So to sum up.
The popular belief that a celestial Hebrew baby who is also his own father, born from a virgin mother, died for three days so that he could ascend to heaven on a cloud and then allow you to live forever only if you symbolically eat his flesh, drink his blood and tell him you accept him as your lord and master so he can remove an evil force from your spiritual being that is present in all humanity because an immoral woman made from a man's rib was hoodwinked by a talking reptile possessed by a malicious angel too secretly eat forbidden fruit from a magical tree.

No. Don't dodge it. It's a serious question. What's wrong with the profits, and sales, and job creation, and bonuses etc. etc. at Christmas?
It trivializes Jesus. Yes, I know that doesn't bother you.

No. Putting the word Christians in quotation marks, as you do, is pretty much as self-righteous as you can be. That's the reason.
It's not "self-righteous".

Jesus himself said he would say "I never knew you" to those people.

The Good Samaritan upheld Jesus' teachings better than these "Christians".

Would you prefer "CiNO"?

No. Maybe you could someday listen to what I say instead of engaging in your juvenile gamesmanship?

I save my scorn for people who pour out their scorn on others, for no other reason than they think it makes them popular. Of course you would take issue with that.
