Kay,

Up till now I thought you were quite reasonable in your comments. Wasn't just you the other day that were outraged about the toning down of Christmas?

You can't have it both ways unfortunately. You can't be a bit pregnant... What is Christmas to you really? Another celebration like weddings and funerals?

What annoys me is that people like you (the majority of oz)- 'nominal christians'- give a bad impression to the outside world.

I don't understand your outrage defending something that obviously means not much to you anyway.

Since you liked the car analogy - you sound like someone buying car insurance when they don't own a car just to feel good and safe. Christianity is not something you belong to or a set of values ... it’s something you 'wear’with pride daily.

But I won't go further since I think you do not live in Sydney – and it seems you are just here to have fun.

My goodness me "Coach"

You are a very angry and hostile woman. Does that represent hate?

You have no idea of my internal belief system. Your gross assumptions are so erroneous, they are not worthwhile replying to.

I take gross exception to any Islamic group who wishes to "tone down" Christmas - and take the Christ out of Christmas. I pray for my family and others every day. My Mother is a committed Christian and I love her for that. And I love the Christian values that she gave me. That does not mean that I do not have an analytical mind.

I do not subscribe to a commercial Christmas. I make my own presents and my own cards - they are all individual - and I write them with love. I do not use the term Xmas.

I was really shocked with your reply to me. My goodness, you are so aggressive.

I change my mind whenever I feel like it. That's what learning is all about. That's what OLO is all about - learning from others.

You have really come out of the woodwork! I guess that you and Irf will make a good team?

Merry Christmas
Kay

Kalweb & Boaz,

Not sure what the issue is or was but no Muslim should be offended
by Christmas celebration. It might offend Boaz but we are jesus followers as well:-)

Merry Christmas to you and to all who celebrate it.

Kay

My name is DIANNE and my OLO tag is SCOUT. You seem to be confusing me with Coach, who, so far as I know is not called Dianne and I very much doubt is female.

Cheers

Dianne

Kay,

Aggressive moi? See what most people believe that Christians should roll with the punches and give the other cheek, well that may be so….but what they don’t know is what happens when they are slapped again and again…How many bombs will it take to get the message? (Don’t answer that.)

And by the way I am not a woman – so much for your ‘analytical mind’.

I’ll try to be loving from now on.

I pray that Jesus will prove real to you this Christmas.

Fellow_Human,

We meet again huh? What are you trying now? Are you saying that you follow my Jesus now?

Am I missing something? Or have you miraculously made a decision to follow Emmanuel (God with us), The redeemer of humanity from their original sin, The giver of grace, The one who took our place on the cross so we can have eternal life, The one that is to come and judge the world, The creator of the universe, The one who is sitting at the right hand of God The Father,…

Or is this one other trick to trap us into your "Religion of Peace"?

Get Real! This is God we are talking about.

Merry Christmas to you too

Kay

if and when you see or hear of a group of islamists lobbying to respect Aussie xtian xmas tradition, and not subdue it, lemme know... if you don't i think its safe to say all the nice fluffy talk from so called moderates is foo foo
