraftNerd]

dunno.
I dont celebrate Christmas anymore, but everyone still wishes me a Merry Christmas. I dont get offended. Just wish them one back.
Havent had a tree in my house in over a decade!

I get your points on this. But I also feel like you frame them as a response to what someone else says.

I play this myself. I try to wait for what they say and repeat it. If not I just go with Happy Holidays. I grew up with Christmas. We do Christmas. But, it’s not any bigger of a deal to me.

An example....a grocery store. I found a while back they coached their cashiers to wish all customers Happy Holidays. Because....there are multiple holidays in December, and their customers celebrate all of them. It’s just smart in that regard. What always gives me a smirk is when the customer in front of me is told Happy Holidays and they get full of indignity and attitude with “Merry Christmas!!!” back to the cashier.

While I agree that this smacks of PC gone wild....it’s also the appropriate way to handle a diverse customer base. How that customer takes or as an attack on Christmas I will never be able to fathom.

Ah, because Jesus is the reason for presents and a fat guy in a red suit.

That was a looong post to finally admit you’re a slave to PC.

But you admitted it, which shows more courage than the other posers here.

Yea

Respecting other people is overrated!

Well, it’s a Christian holiday. How you interpret it and the excuses you make for yourself are irrelevant. You celebrate it. That makes you a welcher to your fake made up atheism you pretend to care about (prob for attention, who knows).

No that's from the appropriation of Norse tradition and a strong marketing campaign by Coca-Cola.

Reputation is a big thing around here. If you want to be known as a fake ass poser, that’s your decision.

Pussy

Yeah, at least @Flavortown Tebow's vortexes make some sort of sense. This is a blended fuck-up of about 3 different half-formed thoughts.

I am Catholic.

Your attempts to call anyone who calls your dumb argument dumb an atheist are pretty bad, and you should be better than this.

This Christian holiday has coopted so many pagan traditions, including the date, that it's not even a pure Christian holiday at this point.

Oh man lol I love the pagan excuse. Almost as old as the spaghetti monster excuse. Straight out of the confused teenager 101 handbook. You wear a fedora too?

Christmas trees are a pagan tradition.

December 25 (close to winter solstice and not Jesus' birthday) is a pagan tradition.

Lights are a pagan tradition.

You, being the good purist that you are, eschew all of them, right?

Christmas is a Christian holiday. You want to be an excuse making pussy that’s on you. I don’t care what you do, but I’ve lost all (online) respect for you as a poster and will always associate your name and avatar with welching.

Same for rest of you pussies. Real atheists don’t even think about Christmas.
