• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Will someone let me know when the War on Christmas starts this year.

Do you feel put upon because you can not force people to say "Happy Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays"? Do you feel like someone is attacking Christmas if they say "Happy Holidays"?
I would challenge you to find any post where I have encouraged forcing anyone to say anything of the sort. Failing that, all apologies will be accepted :wave:

I think you need to enter rehab for your addiction to that smiley.
We never stopped and our doomsday devices are working. Don't people know that global warming is very real and intentional. Once there is no snow at the north Pole then Santa is Dead and Christmas will soon follow.
Shhh...

I find this whole concept hilarious since Christmas was a conscious war on pagans.
Perhaps you need to study up on what an addiction really is :wave:
Perhaps you should study up on what a joke is.

People will continie to enjoy Christmas due to the efforts and vigilance of those fighting in opposition to the War on Christmas

No, my enjoyment of my holidays have nothing to do with your little war.

You celebrate your war. I will fortify myself with eggnog, will arm myself with greenery and a hot glue gun, and go forth to commit all kinds of festive mayhem this Christmas season.

Just out of curiosity, does your idea of the War on Christmas include non-Christians who choose to celebrate it in some way?

The good news is there is help! The ever-useful Wikihow community has stepped forward to provide light in this dark hour.

Some people just have a lot of feeeeeellllss.
That the left views the commercialization of Christmas as the true meaning of the holiday goes a long way toward explaining the war on the actual meaning of Christmas
Since when are CEOs on the Left?

In my culture, a joke is funny :wave:
Ooh, burn.

The way I see it, winter festivals are being taken back from the Christians, but the Christian terms such as "Christmas" are harder to abandon than the religious beliefs because the labels themselves are not of consequence.

Which explains why you go through so much trouble to manufacture the war in the first place :wave:

Sticking our heads in the sand will only allow escalation of the War on Christmas

Wait a minute... sand? Isn't it waaaay to soon for the Fake War On Memorial Day stuff? :D
