has to leverage Christianity's roots, but then conveniently ignores its pagan ones. Islam of course doesn't count as one of the Abrahamic Religions too.
as a jewish person every time someone wishes me a merry christmas i instantly lose 10 hp and enact my vengeance on the nearest available christmas tree
Why? What does your being Jewish have to do with religion? A lot of people and entities (hello, Britannica) seem to confuse Jewish and Judaism. One is a race comprised of multiple ethnicities and the other is an umbrella covering a variety pack of religious flavors. Your comment was funny, though, and if that's the reason, it's reason enough.
I really can’t understand this, would you be offended if a Christian wished you happy Hanukkah? I ask this as an atheist puzzled by the apparent double standards of competing religions.
This is fun watching this in 2023 hearing the classic "cultural Marxism" and "politically correct" before they condensed all their scary buzzwords down to just "woke."
I actually made the shift away from saying Merry Christmas a few years ago, not because I'm a Leftie Godless Heathen™ (although I am), but because when I said it reflexively to this one lady at the grocery store she thanked me for sticking it to the Liberals and standing up for Christianity and she started ranting about how people who say happy holidays are terrible and on and on and on, and I was like, I don't want to be associated with her or people like her, I'm never saying that again
I actually don’t think this helps, the best thing to do for culture war shit is to just ignore it and keep living your life as if you’d never heard them, otherwise you are adding to the us vs them world view they have and becoming part of the problem
@@josephknott6174 It's not us versus them, it's them versus us, and I don't want to be mistaken for someone who uses that kind of language as an inflammatory dog whistle against other people like me. I just want to live my life but now I have to be careful and watch my language so I'm not mistaken for a bigot. I'm not the one who drew the line but I know which side of it I'm going to stand on.
Back when England was a theocracy, the puritans actually did try to stop Christmas. They realised that Christmas was both pagan and Catholic. And it gave the poor a day off work. They did not like any of that.
@@istvankarolyfarkas6125 only the extremists went to the new world, after the theocracy collapsed and the monarchy was invited back and they could not cope.
It really does bare repeating that the only war on Christmas was carried out by hardline Protestants. The American bunch probably would have executed O'Reilly and Jones for heresy. Or at least flogged them for adulatory and moral indecency.
Let's all have a moment of silence for the brave soldiers that die every year in the war on Christmas. Without their sacrifice, Mariah Carey would finally breach containment.
As an observant Jew, I always find it quite ironic when the religious right uses the phrase "Judeo-Christian values" to justify imposing Christian values on the entire country, including Jews. And it outright bothers me when Ben Shapiro does this 🙄
@@samueldeadman5733The most important part of protect Judeo-Christian values is to not reflect on actual traditions nor the teachings of Jesus, but to take whatever you fancy happening and force it on Christians and Jews.
And the Fox presenters are like deer in the headlights, like they clearly didn't expect him to say any of that, so they stick to the script and say "That's a good point! Anyway, here's a list of companies that don't include enough Christian symbology enough in their advertising."
The irony is the entire Christ story is an analog of stolen ancient astrological findings. That is why the rebirth myth is pervasive to many religions. Christianity basically rebranded paganism and codified capitalism with religious dogma. LOL Oh how the tables have turned.
@@sluttyMapleSyrup Outwardly only, I would argue. That said, the money changers were not representative of jesus' feelings on capitalism in general, but rather usury and what it has become, the stock markets and financialization (speculative trading and the profiteering of it while contributing nothing to the actual markets). That's not to say he was real or anything, but the ideas put forth by the author's and editors and their analogous protagonists that serve to codify and enter their approved values into social constructs, surely warned at the risk of such economic mechanisms. That said, it was an archaic time and if they really anticipated where we are to day, it must have only been roughly envisioned as an analog to the Pharos, much in the way that our modern billionaires are the counterpart to entities and powerful organizations such as they had at the time... As for aristocracy, what is the structural design of churches and the holy Trinity itself if not an architectural prototype of a monastic subversive counter to monarchist structures that dominated the social paradigm if the social organizations that formed post agricultural revolution?
@@seanwarren9357 I mean, I doubt they had a word for "capitalism" at the time, but his general philosophy of, "You cannot find enlightenment while burdened down by material possessions and money" is pretty antithetical to capitalism and consumerism. Using the lens of their time as best I can, they'd probably view corporations and the like as hidden dukes/barons; they control large amounts of people, have a sizeable amount of "land" (just oriented vertically or scattered across the planet in tiny boxes), are a primary source of income and facilitation of modern life, and exist within other "kingdoms" (nations)... Last paragraph: I think I'm following what you're saying, but there are too many technical terms back-to-back-to-back to where I can't even formulate a response because you've just overloaded my brain with sociological jargon 😆
"It's the consumerism that's really the problem for me" "Okay, let's look at some stores that took christmas out of their mottos." What an incredible segment.
Also it's totally on fox too, if they did any research into Fr. James Martin they would know he's extremely liberal priest, someone more conservative might have agreed with them
Even if Christianity was the only religion and everyone practiced it, "Happy Holidays" would still make sense, because there's literally another holiday we celebrate 7 days later!
1-Make up an enemy 2-Claim it's planning to destroy something wholesome everyone loves 3-Pretend to fight it, mainly by screaming a lot and acting scared, ask for support to fight it 4-Watch the cash pour in.

