Well, yeah, in some places it's been very commercialized, but for the most part I think it's still a very Christian holiday. Yeah, I'l grant you the fact that forty years ago the line to get into a church on Christmas morning was probably a bit longer, but there're still the people who send out religious Christmas cards (Christ for Commercialization) and go to church. I live in Miami, so we don't exactly have a flood of carroler, but I'm sure in other states choirs go around singing from door to door.

But do you think it still imposes or affects us to be more Chrisitian and subliminally like Christianity?

Do you think having Christmas an state holidays endorses Christianity in any way?


Maybe in some ways but it isn't really Christmas that is celebrated. Most people exchange gifts and get a tree but they do not celebrate the birth of Christ. Remember that many atheists also celebrate christmas.

I think the teachers took things personal and they should not have, as they were not meant to be personal. But teachers make mistakes as we all do, and they have a really tough job, kids are out of hand (but it was worse when I was a kid, we used to sit in a circle on the playground and smoke dope). We need to give them teachers some lea way.

There will always be a gray erea between tolorance and offense, and I will always usually side with tolorance.
