Sacred or Secular?

I agree if people put as much energy into things that really mattered ie. poverty, stopping war, healthcare. Instead of things that don't like gay marriage, "Terrorism", religion. We could get alot more accomplished.

Amen! People need to do more good and less complaining.

The schools and government can call the holiday whatever they like but I will always say Merry Christmas.

I agree, less complaining and more action towards things that really need addressing! People just get into an uproar about things like this for attention. He must be pretty insecure if he thinks a few Christmas carols are going to completely change his son's beliefs.

While I respect his right to raise his child with their beliefs, he cannot impose them upon the other students in his sons class.

Teaching tolerance, respect and diversity begins at home.

Eggnog is not religious -- but I sure love it! Free eggnog for everyone!

My grandchildren are home schooled because my daughters do not like what is being taught in the schools and what isn't being taught, so people do have that option.

Why do people do this? They make a BIG deal out something so wonderfull as Christmas is. I mean really even Charlie Brown and Snoopy would agree this is stupid! I hate it when people do this. CHristmas is just as fun as the other Holidays that we might not celebrate. Why can't they/we be treated equal?
