[Connor mcloud]

If you're debating religion on a football forum on Christmas day
A.there's a good chance you're an atheist
B. Get a life,
C.youre pissed ( I am now )

I get that, but it is sort of an assumption that I celebrate it.

Not really mate, it’s just people being nice … there’s nothing wrong with that is there ?

Anyway, I’m a dyslexic Agnostic… I don’t believe in Dog

The Hebrews mate...

They get 8 days of presents, but it's jarg rubbish like clay dreidels and whatnot.

My point was that it's possible that 'an old white dude' could be Hebrew so how does one distinguish whether to say 'Merry Christmas' or 'Happy Hannukah'?

I see what you’re saying… My bad!

I'm an atheist and we do not celebrate the CHRISTmas, we do celebrate the Solstice on Dec 21 and do gifts on that day. Bit of a bugger as Mrs Hawtrey has a birthday on the 22nd. WE still say Happy Christmas to those who celebrate as we would say Happy Hannukah to those who celebrate that. Live and let live, etc...
However I do hate it when people assume and say Happy Christmas to me just because I am an old white dude!

Ok, let me ask this a different way and put you in a hypothetical scenario… For arguments sake, let’s say that you planned a international trip, and for a brief part you end up in Mecca during the annual Islamic Hajj Pilgrimage, and while site seeing, every single person passing you says: ‘Hajj Mubarak!’ Which means have a blessed pilgrimage.

Do you reciprocate the gesture by being generally nice and wish them well?

Or do you think: This is suppose to be my vaca and it makes you mad because everyone is assuming that you’re a Muslim man on a holy pilgrimage to find Allah?

@Yid4life, did Daniel Levy organise a big shindig for Hanunkkah at the stadium this year mate?

Not to my knowledge!

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal’s attempts to mark the start of Hanukkah have backfired spectacularly after both published images of candelabras with the wrong number of branches.

The two clubs issued ‘Happy Hanukkah’ messages on Instagram featuring 11 and seven-branched candelabras, respectively – instead of the correct nine-branched Hanukkiah.

Oy vey boychik! So they tried to do a mitzvah, but it ended up going meshuganah and now they look like a bunch of schlemiels!

Are non-Muslims allowed in Mecca?

Technically no, but you can still enter. But if they catch you, they'll give you fine or kick you out, depending...

And since the Saudi's bought the barcoded, Geordies are now the only non-muslims allow in. They get special 'Honorary Saudi Status' ...

 

[ste d' indica]

Agnostics are non committal fannies. Hoping that if a time of judgement comes they can wing it into eternal paradise by saying ‘well I never said you didn’t exist did I lad’

Innit.

If there is a just god, he'd let the atheists in ahead of those arse splintered shithouses.

11 - Thou shalt take a position, lest ye be judged a fanny.

Lake of fire for the lot of them.

point taken.
Obviously I wouldnt be in Mecca as they check you're Iqama before entering the city so only Muslims would be there but maybe if I was in Ryiadh and a Mutawa started beating me with a stick for not attending prayers that might be similar.

Is it being nice to assume you are the same religion as them just because you look like them? OR is it racial profiling or evangelism if they are not sure. Why do they feel the need to say anything?

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Out of interest, who do you say 'Happy Hannukah' to?

a couple of Jewish friends I work(ed) with
