Hon...Yeah, that's a good way of looking at it. Honestly I try to be respectful of that fact best I can until some people begin to get in your face and rant about Christmas and Christianity being under attack. That's when I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut. A lot of people have problems accepting a shift in what they've taken for granted as standard. I would say a majority of people in fact. <br /><br />Congrats on finding Hanukah candles.Seshetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008776492991385919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875687369844272582.post-57835559112978656582011-12-21T13:40:18.280-06:002011-12-21T13:40:18.280-06:00Yes, that's exactly what I meant. I don't ...Yes, that's exactly what I meant. I don't think you're confused at all! <br /><br />Now, I would (probably) say that being exposed to other truths and questioning your own truths is part of growing up: I'm not saying that we should treat people who want to say "Merry Christmas" as if they were fragile children who have to be kept from the truth because it's an ouchie for them.<br /><br />BUT we should still recognize that it's an ouchie for them, even if it's a necessary ouchie. <br /><br />I kinda feel like we can say, at the same time, a) "yeah, this is difficult" and b) "but you gotta do it."Benjamin Blattberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163091516093037765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875687369844272582.post-45508456591694583322011-12-21T10:42:20.571-06:002011-12-21T10:42:20.571-06:00Just to clarify, you are saying that part of the &...Just to clarify, you are saying that part of the "Not so ridiculous" notion of the "War on Christmas" is that those who have grown up never having to question their customs because they were considered, "mainstream" and therefore default truth are now exposed to the ideas of other paths? <br /><br />That sounds really confusing when I read it back to myself.Seshetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008776492991385919noreply@blogger.com
