1) Actually, if you did some research you would know that Christmas has nothing to do with "Jesus' birthday". Shows how truly unread you are.

Pre-Christian Roman Traditions:
Much of what people associate with Christmas, a holiday that is supposed to be about the birth of Jesus, actually pre-dates Christianity. Traditional Christianity celebrates the death of holy people, not their birth. In 274 CE, though, pagan emperor Aurelian proclaimed Decemer 25th Natalis Solis Invicti, the festival of the birth of the invincible sun. Saturnalia already occurred around this time along with many other celebrations. Christians took over this and other Roman festivals.

2) You cannot speak for my love of Christmas, no more than I can speak for your love of your gun collection.

3) I'm part of that group of wacked out group of liberals you are a alluding to, so I am within my rights to dispute this generalization.

4) Yes, you are out of your mind.
