Ah
I see
I understand why conservatives, who are Christians, want to send only Christmas cards, if they feel that being messianic is more important than the possibility that they might be offending people of other religions, or of no religion. It's a free country, and we all the right to offend each other in many ways. Religion is just one more way to get up your neighbor's, or coworker's, or relative's nose. I don't send "HAHAHA God probably doesn't exist" cards to people, even though I suppose I could. I prefer the "Season's Greetings" message, since people can read into it what they want. But then I don't think agnostics are particularly messianic. What message are we going to be serving up? "God MIGHT not exist, but then again he might- although the evidence so far indicates he or she probably doesn't, unless you want to say God is the same thing as the "laws" that govern the universe, in which case maybe it does..."

It's just not the kind of message that makes people roll on the floor, speak in tongues, and want to handle snakes- know what I mean?
