I was merely changing the name of Christmas (december 25, Candlemas, Mid winters fest) to the Jewish Holiday. Still one day off for the fucker. Still give presents that you can't afford to give. Still the emphasis on the commercial marketing aspect.

Just renaming it in something other than the predominant religion's version of it.

Wouldn't that piss a bunch of people off ?

Yes, of course it would piss a bunch of people off.
People who don't like change.
People who never saw Christmas as a religious holiday in the first place.
Christians real and pretend.
People who just like getting pissed off about shit.

I take your point and it makes the "making a religious holiday a 'National Holiday'" concept easier to grasp.

Do you actually have a suggestion for the removal of the US Government and their attempts/successes at "establishing a religion"?

Yes, it's unConstitutional. Yes, it violates everything we *thought* this country was founded on. However, it doesn't seem to matter. There are countless court cases that should have been won that have been lost, because not enough people want this particular boat to be rocked.

The biggest difference between the "right" and the "left" in this country is that the "right" is organized and loud.
