ThunderJam Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Ok, it's given that syrus's initial example was a bit extreme (saying Happy Easter aint a big deal). That being said, I agree with most everything else syrus said. However i do agree with the whole thing about celebrating a holiday you don't even believe in. If the whole world celebrated Hannukah, eventually it would be so wacked, that the real meaning would be lost. Chocolote, bunnies - yea it's commercialized. Being commercialized isn't necesarily a bad thing. We could have all that and still recognize the true meaning of the holiday. However, when the commercialization ( <_< big word) becomes aimed at EVERYBODY, including the people not of that religion, that's where it becomes negative.

Everyone wins! Even the chocolate manufacturers.
AstroProdigy Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 What do you propose banning the celebration of Easter by people who haven't gone to church enough times in the year or converting the "heathens"?
