Merry Christmas (haha)...

Or to learn tolerance! To appreciate the fact that we are all different and to graciously accept that.

Someone mentioned the removal of Christmas trees in some areas. That's happening in Canada too.  And to me that's just going too far.

I'm all for blending of cultures but don't stomp on the rights of people to celebrate their religion. First there was the elimination of the Lord's Prayer in school, and now Christmas trees. However, on the other side of the coin some cultures have fought and won the right to wear certain clothing items and carry certain types of  "weapons" in schools / work / jobs etc all in the name of their religious beliefs.  So how exactly is that different from putting up a Christmas tree at Christmas or saying the Lord's Prayer in a public school?

All of this political correctness is taking on a double standard, and that's what is truly offensive.

We all need to learn tolerance, and unfortunately I don't see that happening any time soon :(

 

I'm glad they eliminated the Lord's Prayer in school. Back when I was in grade school, I belonged to a religion which did not acknowledge the divinity of Jesus. I could either say the prayer, which would be against my religion, mumble, which would make me a hypocrite, or not say the prayer, which would single me out. This is the same school in which I was accused of being a Christ killer several times, once being jabbed with a pencil for it. (This occured after I was made to stand up in front of the class and explain why I didn't celebrate Christmas.)
