I used to be a
Christian. I was a
Catholic. I used to celebrate both "
Christian" and "
Jewish" holidays (
Judaism being the root of
Christianity). I then realized how
corrupt and
manmade I found the
Catholic religion to be. I then converted to a weird
modern church for nearly
ten years. After all that was when I realized that I had never been to a church that wasn't
corrupt or
false. That's when I became a
deist and I now let people wish me whatever happy thing they want for
two reasons:
- Especially Christmas, but yes even Hanukah has become extremely commercialized. So much that they have no real meaning to me anymore. I know there are people who take Christmas and/or Hanukah very seriously but most really don't. Atleast not big corporations.
- No matter what holiday it is, as long as they are wishing you a happy one, it is good intentioned. C'mon, just be polite, and respect their religion. I still attend mass with my parents when I visit them. Just to be polite an respect their religion .
