"My original protest and it is CHRISTmas" email

[Bluebear]

The latest spam I got in an email today: (Of course, the media has been dutiful in making this the new wedge issue)

Merry CHRISTmas, an idea who's time has come!!!!!!!! To those who planned on wishing me "Happy Holidays", don't BOTHER!!!! For He is born and my original protest idea is to write all the liberals with a hearty Merry CHRISTmas (CHRIST is in all cap letters) to show them not to mess around with our holiday. Oh, did I mention I put "Happy Birthday, Jesus" in the message too? That should REALLY tick off Hollywood and libbys too! So Merry CHRISTmas to all!

1. the sad thing is...

even if jesus existed and was the son of god...christmas wasn't his fucking birthday!

[Bluebear]

2. Why are they so bent on "ticking" people off on Christmas?

No more Peace on earth, goodwill and all that. Now it's just another wedge tool.

[bobbobbins]

3. yeah, jesus preaches tolerance and peace...

yet to celebrate his birth, they try to tick off anyone who doesn't believe in him. The hypocracy runs deep.

4. The can put christ in all caps all they want to

But they seldom if ever BEHAVE like christ was supposedly to have taught us to behave. Problem is it's been a long time since their lipservice has matched their attitudes, behavior, and livestyles.

6. liberals can be Christians, too

I'm a liberal. I'm a Christian. When did Christmas become "our" (conservatives') holiday? Liberals have moral values that closely align with those of Jesus Christ. Merry CHRISTmas!

P.S. Please, please. Please. Review apostrophe use before you send out mass emails. Please.

7. Welcome to DU, and be clear I didn't send that crap out

I got it as an email. I know my apostrophe's. :)

8. Like the author of this spam actually KNOWS anyone in Hollywood

to get this and BE ticked off. And last I looked, Libbys just puts pumpkin in cans... :silly:

Arrogant idiot. (the author...not you, Bluebear.)

11. It has nothing to do with Jesus!!

There are hundreds of holidays around the world during this month and the fundies act as though they have the only "right" one. JUst how they treat their religion.

[Bluebear]

12. That post comes to the heart of the matter.

Well said.

13. Thanks bluebear

I normally let people say whatever the hell kind of stupid shit they want to, but this sort of thing just makes me want to rip my hair out!

14. What crap!

I wonder how that person would feel if s/he got an email like:

A Happy REAL New Year, an idea who's time has come!!!!! To those who planned on wishing me a Happy New Year in January, don't BOTHER!!! For the REAL New Year is Rosh Hashana and my original protest idea is to write to all Christian Conservatives with a hearty Happy REAL New Year (REAL is in all cap letters) to show them not to mess around with our holiday. Oh, did I mention I put "May you be inscribed in the REAL Book of Life" in the message too? That should REALLY tick off the White House and the fundies, too! So Happy REAL New Year to all!

Hmmm...has a nice ring to it, no? I bet his/her damn head would spin off! "How dare you attack my religion, but insinuating your religion is better than mine?!" However, I am sure the irony would be lost on him/her!

15. Will burning christians at the stake

or feeding them to the lions come back in style soon?

16. I like the "Jesusland" idea personally..

We may as well all leave. There's nothing left to fight for. America is well past life support at this point.
