“At Christmas time, when Christians are trying to enjoy the peace and harmony of the birth of Jesus Christ, we have been attacked, in recent years, by retailers who are part of the body of the New Goliath.”
Oh, you poor pitiful put-upon VICTIM you.
Your favorite stolen pagan holiday is included with other holidays that you didn’t steal in the ‘Happy Holidays’ greeting, but having to share Solstice is AN ATTACK on you?
Good lord what a drama-martyr you are.
“After you dish out hundreds of dollars in their stores”
Um, is this materialism part of ‘the peace and harmony of the birth of Jesus Christ’ or something else?
“ their employees are instructed to throw Excrement Pie in your face, by saying "Happy Holidays" with a sheepish grin.”
IIRC, there are like 14 religious holidays between Thanksgiving and Presidents day. It’s a period of holidays. And when someone hopes you enjoy all 14 of them, you think you’re being treated as (and with) shit.
Please show us on the snowflake how you’re harmed by someone hoping you’re happy during Kwanza?
“Or they decorate their establishment not with Chrsitmas symbols, but using the Snowflake of David as the sole decoration.”
The snowflake of David? Mother of fuck, you use Christain Salt for cooking, don’t you?
And, really, what ARE the Christmas symbols? The magic elf and his flying ungulates? Those aren’t biblical. Snow, snowmen, snowballs? Not much snow in the Bible. Yule logs? Hanging Stockings? Any Christain symbols at Christmas?
“So if they would like to qualify for the 1% merchant fee, they must sign the contract which will include a requirement for its employees to be trained to say "Merry Christmas!" or "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" in the two weeks leading up to Christmas.”
Um, pretty sure that Legislating that people have to celebrate a Christian holiday would indeed be a violation of the 1st Amendment you sorry excuse for an American.
Now, if you were to shuffle it, so they said ‘happy boxing day’ for 2 days before Boxing Day, and ‘happy solstice’ for 2 days before Solstice, and ‘Happy Kwanza’ for each of the days of Kwanza, at least it wouldn’t be unconstitutional.
But i’d BET that it would only pass if there were exceptions to allow ‘happy holidays’ for people who are calendar challenged.
“And if an employee should accidentally throw Excrement Pie at a member using the Christian Clout card, the Christian Clout member would receive a $25 gift certificate in the store.”
Oh, my, you are SUCH a victim! Cannot STAND the fact that you’re not the be-all and the end-all of Saturnalia in its stolen form, nor the sole target of the entire industry for that materialist-gasm we call Christmas Morning.
