In an attempt to end the so-called "War on Christmas"...

[rateyes]

How about the following as a greeting to each other during this time of year:

PEACE!

Does that offend anyone?

I mean, isn't that at least one of the stated goals of all the religions of the world, and isn't it the aim of all well-meaning people, regardless of whether they practice any religion or not?

1. Offend anyone?

Not me. Great idea.

[redqueen]

2. Warmonger-supporters would be offended, I'm sure.

Plus, you'd probably end up on the Pentagon's watch-list.

[rateyes]

3. Probably. But, my guess is..

I'm already on the list.

Peace.

7. No offense here

in fact, I like saying "Peace be with you" all the time (though often it is in Arabic)

[rateyes]

9. Doesn't the word "Islam"...

mean "peace?"

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

13. Yes

"Salaam" is found within it.

[rateyes]

15. Thanks.

I thought so.

Salaam.

how about saying whatever you want and NOT PLAYING THE RIGHTS GAME

Because it really is BS and we should all ignore their stupid little game.

[rateyes]

10. I agree...

I was suggesting that those who claim there is a "war" on Christmas in which they have engaged a make-believe enemy have as a premise of their religion--first proclaimed, according to their scriptures, by the angels at Jesus' birth---Peace on earth, good will to all.

I just wish they would follow their own teachings....

Not playing their games, just wishing peace to all.

8. I wanted to sign our Holiday cards like that

but my wife printed them off and mailed them before I had the chance. Oh well, I like the idea. Peace to all!
