"Happy Holidays," is appropriate for a cashier to say to a customer because he is unaware of the customer's beliefs. The customer could celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas or another holiday during the month of December. By saying "Happy Holidays," the cashier is wishing the customer the best of luck and joy during the customer's holiday season. There is nothing wrong with the above scenario.
A problem comes into play when stores change their "Christmas Tree" sign to a "Holiday Tree" sign. This is one of the most brainless, unintelligent, dumb, silly and stupid ideas I have ever heard in my lifetime. A Christmas tree is a Christmas tree. It is not a Hanukkah tree nor is it a "Holiday" tree. People who celebrate Christmas put up a Christmas tree. Usually one would use a pine tree from the outdoors and bring it into the house. The tree would still be considered to be a pine tree until one would put ornaments on the branches. After the ornaments are on it can be considered a Christmas tree. The children of the house would then go into their little beds and sleep until morning. During the night a fat man with a white beard, red suit and black boots would jump down the chimney and leave presents for all the good children. This is the holiday we call Christmas. Never is it a "Holiday Tree," it is pine tree then Christmas tree.
The Jewish faith does not up a tree and decorate it, nor does any other holiday in December. Why not you ask? BECAUSE IT'S A CHRISTMAS TREE! You only put it up if you celebrate CHRISTMAS! A Jewish person would not put up a CHRISTMAS TREE because they do not celebrate CHRISTMAS! A person who celebrates CHRISTMAS would not put up a MENORAH because he celebrates CHRISTMAS and not HANUKKAH. What is so hard to understand?
Creating religious video games to spread the word of the Lord? We need to stop trying to convert others to our own preferred religion and respect other people’s beliefs. This type of "brainwashing" is directed towards children and teenagers in order to influence them at a young age.
I do not believe this game should be taken off the shelf because I believe in the concept of free speech. However, I do though believe that this is a low blow by the religious community trying to “brainwash” children to think a certain way. Using children as way to stay in power is used by dangerous dictators in past history.
