I read your posts. One of them was your response to chaney3. My question in response to what you said is this: do you think that people from different religions should not wish each other well on their respective special days?

I meant you've read my posts over the past months... you should know I'm not going to get drawn into your silly little games

The question lies at the very heart of this thread's substance and it is a direct response to something you decided to contribute to it. There are no "silly games" on my part. Do you actually believe that Christians who think Muslims are mistaken should not be saying stuff like"Happy Holidays" to them - on account of what they think about that religion? You said you "agree" with another poster who suggested this. Serious question, not "silly".


@karoly-aczel said
I agree
That "I agree" by you was in response to this: "As a Christian, you're likely saying "Happy Holidays", but in the back of your mind you're saying "fools". Get real Dive."

Let's take the 'Christian' aspect out of it, if you want. I don't think Muslims are "fools", but would you say I need to "get real" - as an agnostic atheist - instead of wishing my Muslim neighbours well on their religious holiday?

I have answered ... couple of times.

I believe one of the answers was "I dont care"

I could be wrong


I'll wish people well when I wish them well. It's based on merit and nothing else.

What is the "merit" of a national religious holiday?

You are wriggling like a prideful RHP Christian who's blurted something out he or she doesn't want to stand by.

I wish my Muslim work colleagues and neighbours and taxi drivers and shop assistants etc. I wish them well on religious holidays when applicable. I don't share their Islamic faith. Would you do the same?

What does "not religiously" mean when you use it in this context?

are you serious?

it means I wouldn't do it just because of what society may or may not think
