I’m against the War on Christmas. No not that one! Wishing someone “Happy Holidays” doesn’t rob Christmas of its meaning—after all, being sensitive to others’ religious beliefs ought to be the attitude of every Christian. And not the one that says we have over-commercialized Christmas—after all, there’s nothing wrong with a time of year when we purchase thoughtful gifts for those we love.

No, the “war on Christmas” I’m opposed to is the one being mindlessly waged by Christians who have so watered down the Christmas story into a sentimentalized version of itself that it denies the radical message of this God event.

There are 2 posts on this already, one in the Religion Group and one in GD. This is the interfaith one so if you wish to post in here please read the sop first. This topic got interesting in the other threads but the sop of this group is a bit stricter. Thank you.
