Point taken.

I guess many people make the assumption that saying Merry Christmas is just another example of insensitivity to the fact that other religions do exist besides Christianity.

Not that it matters since the holiday is hardly accurate or even celebrated correctly.

I wonder how many Christians would accept a friendly "Happy Hannukah, Blessed Eid, Solemn Tet, Happy Kwanzaa, Festive Diwali".....etc.

eh, maybe they would, but mostly I'd bet on a wrinkling of nose and an off-put response.

I honestly think this time of year is a giant pain in the ass, and would welcome a solid day of airing of grievances and awesome feats of strength.

I say Happy Holidays because around here we actually have people of different faiths and you can't always be sure what people celebrate.

Shame on you...as an anti-religionist, why do you even acknowledge other people's beliefs?

I am actually, for the first time, facing the dilemma of the "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" situation...

I used to always say "Merry Christmas" but because of my beliefs changing, and because I know not everyone else celebrates this holiday, I am trying to stick to "Happy Holidays" this year...

It isn't because I'm afraid of offending someone, because I bite my tongue for nobody (I'm sure this is apparent)... but it's an internal conflict because I don't really believe I should be celebrating the holiday at all...

To get back on topic... The firemen should have burnt it down instead of removing it... They could have used it for practice or something! ;)

(just kidding... I'm flame baiting (pun intended))

I've been raised agnostic and my family has never celebrated christmas. This is actually my first christmas due to my brother getting married so we're exchanging gifts as not to make his fiance uncomfterable.

When it comes right down to it, it guess they are right that nativity scenes shouldn't be displayed on public property and I geuss I'm okay with it. But I would never do that.

I believe in seperation of church and state, but not to that degree. Just keep religon out of public schools; prevent religous descrimination and I'm happy. A nativity scene isn't opressing or offending anyone IMO, even it it's on public property.

Sounds like a lot of work for something that shouldn't have been on state property using state funds (assumption) in the first place.

But if that makes you rollers happy with the whole covert christian ops boner then knock yourselves out.

And Happy Holidays.

FVCK that sh!t!!!!! This is America, the country I served, and if I want to say Merry Fvkcing Christmas, then by GOD ALL MIGHTY I am going to do so.

I should not have to bite my tongue or beliefs because others feel theirs are more important. That is what this Country is supposed to be about in the first place. Land of freedom.

I don't give a sh!t how other people celebrate, or what they choose to celebrate, but I do give a damn when those other people demand a change in the way I celebrate,and even further what, or how to say what I want to say.

End of story.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
