Best Buy wishes people a happy Eid, people get pissy.

[quote name='erasure25']Uhm WTF. You want someone to wish you a Merry Christmas? Go to your g.d. Church. Why does anyone seek religious fulfillment or religious justification from a commercial establishment that just wants your money? I'm fairly sure Jesus would scoff at what the Chrismas holiday has become: materialistic and selfish to the point where killing someone in a stampede is joked about.

Yes, please take your money elsewhere. Because you obviously have so much of it to make a difference.
I guess you better make sure that this new imaginary store you're going to doesn't employ atheists, doesn't provide domestic partner benefits to its employees, doesn't send jobs overseas to China, doesn't donate money to the DNC, doesn't support health care reform, doesn't exist, doesn't do anything....

Why doesn't Kmart wish me a Happy Flying-Spaghetti-Monster-Day? I am a Pastafarian afterall. Sniff.[/QUOTE]

Jesus wouldn't have approved of Christmas in the first place. It was a secular holiday for hundreds of years before him, and it remained a secular holiday for thousands of years after him. Times haven't changed.
 
Why would they put happy Eid anyway? It would make more sense to just say Happy Holidays to cover everybody than to pick a specific holiday. For some reason it reminds me of when white people try so hard to not look racist around black people to the point where they start acting racist towards white people. Reverse Racism if you will. It almost looks like reverse Religionism (is that a word?)
 
I have no problem with these people bitching on the Best Buy messageboards. My problem is that their IPs aren't being used to identify them, round them up and ship them off to a deserted island where they can't bother anyone else, along with all the Glenn-Beck-book buyers and Calvin-pissing-on-anything-decal owners.
