though the Islamic symbol of a menorah and star and crescent is allowed

I'm pretty sure the menorah is a Jewish symbol.

Okay, get ready for it...are you ready?

I don't think you're ready. Sit down.

I AGREE WITH YOU, CBOY!

story from Canada about a Christmas tree ordered removed by a judge because it's not an appropriate symbol for non-Christians:

I find this really hilarious because the use of the Christmas tree was taken from pagan religions so that missionaries could establish lines of similarity between Christianity and earth-based religions, swelling their ranks. Pfff, not appropriate for non-Christians my ass. It was non-Christians who started using it.

I'd say we're not far off when public use of the term "Merry Christmas" is banned entirely and it becomes something like "Jolly Winter Yule" or "Satisfying Solstice"

There's so much room in the world for a multitude of religions. Just because they don't all sync up on holidays doesn't mean that they have to get stepped on all the time. It's Christmas time for me. If it's not, then go to the movies on Christmas day and have pizza instead of turkey. You do the things you wat to on your holidays, and I'll do the same for mine.

Granted, the public arena and churches of any denomination should stay separate, but what is there that's bad about Christmas that should be repressed (aside from the regrettably rampant commercialism)? The idea of giving and sharing and spending time with friends and family?

This stuff is utterly ridiculous. These people who are throwing a fit over things they don't like and trying to ban them need to grow up.

Amen. I'm perfectly tolerant of other religions. If they want to be public about their important holidays, I support them. I won't participate, but I certainly wouldn't bitch and moan about it like everyone does about Christmas.

In fact, if anyone has the right to be mad about Christmas, it's us Christians for its gross secularization. Everyone just needs a big hug and a tall glass of "chill the fuck out about religion".
