Hello Björn!

There is nothing for you to explain.

Because you arent surrounded by the BS over there that we get over here.

Its seems like every Christmas time, the atheists over here want to push any
religious aspect of the holiday deeper and deeper into the closet. Last year,
Walmart employees were forbade by management from saying "Merry Christmas" to
the shoppers, they had to say "Happy Holidays".

Every year, there is some raucus over displaying a nativity scene in the public
view in some US City or town, but its ok if they display a Jewish Menorrah.

and yes Bjorn, there are atheists who are so fucking rabid that they bristle
with anger when encountering things with religious connotations, even things
like what was contained within Hermans message, despite the fact that Herman
was trying to make the message as neutral as possible.

This is what Shannon was speaking to, and had you asked him what his basis was
for his remarks, he would have told you, instead you and Herman decided to
shoot first and ask questions later.

When you type a message, any message, do you always do so with perfect
foresight, do you always think people will always react a certain way?

If so I hear the Oracle At Delphi is looking for a replacement?

Why cany anyone put an "aside" in their messages or do they need your approval
first?

Careful Bjorn, none of us are perfect, that includes you btw.

No, atheists celebrate Christmas, they celebrate the party hardy portion of it.

I take it you are an atheist, but I bet you are giving and getting gifts this
year..
