You want to know something AWFUL about Wal-Mart?

My husband (now my husband) - it used to be at one time Aggr3 was my husband, but now he is my dearest friend instead... anyway *coughs and get's back on topic* It used to be that my husband worked there. About a year ago, as it was the only other place of employment besides the place that I worked in this little town of Dayton Tennessee....

Anyway. He came home one night - it was around the 15th of December, and he WOKE ME UP at 2am in order to tell me that Wal-Mart had and was continuing to have church groups singing in their store.... The speakers were right next to his cash register, and he could barely hear. They weren't singing X-Mas songs, oh no.... they were singing choir hymns and about the "wrath of god"...

He was offended, and went to his manager and cited freedom of religion in the workplace. (He was actually more upset about the level of the noise, and that it was hurting his ears.... but those aren't sufficient grounds to complain...) Nonetheless he was given a verbal warning that Wal-Mart was a Christian operation and that he had better curb his tongue quickly.

...oddly enough - two days later one of my employees was shopping there and she got accused of shoplifting (was VERY clear on the tape - I saw it) because she didn't catch her 3 YEAR old CHILD dropping a little toy in a bag.  Funny enough the same Christian business doesn't allow children to not know better and she was immediately arrested.

Then again, this was in the same town that was publicized on CNN for attempting to pass an ordinance forbidding gays from living or working in their town. ... I'm lucky I got out without a cross being burnt on my lawn, or a hanging...

why?

I thought I would throw in a quote.
It is a worthy thing to fight for one's freedom; it is another sight finer to fight for another man's. -- Mark Twain
The Walmart employ was right many of the Christmas traditions are not of Christian origin.Or even from Judism.But try getting that across to a Baptist preacher.

ooooooooooh... good point!

There are more religions that have a significant holiday at xmas and Channukah than just Christianity and Hebrew.

And athiests and agnostics are most likely (if they are celebrating) doing it for the sense of family and giving, rather than the birth of Christ (which most scholars agree was in the spring, however that would have made it much more difficulty for the King to convert over the pagans from there heathenistic ways).

What do scholars have to do with the BIBLE.  You either believe it or not,
there is no in between.

I wont shop at walmart since they are too good to say Merry Christmas. You dont believe in Christ.. FINE.. Dont ruin it for everyone else. Sorry to say, this is America, and Christmas is our holiday. Screw a Wal Mart.
