    ok, i'm getting about sick of people not being able to express their religion anymore. Follow me on this... why are people not allowing carolers and santa clause, because they say that it takes away their freedom of religion, when it doesnt?! I mean, i don't care if you have a manoura on your front porch, or on national tv! it's just that they don't put their religion forward. Don't get me wrong, i don't care what religion people are. If the president put out a manoura instead of a christmas tree, i wouldn't care, we elected him! And think about this... If christians arent allowd to express christmas anymore, aren't they taking away OUR freedom of religion?? let me know what you all think...

    Well to be honest I'm not religious...though I have NO problem with anyone who does...unless they preach it to me in my face cuz that gets old fast. Ummm yeah America has its freedoms...but I hate to admit it....its not THAT free...there are people out there who will punish you if you dont believe in what they believe in. Which I find MAJOR BS, if your religious but not necessarily a certain religion as another person who is a different religion and doesnt approve of yours should just keep their mouths shut because they have no reason to judge. Again I'm not religious in anyway but its just my point of view.

    I celebrate christmas just fine with my reliegon and all....I am a christian so I celebrate christmas with my church and family...and after that i celebrate the holiday pursay...It does not mean that I forget everything...It is a time for giving and being happy....You don't have many days out of the year being overjoyed...So yeah, that is my opinion if it even was considered one.

    I don't celebrate Christmas.

    However other people putting up decorations and celebrating it doesn't bother me one bit. People should be allowed to believe in and celebrate anything that they feel they want to.

    If English/Americans etc visited say a Muslim country during one of their religious festivals that country wouldn't stop celebrating. Whereas in my local city a lot of shops, schools, police stations and work places were banned from putting up Christmas Trees/Decorations in case they offended someone of a different religion.

    I think this whole thing has gotten out of hand. If other religious people are that offended by Christmas then they shouldn't visit/live in a country that celebrates it!