@@MatthewWarleyhow in the world did you manage to come up with an "example" so far removed from reality?? I'm honestly a little impressed with how far the point went soaring over your little head lol.
I remember the opening of 1984 when Orwell, in an attempt to establish the dystopian setting had the main character walk into his local Tesco to find that Christmas wad written nowhere in the store
thats the most annoying thing, when people try to reference 1984 as something that is equivalent to the way modern society is... like... i feel like most of them didnt even read 1984... or if they did they entirely missed the fucking point of it lmfao
and by that i mean when u see a video talking about mask / vax mandates and there are hundreds of comments saying "THIS IS THE FUTURE ORWELL WARNED US ABOUT" or "1984 IS HERE" without realizing that they have literally made this comment on their internet connected device... like bro if u have a phone the listening post is already on ur person at all times... they already gotchu boomers and u dont even realize it
@@kg7219 yes. I hear this all the time and the worst part is that a right wing version"1984" is possible to. Like people think it was a warning against leftism according to them. But think about it. Instead of "big brother is watching you" it would be something like "God is watching you". The message is about obedience not "radical Marxism". I think a version of insoc could exist in both the left and right. I've noticed they use God to throw out criticism. I've seen people like prageru qeustion the first amendment for allowing other religions to exist in the county and by qeustioning the legimacy of the first amendment. He's also the same guy that made the infamous quote of "if you value your life, obey". Let that sink in.
Just today a customer told me "Merry Christmas". The whole store fell silent and then my manager asked the man to step outside with him. A moment later, a single shot rang out; we all knew what had happened, but no one dared discuss it.
Soon it will be over, this terrible war. The things I've seen... the mass graves... just limp piles of red coats and fluffy white beards and shiny black boots. I remember when we burned the crackers, and the decorations. Like machine gun fire it was, for minutes on end. So many terrible terrible jokes... someones life's work, up in smoke in an instant. And we cheered. Real "christmas cheer", hah. Soon it will be over, and we will have won. But at what cost? I ask you that. And how will we pay when the bill comes due?
I'm glad your manager felt able to do the right thing. I just wish we could extend the extra judicial killings to customers who try to return shoes after wearing them for 6 months.
My mother bought into the War on Christmas bullshit. She ranted about it for a good hour one day a few years ago. I said, "get in the car, we're going shopping." Which for her is like a dog hearing the can opener going. We stop at Wal-Mart. I walked directly to the outdoor section, which is always converted into the holiday section. I stopped and said "What do you see?" "christmas stuff" she says. "What was in the season candy area when we came in?" "Christmas stuff." I left. "Wait, we're not shopping?" "We're window shopping." To home depot. Same deal. Same response. She obviously knows what's going on and is now trying to convince me to head home. "Oh no. We're far from done." After six or seven stores, all with prominently displayed and advertised Christmas sections, we finally went home. I've not heard about the War since.
I need to do this to my grandpa next time he starts ranting about something like that. It’s so irritating having to listen to him jerk Fox News off every single Christmas because he thinks his religion is being “oppressed”.
the nun of my street ranted about it this past christmas. i live in mexico pretty catholic place here in guadalajara we have some sort of secret catholic society called Los tecos (which is supposed to come from tecolotes, a sort of owl , although the name is also an acronym ) but i digress on christmas time we have some kind of party before christmas day comes they are called posadas and are meant to represent the when joseph and mary were seacrhing for a place to stay we sing and the hosts of the party give food and before eating in my case (because the how its done varies a lot between streets) we have a little ceremony were the nuns give a speech about being thankfull and this time they also talked about how everybody says felices fiestas (which is basically happy holidays) and that catholics are under attack the whole show and i was there thinking about this video ( if you read all this thank you i really really like talkign about how things are around were i lived and seeing how cultures contrast)

