Holidays are for atheists. It's "Merry Christmas" when you're talking to me or I'll punch you in the face.

But if someone clocked you for saying "Merry Christmas" as opposed to, say, "Happy Haunnakah," it would no doubt be a hate crime, and persecution of the highest order, correct?
Never come to Sweden, m'kay. For many reasons, one of wich is that we say "God Jul" and not "Merry Christmas". You'd spend all your time here in jail for assault.
Oh, and that word "God" is NOT the same as the English word "God". It means good, nice.
Isn't "holiday" a form of "holy day", ie a religious day? Nothing for atheists, in other words.
Oh yeah! No worries. I almost always use the phrase Merry Christmas at this time of year and by saying it I just mean enjoy a few days off from work, hope you get some nice new gifts, eat, drink and be merry and generally, party on. So I would have no particular problem saying it you. There's not some other thing it should mean when greeting violent people is there?
Good grief. Do you know why I wish people Happy Holidays? Because from Thanksgiving (or, heck, Halloween lately...) through New Years, it's the holiday season. I'm not going to wish somebody a Merry Christmas when it's three weeks until the friggin holiday. The 24th and 25? Sure, I say Merry Christmas. Otherwise, it IS 'the holidays', even to Christians.

Yep, the first wave in the war on Christmas.
Go right ahead, I've been needing to get some dental work anyway, and of course the settlement will also pay off my car. Then I'll slap a Darwin fish on the car that you paid for and send you a picture to decorate your cell.
Yep, that's what baby Jesus would do, for sure.
Peace on Earth. Good will towards men. And fuck you too.
Holidays = Holy Days.
Dipstick.
@aaa: "Last time a guy tried to punch me, i ended up sending the poor bastard to the hospital with several stab wounds."
Sounds like a nasty business. I'm glad you came out of it OK.
Some twat tried to mug me once -- I dislocated his elbow. To be fair, at the time I didn't even know it was possible to dislocate an elbow. It was icy underfoot and he turned out to be both clumsier and lighter than me. Ho hum.
It's "Merry Christmas" when you're talking to me or I'll punch you in the face.
Ahhh, that Christian love. Why would you punch somebody in the face who's trying to be nice to you? Do you have a big "I'm a Christian" painted on your forehead? If you do, you're a holier-than-thou asshole who needs to reread Mat. 6. If you don't, why would you expect everyone to know you celebrate Christmas as opposed to the various other holidays around the solstice?
Go ahead and do that, I'll send you my medical bill, sue for pain and suffering, and make damn sure you serve hard time for assault, and possibly a hate crime.
=D Feel the Christian lurve! Wonderful holiday spirit...I could imagine this guy just walking out of the store after paying for his goods when...
"Happy Holidays, Sir!" said a cheery cashier who is looking forward to her retirement at the age of eighty. She has two children and three grandchildren and does charity work in her spare time.
"HOLIDAYS ARE FOR ATHEISTS!" And in the next second, sacto_northern-cal punches the cashier in the face.
sacto_norther_cal is imprisoned for assault and we have one less nut-job on the streets.
Happy holidays, everyone! ^^
Punch me in the face because I say something other than "Merry Christmas" and I nail you for both assault and a hate crime.
Happy (belated) solstice, all!

Well I think it's just the cover of his Christmas album, but damn, you're right!
But again, people like this is why I train protection dogs.
And they say that we atheists are waging a war on Christmas..look what these people do..it seems every year goes by more and more people get nastier and nastier.
Besides, you punch me in the face and you will wake up in the hospital with your children crying over you.
"Holidays are for atheists. It's "Merry Christmas" when you're talking to me or I'll punch you in the face."
Happy Holidays, cuntbubble. Go ahead. Do your worst. You're arrested for assault, tried & found guilty, then you become everyone's bitch & cumdumpster in jail. Oh, and I'll sue your arse into oblivion too. Your so-called fundie 'pride' worth all that? Go on. I won't even fight back. How's that for 'turning the other cheek'? But my mobile phone has '999' (US: '911') on speed dial, and I'll certainly be able to speak to the police.
Again, Happy Holidays, and have a fucking awful 2010, you shit-for-brains Internet Tough Guy fundie cunt.
That's "Holiday", you bitch!
We celebrate Holiday. We enjoy vast plates of steaming noodles covered in His loving marinara. We drink his Pirate brew of choice, Grog. We dress in Pirate Gear and go plundering.
Avast to ye all.
@aaa
I'd love to watch you poke holes through this big tough man!
If someone punches me in the face for no reason, tend to punch back..... and keep punching untill they stop begging for mercy.
Sacto needs to hope he doesnt start his shit in my town
The fundy I work with is on vacation. Rats.
I can't wait to find out what happens when I tell these chuckleheads "Happy New Year".
("* G A S P * Worshipping nature! It's of the world. Pagan! Heathen! Yer agoin' ta HHAILLLLL!" ...and a punch in my face.)
...I'll punch you in the face.
'Cause it's always better to give than receive, right?
However, the cops will have a gift for you too: a shiny pair of bracelets with a matching chain. You can wear them as they take you to a room with three concrete walls and bars for the fourth.
To quote James Rolfe (aka the AVGN), "If you're not okay with Merry Christmas, then Happy Holidays! And if you're not okay with Happy Holidays, then Happy Shut The Fuck Up."
I wish people a Merry Christmas, even though I'm an atheist. If I met you, though, I'd say "Fuck you." cause rude assholes don't deserve politeness.
I, too, am an atheist who wishes people Merry Christmas. It's pretty harmless, as far as I'm concerned.
sacto-whatever, on the other hand, can take his Merry Holidays and shove it up his arse.
Hey, I take offence to that! I'm an Atheist and I'd get pissed at someone using Happy Holidays! Then again, Christmas is really just about the decorations and gifts these days, there's no religion left in it.
Oh, jeez.
For the rest of the world, not all of us Sacramento-area folks are like this person. In fact, almost all of us are not.
Internet tough guy award, indeed.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
