Christ IS a PROVEN HISTORICAL PERSON, BY ATHEISTIC AND AGNOSTIC SCIENTISTS, Jewish Historians and even Muslim historians, so you cannot argue he did not! SO WHY CAN'T THIS SEASON BE CALLED BY ITS HISTORIC NAME, *MERRY CHRISTMAS and NOTHING LESS!!! I thought this list was about OOo and NOT something Politically sickening!!!!!>:o *

Well, we had another Christian on the old OOo lists who complained that 
Christmas had solely pagan roots, but nothing to do with worshiping 
Jesus, hence he felt badly offended. For some this season seems to be 
about dogma rather than peace.