It's the week before Halloween, 2023. I just tried to buy a new rake and some biodegradable leaf bags at Lowes. I was accosted by a pair of life-size audio-animatronic Santa statues. Their mouths gaped open and closed as their tinny voices played over one another. Their arms jerked up and down. One of them said "Hello, what would you like for Christmas?" as the other one said "Christmas is the best time of year for good little boys and girls!" All the Halloween stuff was in the clearance section. In the war on Christmas, Christmas swung first. I am acting in self-defense.
Seriously! I went to buy halloween candy the day before Halloween and it was already replaced by the green and red wrapped Christmas candy. How we supposed to continue the long standing tradition of eating the first bag of candy myself and needing to run out last minute so the trick or treaters get some too! 😅
"It's about the birth of Jesus, not big corporations!!" exclaims Alex Jones, complaining about how big corporations aren't using the word "christmas" enough.
Its not even about the birth of chirst, he was born in the fall when they did the cenus, chirstmas is a ploy to convert pagans and make people stray, idk y people think slamming God on something pagan and calling it a day, that doesnt make it chirstian.
@@qwertydog9795 exactly, but in a movement to convert more pagans the church stole some pagan holidays, chirstmas and Easter, like how does a bunny that poops eggs have to do with Christ dying and coming back, it's a fertility holiday from pagans.... and so many chirstian get up in arms about the fact their tradition is against what thier beliefs clearly state.
The war on Christmas is a very real thing started by retail workers after having to listen to all the Christmas music playing on repeat the entire season. Fair, honestly. That kind of torture would drive Christians to war on Christmas.
I'm going insane. I'm not an English native speaker and I hesitated to say "holidays" in other than religious things because I thought it was HOLY-DAYS
@@plushdragonteddy and don't British people use "holiday" to mean basically "vacation"? Like "I was on holiday in Berlin visiting some extended family." or "my husband and I went on holiday to Mallorca."
English is a bastardized language where one word can mean three or four potentially completely unrelated things. Or where one word has three or four completely different spellings, even though they all sound the exact same. Welcome to HELL.
I once had a guy complaining to me about how people these days are too easily offended. I wholeheartedly agreed and said, "Like how people get their panties in a twist when you say, 'Happy Holidays' instead of 'Merry Christmas.'" He proceeded to get his panties in a twist.
@@willguggn2 The word 'offended' has lost all meaning. I don't tell people I'm 'offended' any more. If such an incident occurs, I tell them either (a) "that's irritating" or (b) "that makes me want to punch you." I have no time for nuance anymore. I have radicalised my responses.
No one in the history of humankind has been killed or tortured for believing in the wrong imaginary person or saying something mean about royalty. Ever. Before social media we weren't able to see loads of people being annoyed or offended by things big or small, therefore no one used to get offended.

