I find it wild that I was one of the first to upload this to the old MSN videos when it was competing with Youtube, and to Youtube (2/23/06, 1:52 long), and a lot of these are copied from my upload, but, Youtube wacked my upload :). Oh, well, at least it is out there for people to see, and that’s what really matters.

Merry Christmas All. Even militant atheists who believe they are nothing more than the product of randomness.
Merry Christmas All! Even the militant christians who hate everyone who doesn’t believe as they do.
I have seen several posts on Twitter in which people object to being greeted with Merry Christmas, primarily telling us they were Muslim, although there were doubtlessly some non-believers amongst them.
But Merry Christmas is as much of a simple greeting as a religious statement, something which tells you the greeter is wishing the greeted well, irrespective of religious sentiment. The idea that someone should get upset that someone else is wishing him well is as odd to me as it would be for our good friend from St Louis County wishing us a Happy Kwanza and us taking offense at that.
The Soviets, in their attempt to wipe out religion, pushed s’nov’im godom as their greeting, which means roughly “Happy New Year.” Nice, pleasant, and devoid of any religious sentiment.
Don’t be like Stalin!
Tis truly is a Merry Christmas, in that, at 7:28 AM EST, it’s 65.8º F outside!
And a Merry Christmas to you and yours, Mr Dana near Lexington, Kentucky!!!
Why anyone would be bothered by a warm, well-intended expression of good will is beyond me.
