The commercialisation of Christmas

[Mich the Tester]

I blame the Septics for that, and they aren't exactly lefties for the most part.

Well no, they think they aren't, but some of their biggest businesses seem to be run according to the dictats of some USSR central planning committee. But then you can blame the Septics for USSR planning committees, because Lenin was a big fan of Frederick W. Taylor.

I am disgusted by the ever increasing commercialisation of Christmas. It is supposed to be a celebration of the birth of Jesus, the son of GOD. Not some cheap event to be cashed-in on to the max. There is a reason why Jesus threw the money-lenders out of the temple. Think about that...

A Festivus for the rest of us....

So we're supposed to celebrate the idea that we were all guilty of sin before we were even born, and that god, who burdened us with that sin (which doesn't even make sense, but whatever...) had a child born which he then made suffer horribly to save us from our unearned, 'original' sin?

One of these reasons to celebrate chistmas actually is disgusting. Hint: it's yours!