I'm embarrassed of my past self, because I took people like this seriously. PragerU, Ben Shapiro, even Alex Jones. I bought into their harmful ideas and that is part of the reason it took me a while to accept that I am bisexual. I wish I could go back and shake sense into myself because I was so bitter and cynical back then. I appreciate you putting out videos like this, because they could be what helps people break out of the destructive path they are going down.
The world appreciates people like you who are able to change their mind when presented with new information and put their ego aside! Thank you for being better than a lot of people out there who aren’t willing to do so…
You shouldn't be embarrassed you should be proud of yourself. Good on you for coming to a better conclusion. It is very hard to change your worldview it takes a lot of self-reflection and putting aside your bias. Most people are unable to do so
We don’t even need to worry about “taking Christ out of Christmas” because the entire commercialization of the holiday is EXACTLY what Christ would be against! It’s not even about togetherness anymore, it’s about the presents and the money and we know it!
I'm no bible expert but didn't he destroy the tables people sat up to sell things on in the temple because he considered it defiling? He's against the commercialization of religion and the exploitation of people to get money in its name
@@janjanbinks1710 That’s exactly what He did. He drove people out with a whip because it made Him so angry that they were unfairly profiting off of people. I can’t imagine how upset a holiday meant to celebrate togetherness being so commercialized would make Him - let alone that many people celebrate HIS BIRTHDAY on it no less!
I feel like Christ would feel fine about the consumerism aspect of Christmas as long as everybody who was able to, donated food and toys to the annual toy drives/soup kitchens. I've never been religious, but the big thing I took away from mandatory religion classes was that Christ only ever wanted people to help those less fortunate than themselves, and to stay humble by remembering that, even if you're not doing great yourself, there's always someone in a worse position who could use your help. And that's a GREAT message for anyone. Buying a bunch of toys to donate around the holidays is still engaging in the commercialisation of Christmas, but at least it goes towards something positive - making a sick child stuck in hospital on the big day feel a bit happier. Meanwhile I'm sure people like Alex Jones wouldn't donate anything to anyone, and would describe it as a certain word (hint: it begins with 's'!).
The Catholic priest just completely no-selling the dumbshit outrage culture the Fox News interviewers were pushing on him and instead focusing on how the commertialization of Christmas is an issue is iconic.
I mean that same priest wrote a book on the importance of making space for LGBTQ+ people within the Catholic church and has long been an advocate for the queer community so that interview was doomed for fox from the start
Just the fact that Alex Jones CAN walk around screaming merry christmas without any consequences kind of disproves his own point. Seems to be using his freedom of speech pretty freely for someone who claims to not have any.
this is pretty much how i finally got my grandparents to be accepting of others pronouns, PC culture, and identities. I literally asked "do you like people thinking you're rude and mean? because thats all it is." pundits want you to believe youre going to be executed by the woke mob for misgendering someone, when all it is is basic courtesy
It's like when Dave Chappelle said all that stuff about trans people while also making out he can't say those things anymore 😂 (By the way, I really like Dave Chappelle, but him talking about cancel culture while being paid millions on Netflix to say whatever he likes, was pretty weak)
Mind blown. The guy with the glasses at 33:00 used to be a close friend of mine but I haven't seen him in about 15 years. What an epic way to show back up!
when i worked retail, a lady once complained to me at the register that someone had supposedly told her "happy holidays" at the walmart earlier. she went, "why not 'merry christmas'?" i said, "they probably wanted you to have a happy new year, too." christmas is a quixotic hell in retail, so i was exhausted and i think my brain broke. unprompted, i suddenly sang, "and a happy new year. good tidings we bring..." then i stopped, because i forgot the rest of the words. the woman appeared to be buffering for the rest of the transaction. she responded to my prompts ("do you have a rewards card?" etc) but didn't really speak until after she had paid. then she narrowed her eyes and looked directly at my face. she said very unmerrily, "merry christmas." and i smiled and said, "oh, thank you so much! you as well!" sometimes i still think about her face. and about how i got my very first traffic ticket driving home that night.
I attended catholic school up until high school, and everybody always said "Happy Holidays". I always took it to mean "Oh, it's because we are celebrating 2 holidays, Christmas and New Years." So to me, the fact that these people go out of their way to victimize themselves with such a mundane phrase is insane.
Yeah, every sane person just assumes that when you say happy holidays you mean the current one, which in this case would be Christmas. I guess some people don't know what holiday it is and they need to be told specifically.
It's a whole holiday season, like multiple holidays even if you're a Christian American. You've got Halloween straight into thanksgiving then christmas then new years plus celebrating that the school year is over, it's a crazy part of the year
To be fair, as a Jew, I am vaguely annoyed at the people who demonstrate their wokeness by remembering that Chanuka exists (only because it's next to Christmas) and they're all HAPPY HOLIDAYS but don't actually pay attention to Jews' important holidays, or care about Jews struggling not to use up all their vacation days just so they can celebrate their holidays
there was never a real war on christmas, but there's always been a war on halloween. this year i saw christmas decorations in stores as early as MID OCTOBER
My ultra conservative aunt always invites my 100-yr-old grandmother’s favorite catholic priest over for the holidays, and likes to bring this topic up. It usually backfires when she remembers he’s an ultra progressive former druggie who immediately shuts her down every time she starts badmouthing the lesbian neighbors.
It amazes me how Catholicism is the oldest and most conservative sect of Christianity but its priest and members are generally the most progressive, especially amongst American Christians. I think part of it is that catholic priests have to go to school for a very long time and have to devote their whole life to be priest, as well as sacrifice their social and romantic lives. Because of this, they actually know what it means to be a true Christian. But this isolation is also why so many catholic priests are pedophiles, so there needs to be a balance.
@@mattschumacher4581 Catholicism is by no means the oldest or the most conservative sect of Christianity. Orthodox Christianity has them beat on that, and don't have the whole priests being touchie problem that Catholicism does. Mandated clerical celibacy created that entire scandal.
@@JetShanghai isn't that a contradiction? Catholic Christians and Orthodox Christians are of the same blood and split at the same time. This paired along with the fact that the pedo issue is due to similar factors.
@@laurenf.7922 No, because Catholicism split from Orthodoxy. If you compare the early theology of the Church with that of today, you will see that Rome departed in 1054. Only one of those two groups could be the original, undivided Church. We Orthodox have married priests and our sexual abuse is virtually unheard of. So those criticisms do not apply to Orthodoxy.
@@unduloid well yeah but this comment specifically references the Bible which is like an actual hard real book. Just because Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character doesn’t mean that I can say that he said “the true meaning of Christmas is the friends we made along the way” in one of his books and not lie.
@@lasarousi Temple. Churches didn't exist back then. And it was common practice to hold markets at the temple grounds when they were not in use, so Jesus was just being weird, as usual.
As a Jewish person, I sure do love reading my bible and celebrating my christmases! Yessiree, I see Christmas as a holiday important to my religion, a religion partially defined by how we don’t think Jesus was the messiah. Yep, these guys obviously recognize how deeply hurt Jewish people are by Christmas being less prevalent, and it has NOTHING to do with how saying Jewish people are part of the groups that want to replace their culture makes it sound EVEN MORE similar to an infamous theory they totally DONT invoke for profit.
Americans: "Don't force your stuff on us, we want to celebrate our Christmas without having to think of other types of celebration around the same time". Also Americans: telling everyone to have a happy thanksgiving all over the internet.
Especially to indigenous people on the internet, as if the holiday isn't a colonialist concept itself and is just a glorification of the massacre of the Nauset Pequot and Mashpee Wampanoag people. There's a reason why it's regarded as a National Day of Mourning to indigenous people, just like there's a remembrance day for the Holocaust. America isn't the only country in the world and not all countries celebrate the mass dying from settler-brought diseases and genocide against indigenous people masqueraded as a "wholesome" holiday to celebrate with family
The craziest thing is that HBomb wanted this to come out last year so badly, but he was just a week or so behind schedule, so by the time he finished it, he announced on his twitter that he was so committed to releasing the video *on Christmas* that he'd just wait a year and hope it didn't lose relevancy. And now, one year later, Christmas is in such a state of jeopardy that it almost feels like this is a break. Absolutely amazing.

