If you don't stand for something

Oh god, and I do not mean that god, I mean once again the shopping season and buying crap for people you may not really like very much, is being ruined by the religious nutjobs who want everyone to be like them, lemmings and hypocrites.

Why take this website as an example.

Yikes I say. They review stories for the Christmassy attitude? Their love of Jeeezuuus? Huh? Do these religious crazies really not know that everyone loves christmas because we get toys and other shit? I mean, really?

Look what they say about Borders. First, Borders is a terrible store for a variety of reasons, low pay for workers, boring choices and lack of originality and just the box support of bad architecture, but for not respecting the holiday? Anyway, here is what the sheep say about Borders:

I tried to find a children's book about the birth of Christ and could not find any. They had a Christmas display table but it was all about santa!

We had a group from our church who gathered to go Christmas caroling and were invited in to a Pittsburgh PA Borders. When we arived, they told us that they were pleased that we were there to entertain thier customers, but that we could not sing any religious songs. I no longer shop Borders. I also believe that our responsability goes beyond not shopping. We should be writing individual letters to the corporate management to state that until policies change, they have lost our business.

I am slightly offended by Border's lack of incorporation of Christmas in their ad's. I am a member of the Border's Rewards Club but will not be shopping at Borders this Christmas and upcoming year unless a public outreach and apology is issued to all Christians and believers of Christmas.

I find it offensive that this store is so eager to have our money but neglects to honor the holiday. I won't shop here and as much as possible shop in Christian book stores. Borders has an agenda and it is nothing to do with Christian values.

We saw "Holiday" trees, "Holiday" this & "Holiday that, but the ONLY mention of "Christmas" was on 2 of their gift cards. Very disappointing!

More Bibles!


These people make me kind of sick and kind of envious. Maybe if they could remove their robes for a minute, they could imagine if instead of a magic man in the sky they were Jews, they would see all the happy holiday crap as an insult for a variety of other reasons.

Or Muslim. Imagine the whole xmas crap from the eyes of someone other than your own god.

In our capitalistic society, why not just admit the someone other than a child molesting priest is using religious holidays to make money?
