Subject: RE: MORE ON de-Xing Xmas - continued
Mrrzy, We are exposed to lots of things and many types of music etc every day of the year, whether we want to or not. You can't even get put on hold on the telephone without hearing some kind of music. We also have the promotion of Valenties Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Secretary Day etc. do you feel these are being shoved down your throat ?. We have money that says "In God We Trust". As I said before we have all these things but we also have the freedom to ignore them if we so choose. I also find it hard to believe that out of 365 days a family cannot find at least one week-end to get together. As far as the christian country is concerned I do feel that the majority of the population consider themselves christian, whether they attend church or not. Did you notice how many people all over the world flocked to a church following the 11th September atrocity.

I don't care whether one is a christian or not, I am not here to convert anyone. I am a christian and get a little annoyed when chrisianity is being attacked at every opportunity when the easiest solution is to just ignore it and get on with your life. That's the way it is in some countries. It would be hard to live in Israel and not see signs of Judaism every day, or feel the presence of Allah in a Muslim country. If one lives in a predominately christian country you should expect christianity to be to the forefront at special times of the year.

Peace