You know, I just realized something. It’s a bit grim to have crosses out on Christmas, isn’t it? “Happy birthday Jesus, to celebrate here’s the instrument of your demise.” Thinking about it, my church never really had more than the usual amount of crosses for Christmas. Focus was on wreaths and candles.
Yeah, I've never understood using a medieval torturing device as the symbol for your patron. The rock rolled away from his tomb would frankly make more sense. Or the crown of thorns, even. Though I guess using a symbol of torture does lean into the far-right kink of persecution and martyrdom.
@@OdinsSage Fun fact: I've seen some Christians use the icthus (I call it the Jesus Fish). The reason it's a fish is that the first letters of the Greek translation of the phrase "Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior" spell out 'icthus,' which is the Greek word for fish. However, I haven't seen anyone try to replace the cross with the icthus.

Exactly this. Obviously I do not believe in a son of God, since I don't believe gods exist. There were mentions by historians of people like Jesus but no proof the Jesus of the bible actually existed.

As well as White Christmas being written for a movie literally called Holiday Inn, it was written for Berlin’s son who passed away on Christmas Day. The fact that it is called White Christmas makes perfect since when you put those two things together, that it was written for a movie set partially during Christmas and to mourn his son who died on Christmas Day. Truly mind boggling things happening over at PragerU.
Republicans get their balls in a twist about "the war on christmas" and act like Christianity is being wiped out as if Christmas has had anything to do with religion in that past 30 years. where were these people when Christmas started to get extremely commercialized?

