		<description>it&#039;s interesting to hear in the UK that the head of the equalities commission has basically called for christ to be put back into christmas. rather than people feeling embarrassed about the mono-christian celebrations of the past - now we celebrate so many different religious feasts we don&#039;t need to feel bad about including christmas as a christian festival.</description>

		<description>I think respect is the key here. While I may not celebrate the religious aspects of various holidays that I personally don&#039;t hold to, that does not give me the right to speak poorly of individuals that do. As a believer, I have no obligation to accept another person&#039;s beliefs if they don&#039;t mesh with mine. That disagreement, however, needs to be approached with humble and personal dialog rather than ignorant and stereotypical condemnation. Good post.</description>
