You mean we need to stop using the word Christmas and letting the Salvation Army collect donations in front of stores because everyone isn't a Christian? Why?

I SAID I like XMAS songs but not right after Halloween. And the reason I don't like them that early is because merchants are trying ever more to capitalize on the alleged "good cheer" of the Xmas season in order to sell more products, further commercializing a special time of year.

So why did you blame you hearing Christmas songs in stores on evangelicals? Just looking for another reason to hate one of the groups you have a bias against?

I complain that I am tired of the religious right imposing their POV on my way of life

Just exactly how are you imposed on by the religious right? They can't compel you to become a Christian. They can't make you celebrate Christmas. They aren't even able to keep you from aborting your kids if you want to. They can't keep Chris from visiting prostitutes. They can't punish you for having homo sex if you want. What exactly are they doing to you or preventing you from doing? I don't think you can name anything - I think you're just looking for an excuse for your intolerance.

Studies show that conservatives and religious people are happier, enjoy better physical and mental health, and are more charitable.

Love to see the study.....I'm sure you have a link.