It doesn't bode well for me that I didn't learn how IQ was debunked as a form of measuring intelligence until this video that I only found like a month ago
@@Sonichero151 I get that american racists have effed up the notion of IQ in the people's mind with those dumb maps (the maps should be monochromatic because iq is based on the distribution of results in a given culture, language, social group AND age group so you can't compare groups) but IQ is still a very useful tool for finding outliers and accomodating them (the gifted and intellectually disabled) in the school system (which is what IQ is for in the first place). And we still haven't found a better way to find them Basically IQ for individuals isn't debunked (because it's the best tool we have to find outliers now), IQ for groups (the one racists use) is obviously debunked because it relied on using the tests completely wrong

@@alicethemad1613 not even just then. I have had non-Jewish physicians say that Jewish doctors who don’t want to work on the sabbath are just trying to get out of work, meanwhile they are extremely supportive of Christian or Muslim doctors wanting off for the same number of days. But the Jews who push back on that are just “overreacting” and need to chill. It happens everywhere, even among educated people.

As someone who works in shopping malls, I WISH the War on Christmas was real and I don't have to listen to the same handful of Christmas songs every single day!
One of my friends has a competition with their family to see who can last longest without hearing last Christmas by wham. So you could make a game out of it if you want.
I’ve actually kinda recognised the opposite problem. Stores near me (aside from a few places like home goods) have a very slim selection of Hanukkah or even just non secular wrapping paper. And I live in a relatively progressive area. Obviously the war on Christmas isn’t so much of a war if every store I go to has piles upon piles of Christmas merchandise and maybe 1 Hanukkah item
i'm an american muslim who celebrates christmas in the secular, festive "give gifts, eat food" kind of way. try being anything but a christian in this country and then tell me how "under attack" christanity is. my parents raised us muslim and yet my sister and i know more about christianity and christian mythology because literally 70% of this country is christian and you tend to pick it up in everyday life. christianity, christmas, etc. is going absolutely nowhere. and that's actually an oddly comforting thing after this horrible year. happy holidays, everyone.
The biggest tip I ever got back when I busked in Boston was from a woman wearing a hijab. It was around the holidays so I was only playing Christmas tunes. Who gives a busker $20? I talked to my Muslim aunt about it and she was not in the least bit surprised. She's from Pakistan and both her and her family love Christmas despite being observant Muslims. I was raised Catholic but I'm not a particularly religious adult and I love it, too, so it makes sense. It's just a fun thing to do, and what's wrong with that? If it means something to your religion fine, celebrate it the way you want, no one's saying you can't, but don't take a dump on the rest of us who want to enjoy it, too, and celebrate it the way we want to.
Massive respect for recognising that sometimes we all need to return to the status quo, even if the "normal" state of things doesn't necessarily align with your beliefs. Sometimes all we need is a half-decent reason to not be shitty towards each other, and personally I don't really care if it's called "Christmas" or "Ramadan" or "Hannukah" or whatever. Happy holidays! 😉
I'm a Christian and I do not mind the toning down of Christian symbolism in commercials. Like, one of the things Jesus did was tear apart a marketplace that was inside a temple because he saw it as wrong to use religion to make money. And its funny how the only people saying there is a war on Christmas are those who use Christianity as a way to make money.
it's almost like jesus was a humble, devout guy that just wanted to spread the word of his god. i wonder, if jesus was around to see this, what would he think of christmas nowadays? especially since it's not even being celebrated on his birthday
I'm not a christian but shouldn't they be happy they don't have to celebrate in public? Mathew 6:5-6 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

Why? What does your being Jewish have to do with religion? A lot of people and entities (hello, Britannica) seem to confuse Jewish and Judaism. One is a race comprised of multiple ethnicities and the other is an umbrella covering a variety pack of religious flavors.

Ironically, Prager is Jewish. Surprised that wasn't mentioned in the video.
I really can’t understand this, would you be offended if a Christian wished you happy Hanukkah? I ask this as an atheist puzzled by the apparent double standards of competing religions.

