^ Why is it stupid for stores not to say it when there are other religious holidays that go on at the time? What if all stores suddenly started advertising
"Happy Hunnukah" and said nothing about Christmas? I bet Christians would get pissed then. It seems like many of them want it the way they want it
but don't accomodate others. Plus, a lot of people celebrate the festivities of the holidays while not necessarily celebrating the strict meaning of
'Christmas.'
And I understand the religious issue of gay marriage, but no one is asking churches to marry homosexuals, so I don't get the big deal. It's primarily
about equal rights (i.e. taxes, health care, etc.). What right is it of Dobson to say I can't marry another male and get the same health care coverage,
tax incentives, etc. that other married couples do? How does my getting married directly affect him? Since they don't want gay couples to marry, can gay
couples stop paying taxes that go to the health care coverage, schools, etc. for straight people? Wait. They probably want our money, just not to give us
rights
Agreed on both points. The problem with these Christian groups is that they want the whole world to go along with their beliefs- that because they believe gay
marriage is wrong, the government must as well, and because they celebrate Christmas, Jews should just shut up about their inferior holiday or something.
