On the subject of Crhistmas cards, I posted a card to a guy that worked me (he was on holiday)he was about 26 and lived with mum & dad. The card had an air bruch picture of a parcel with a pair of stockinged legs bursting out of the top.
I recieved a ‘phone call from the guys father informing me that he did not appriciate pornography being forced through his leter box and that I was a discusting pervert.
I wouldn’t mind, but I’ve never met him.

Its supply and demand. If people wanted a religious message they would buy those sort of cards and they would be manufactured in greater numbers. The fact that most people prefer non-religious messages shows how out of touch Dog Shit is on this as on so much else.

I want Christians who want to celebrate Christmas with Christian tradition and meaning to be free to do so without fear of censorship of persecution.
However it’s a shame many of those Christians do not wish to afford me and others the same freedom to live my life how I choose and wish to impose censorship and persecution on me and others simply for doing or saying things they dissaprove of.

Maybe we should bombard Green with lots of non-religious Christmas cards? It amazes me how Christians fail to realise that Xmas is in no way a Christian festival, just a mish-mash of pagan festivals and late 19th/early 20th century traditions with a religious bit tacked on back in the early days if Christianity to try and persuade the pagans to convert. Which is why some Christian denominations don’t celebrate it at all!

By the way did he really say “those who design and manufacturer Christmas cards”? Grammar not his strong point. Or is it the Mails mistake?
