Merry Christmas,

We don't want him here in New Zealand! ;-)

Wahabbist are you? Or Talibanist?

Nope, I'm saved also.

Judge not least ye be judged...

You are wrong!

I did... and none of those things happened.

Me neither. I heard "Merry Christmas" in many retail stores this year.

It is against the law for a store to use that word. A person in the store can at their own risk which is what you heard.

I am not wrong you are only saying that Mathu because you agree with those that want to take Christmas away but are hypocrites because you still celebrate it.

Yes you are.

I celebrated Christmas at my church and no one stormed my houe nor did lawyers take my kids in a day. (Although a day away from the youngun's is a pleasant thought at times!!!)

Someone should probably look at taking Curt's [imaginary? his fingers?] kids away. Catholic priesta aren't the only sort of bible thumping pervos, and he sounds like one of the really twisted ones. [video of Robert Mitchum with LOVE and HATE tatooed on his knuckles]

OK headcase, cite a reference to that law...

The idiot only drank Kool-Aid to wash down the tabs of LSD, by the sounds of it...

You are very hostile and a drug user at that. Another thing to pray for about you. The list is getting long but God can handle it I hope.

Y'know, I'm more and more coming around to the idea that "curt" may well be Spanky redux.

Curt is an unrepentant top-poster also. Well, I fixed it in this case so that counts as a good work.

What word? "Merry Christmas" is a phrase, made up of two words. And my how many people are taking such risks these days. I heard it quite often.

Do you recall Christ's statement about looking at the beam in one's own eye before pointing out the speck in another's?

Lying is a sin. Until you post a valid reference to a law stating it is illegal to say "Merry Christmas" in a store, you are a liar. And until such proof is posted by you, you will be an unrepentant liar. Good luck in hell.

Whether or not store employees can, should, or are required to say "Merry Christmas" is purely a matter of store policy. The first amendment applies to a store that has a policy of saying "Merry Christmas". Though the first amendment does not apply in the case of a store that forbids employees from saying it (a store can censor employees; the government cannot sensor the store.)

That is just a statement of facts, and a request for your mythical law against saying "Merry Christmas". It wasn't a reply to your last paragraph because your words made no sense and border on the psychotic.

I have no desire to take away Christmas. I want to keep it forever. I spent $995.00, without giving it a second thought, on a 1965 vintage stainless aluminum Christmas tree just because it is the exact same tree our family had when I was young.

But I celebrate Christmas out of tradition, not because of the mythical son of some sky God. Who also happened to be a liar. Refer to the Sermon on the Mount. Ask anything and it shall be done for you? Really? Then where is my winning lottery ticket? Seen any mountains move lately at the behest of some true believer? Neither have I.

So keep praying, not that it does any good. But for a test, here are some objectives:

1: Ask *anything* (and I mean something outrageously improbable) and have it done for you. In fact do it ten times successfully. Prayer is like roulette - you win some you lose some - purely by chance, regardless of what the liar on the Mount said. I can pray to a doorknob and have about 50% of my prayers answered favorably.

2: Move a mountain and cast it into the sea. Jesus said you could do it, so why not give it a whirl? Pick a small, insignificant mountain that nobody will really miss.

3: As part of point 1, please forward to me next Wednesday's winning Powerball numbers. That is a 1 in 146,107,962 chance. That is improbable enough to make Richard Dawkins do a spit take with his morning coffee.

If nothing else, just get something productive done instead of screaming at people and inventing wild conspiracy theories about the government banning Christmas. If you can't do that, then at least pray for a more efficacious tinfoil hat.

Church yes, public no. So I am right. Read before insulting.

Steve, this posting of yours does not make logical sense.

You say people should look at themself before going after others, and then you go after others without looking at yourself.

So yes hell is where you will end up if you do not change and repent which I am pray> On 12 Jan 2007 08:49:25 -0800, snipped-for-privacy@aim.com wrote: >
