Actually, I happen to like Xmas songs but not the day after Halloween. Why? Because I know its an attempt by businesses to cash in on the holiday as early as possible. Then why did you badmouth evangelical Christians for the activities of merchants? Just looking for an excuse, I think. What about the 25% of the non Christians who are confronted with Xmas at every turn? Does their opinion not matter to you at all? It certainly doesn't to the evangelicals. I think 25% is a bit high. Maybe you're talking from the vantage of a blue state. But I will reiterate - Nobody is forcing you or anyone else to accept Christianity or celebrate Christmas. Distaste at seeing others celebrate Christmas is bad-hearted intolerance. My point is that its never enough for the religious right. Its not enough that there are XMAS displays in every nook and cranny. Its never enough that two months of the year.....1/6 of an entire year is devoted to this holiday. Instead, they want more.....they want everyone saying Merry XMAS to everyone......Jews, Muslims, Agnostics, atheists included. They want everyone to agree that Jesus was the messiah and we must all celebrate his b-day whether we like it or not. NO ONE is demanding non-Christians become Christian or celebrate Christmas. You are simply intolerant and outraged at seeing so much activity that reminds you that our society has many Christians in it. This disturbs you the same way seeing black people disturbs racists and seeing Jews disturbs antiSemites. People upset at Christmas are bigots, pure and simple. They don't want to tolerate anyone who has a different view. That is my point and that is what I am tired of. That's actually the case with people like you who are disturbed at seeing others celebrate Christmas. Why can't you all tolerate the differences among us instead of trying to drown them all out so that only one view is left.....yours? I repeat. No one is trying to suppress any views except for the secularists like yourself who want Christians to just be quiet because seeing and hearing them disturbs you.
