And in the late 1930's and early 40's in Germany, "Heil Hitler" would represent your point as well?

I respectfully disagree. If someone came up to me and said, "Happy Earth Day!" I would not return the greeting in kind, but I would also not be overtly rude by my response, if any; however, no matter how supposedly impeccable your manners, sacrificing your core beliefs in the name of politeness is helpful to no one and misleading to all.

My objective, as unto the Lord Jesus Christ, is to help others think about why they live in denial of Him and His Father, along with God the Holy Spirit. God, in this context, exists and is so divisive because it penetrates to the very bones and marrow of your physical being and rumbles around in your frontal lobe, disturbing the paganistic system of thought of non-believers.

I cannot make anyone change their mind, and the existence of God can be denied; however, not extinguished from man's thinking. The most convincing proof of this is the conviction that some thought processes in life are right and some are wrong (the moralistic argument for God as some have called it). A society cannot exist without absolutes and the difficulty that many on this forum have with what they see going on and want to "Go Gulch" is because there are absolutes that you cannot deny, set in place by institutions God has established from His creation of man. For the pagan (defined as one who does not believe in the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Lord Jesus Christ as presented in the New Testament (just in case there is any confusion as to the God I am referring)), it is simply a matter of denial, not whether He exists.

I have no chips, axes to grind, or anything else, but to communicate the philosophy I believe and that God has established in light of the topics shared not his forum, similar to what followers do with respect to Ms. Rand.

"The reverse is also true." How so?

What chip are you referring to?

If anyone can make Christmas to mean whatever they want, then it means nothing, so why even say anything?

This is a classic case of secular humanism embracing relativism to its logical conclusion.

You really need to get over yourself. Even the venerable AR understood the necessity for good manners. In this case, a greeting of Merry Christmas to those who are Christian is just being civil. Just like I wish my Jewish friends a "Happy Hanukkah" and a "Ramadan Mubarak" to my Muslim friends.

Ms. Rand should have used another word like "Merry Merriness," not "Christmas." I would argue that any recognition of Christmas in any sense whatsoever is antagonistic to an atheist's premises for existence or even thought.