I was actually thinking about their use of the word "woke" when part of their rally is to tell people to "wake up" to the war on Christmas.
I actually made the shift away from saying Merry Christmas a few years ago, not because I'm a Leftie Godless Heathen™ (although I am), but because when I said it reflexively to this one lady at the grocery store she thanked me for sticking it to the Liberals and standing up for Christianity and she started ranting about how people who say happy holidays are terrible and on and on and on, and I was like, I don't want to be associated with her or people like her, I'm never saying that again

Back when England was a theocracy, the puritans actually did try to stop Christmas. They realised that Christmas was both pagan and Catholic. And it gave the poor a day off work. They did not like any of that.

As an observant Jew, I always find it quite ironic when the religious right uses the phrase "Judeo-Christian values" to justify imposing Christian values on the entire country, including Jews.

The irony is the entire Christ story is an analog of stolen ancient astrological findings. That is why the rebirth myth is pervasive to many religions. Christianity basically rebranded paganism and codified capitalism with religious dogma. LOL
Oh how the tables have turned.
@@seanwarren9357 And yet the Bible itself -- and their messiah in general -- is pretty anti-capitalist, definitely anti-aristocracy 😆
@@sluttyMapleSyrup Outwardly only, I would argue. That said, the money changers were not representative of jesus' feelings on capitalism in general, but rather usury and what it has become, the stock markets and financialization (speculative trading and the profiteering of it while contributing nothing to the actual markets). That's not to say he was real or anything, but the ideas put forth by the author's and editors and their analogous protagonists that serve to codify and enter their approved values into social constructs, surely warned at the risk of such economic mechanisms.
That said, it was an archaic time and if they really anticipated where we are to day, it must have only been roughly envisioned as an analog to the Pharos, much in the way that our modern billionaires are the counterpart to entities and powerful organizations such as they had at the time...
As for aristocracy, what is the structural design of churches and the holy Trinity itself if not an architectural prototype of a monastic subversive counter to monarchist structures that dominated the social paradigm if the social organizations that formed post agricultural revolution?
@@seanwarren9357 I mean, I doubt they had a word for "capitalism" at the time, but his general philosophy of, "You cannot find enlightenment while burdened down by material possessions and money" is pretty antithetical to capitalism and consumerism. Using the lens of their time as best I can, they'd probably view corporations and the like as hidden dukes/barons; they control large amounts of people, have a sizeable amount of "land" (just oriented vertically or scattered across the planet in tiny boxes), are a primary source of income and facilitation of modern life, and exist within other "kingdoms" (nations)...
Last paragraph: I think I'm following what you're saying, but there are too many technical terms back-to-back-to-back to where I can't even formulate a response because you've just overloaded my brain with sociological jargon 😆
"It's the consumerism that's really the problem for me" "Okay, let's look at some stores that took christmas out of their mottos." What an incredible segment.

Even if Christianity was the only religion and everyone practiced it, "Happy Holidays" would still make sense, because there's literally another holiday we celebrate 7 days later!

My mother bought into the War on Christmas bullshit. She ranted about it for a good hour one day a few years ago. I said, "get in the car, we're going shopping." Which for her is like a dog hearing the can opener going.
We stop at Wal-Mart. I walked directly to the outdoor section, which is always converted into the holiday section. I stopped and said "What do you see?" "christmas stuff" she says. "What was in the season candy area when we came in?" "Christmas stuff."
I left. "Wait, we're not shopping?" "We're window shopping." To home depot. Same deal. Same response. She obviously knows what's going on and is now trying to convince me to head home. "Oh no.

We don’t even need to worry about “taking Christ out of Christmas” because the entire commercialization of the holiday is EXACTLY what Christ would be against! It’s not even about togetherness anymore, it’s about the presents and the money and we know it!
I'm no bible expert but didn't he destroy the tables people sat up to sell things on in the temple because he considered it defiling?
He's against the commercialization of religion and the exploitation of people to get money in its name
@@janjanbinks1710 That’s exactly what He did. He drove people out with a whip because it made Him so angry that they were unfairly profiting off of people. I can’t imagine how upset a holiday meant to celebrate togetherness being so commercialized would make Him - let alone that many people celebrate HIS BIRTHDAY on it no less!
I feel like Christ would feel fine about the consumerism aspect of Christmas as long as everybody who was able to, donated food and toys to the annual toy drives/soup kitchens. I've never been religious, but the big thing I took away from mandatory religion classes was that Christ only ever wanted people to help those less fortunate than themselves, and to stay humble by remembering that, even if you're not doing great yourself, there's always someone in a worse position who could use your help. And that's a GREAT message for anyone. Buying a bunch of toys to donate around the holidays is still engaging in the commercialisation of Christmas, but at least it goes towards something positive - making a sick child stuck in hospital on the big day feel a bit happier. Meanwhile I'm sure people like Alex Jones wouldn't donate anything to anyone, and would describe it as a certain word (hint: it begins with 's'!).
The Catholic priest just completely no-selling the dumbshit outrage culture the Fox News interviewers were pushing on him and instead focusing on how the commertialization of Christmas is an issue is iconic.

