| should not have started this thread, you should keep your religion and your political views to yourself unless asked, or am I wrong. What gets me is that I don't go around telling Jews or Muslims that I find their views offensive, they can have theirs and I can have mine. What is offensive is them telling me and mine that we are wrong and we should not practice that which we do because it offends them. I don't open the door to the Jehovas because they should not be coming to my house and telling me what I should believe. When in grade school we had Jehovas in school, they went to the library and read or studied while we had Easter parties and such, nobody bothered them and they bothered nobody. That is how it should be. I've never told anyone they could not have Hanukah because it offends me, why should they be able to tell me I can't have Christmas because it offends them? MERRY CHRISTMAS |
My feelings exactly.

) The kids' Sunday School will be putting on a Christmas program next week just like every other year which will be completely CHRISTmas. My daughter has been prancing around in her angel costume. My son-- not so thrilled with the sheep. lol
