There's no discussion *available* if he is in the mix.
Sorry Garth -- but am just stating the obvious (to most of us) here.
Dave,
Really? Do tell? ... Then please explain to me why you're still discussing, hmmmm? Or aren't you aware of your fingers typing on the keyboard when you respond? <_<
But in all seriousness Dave, arguments like that are comparable to a little kid blurting out "So you think that your daddy is better than my daddy!" Yes, that is how I see it.
Believe it or not, there is *nowhere* in any of my posts where I am saying that there is no discussion available or allowed, and when you get off your high horse, ... you know it. This is an open forum, and nobody is prohibiting you from responding. (remember your fingers typing away on the keyboard?) Oh, and by the way, you post with *just as much passion and challenge as I do* in many of your posts, and you know it, so spare me the "You just don't want other people to say anything" song-and-dance, because I have never communicated such, and no "well it seems like it" argument is good enough to prove otherwise.
You are college (or equivalent) educated adult. I would expect more intelligent responses than that from you. If what I am saying is wrong, then show it clearly. Ron's above post was a classic example of a better attempt than yours. I am disagreeing with him on specific points, and state why. ... And neither of us is going "There is no discussion available" to the other here. ... You notice that? :unsure:
And by the way, you also notice that my initial post here was with a humorous anecdote? It was others that took it more seriously and made an argument out of it. ... Right? <_<
Only because you and those who agree with you haven't succeeded in having it prohibited
Talk about your blanket (and quite presumptuous) statements. <_<
And with that, I think I will withdraw from this particular argument, as it is evident that we're gonna go 'round and round with no end in sight, neither one of us convincing the other.
So I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Don't forget Yule! I don't actually know a pagan that celebrates the Winter Solstice( not that I have a huge network of pagan friends), though some do Mother's Night on the solstice. The ones I know practice Yule. Some pagans think Santa is a new form of Odin, others a form of Thor...they both point to legends.
I thought this was a interesting blog post--YMMV.
I don't see any point in being upset about celebration times, especially one that is meant to be a time of warmth, generosity, thankfulness etc.

Ok. You're right, I'm wrong.
God bless, and have a Merry Christmas!

I would venture to say that my Wicca friends would disagree with this
Two questions How do you know no one has converted to paganism by viewing these images?Who are you aware of that has converted to Christianity by viewing a Creche??
These kind of Blanket statements with no factual basis hardly support your arguments
Only because you and those who agree with you haven't succeeded in having it prohibited
Never said Christmas was banned by the government--where do you get these ideas??
