How long..

[Fidei Defensor]

Im thinking in less than a year.

Either that or they will name Christmas something else.

[StColette]

Ummm I'm not too sure

[Aloysius]

well, seeing as the politicians are all shaking in their boots afraid of the "religious right" and a bunch of them owe their elections to the dangerous "religious right" they're not going to change legislation that makes these national holidays.

HOWEVER, if the president fails to get a good judge on the court the ACLU might be able to find a way to do away with it through the judiciary :angry:

They will if we dont get a good judge. The ACLU is off their rocker when it comes to religious freedom.

[Aloysius]

now we're not sure if Bush'll get us a good pro-life judge, but I don't think he'll have much of a problem at least getting someone who's not extreme against religious freedom et cetera enough to vote to have these holidays not be national holidays anymore.

Ever notice how the ACLU and libs alike come to every religions aid except Catholics and Christians ,they are all fluffy for everyone else except us and it makes me sick . psh!!

[zwergel88]

I don't think that the ACLU wants to change the name of Christmas.

[reelguy227]

Me neither.

Well they sure dont like it when anyone in the public eye refers to the holiday by name.. No "Merry Christmas", they want it "happy holidays"

[homeschoolmom]

I don't think that Easter has ever been a national holiday.

[picchick]

I believe that they will remain National Holidays. Why wouldn't they be? Because of the separation of Church and state?

Well because Christmas is a distinctly Christian Holiday.

[DemonSlayer]

I don't think they'll ever change, just because the meaning's gone for most people doesn't mean the names will change.

[Carnanc]

I really don't see why they'd change. The culture just gives them a secular meaning.

Christmas break is now Winter Break. Easter becoming Vernal Equinox Day is right around the corner.

well in the public schools... Christmas is now, "Winter Holidays"... Easter break -- is now SPring break and for some schools does not coincide with Easter, at all...

[kateri05]

yea, they don't call it anything religious and sometimes go out of their way to put "spring break" no where near easter

[Birgitta Noel]

LOL, I don't know if I'd go that far Kat. At least in colleges spring break is generally the same time every year depending on the semester schedule at that school. It's Easter that moves!

[kateri05]

oh... well mine wasn't. easter was acually usally closer to the middle of the semester, but SB was the 2nd/3rd week of march when we started back in almost february. but if not all schools hate God, then yay!