when i worked retail, a lady once complained to me at the register that someone had supposedly told her "happy holidays" at the walmart earlier. she went, "why not 'merry christmas'?"
i said, "they probably wanted you to have a happy new year, too." christmas is a quixotic hell in retail, so i was exhausted and i think my brain broke. unprompted, i suddenly sang, "and a happy new year. good tidings we bring..." then i stopped, because i forgot the rest of the words.
the woman appeared to be buffering for the rest of the transaction. she responded to my prompts ("do you have a rewards card?" etc) but didn't really speak until after she had paid. then she narrowed her eyes and looked directly at my face. she said very unmerrily, "merry christmas."
and i smiled and said, "oh, thank you so much! you as well!"
sometimes i still think about her face. and about how i got my very first traffic ticket driving home that night.
Reeeeeaaallly confuses those rightys when you remind them there are other holidays in there that even they acknowledge or celebrate.
Glad u made it back safely. Seen some people get hurt because they're tired after work and lost focus
I attended catholic school up until high school, and everybody always said "Happy Holidays". I always took it to mean "Oh, it's because we are celebrating 2 holidays, Christmas and New Years." So to me, the fact that these people go out of their way to victimize themselves with such a mundane phrase is insane.
Yeah, every sane person just assumes that when you say happy holidays you mean the current one, which in this case would be Christmas. I guess some people don't know what holiday it is and they need to be told specifically.
It's a whole holiday season, like multiple holidays even if you're a Christian American.
You've got Halloween straight into thanksgiving then christmas then new years plus celebrating that the school year is over, it's a crazy part of the year
@@abadenoughdude300 Haha that's a good take.
And this is the fact is many other languages! even in French we say Happy Holidays very often, to include New Year Eve :)
I just assumed people used the phrase because they both start with the same letter. Like Stan Lee and his character's names
"judeo-christian values and traditions are important"
"ok, let's start saying happy hollidays so we also include hanukkah"
"NO-"
To be fair, as a Jew, I am vaguely annoyed at the people who demonstrate their wokeness by remembering that Chanuka exists (only because it's next to Christmas) and they're all HAPPY HOLIDAYS but don't actually pay attention to Jews' important holidays, or care about Jews struggling not to use up all their vacation days just so they can celebrate their holidays

My ultra conservative aunt always invites my 100-yr-old grandmother’s favorite catholic priest over for the holidays, and likes to bring this topic up. It usually backfires when she remembers he’s an ultra progressive former druggie who immediately shuts her down every time she starts badmouthing the lesbian neighbors.
LOL assuming this priest is at least in his 70s, most of the nuns he's known were probably lesbians.
It amazes me how Catholicism is the oldest and most conservative sect of Christianity but its priest and members are generally the most progressive, especially amongst American Christians. I think part of it is that catholic priests have to go to school for a very long time and have to devote their whole life to be priest, as well as sacrifice their social and romantic lives. Because of this, they actually know what it means to be a true Christian. But this isolation is also why so many catholic priests are pedophiles, so there needs to be a balance.
@@mattschumacher4581 Catholicism is by no means the oldest or the most conservative sect of Christianity. Orthodox Christianity has them beat on that, and don't have the whole priests being touchie problem that Catholicism does. Mandated clerical celibacy created that entire scandal.
@@JetShanghai isn't that a contradiction? Catholic Christians and Orthodox Christians are of the same blood and split at the same time. This paired along with the fact that the pedo issue is due to similar factors.
@@laurenf.7922 No, because Catholicism split from Orthodoxy. If you compare the early theology of the Church with that of today, you will see that Rome departed in 1054. Only one of those two groups could be the original, undivided Church. We Orthodox have married priests and our sexual abuse is virtually unheard of. So those criticisms do not apply to Orthodoxy.
As a Christian, I personally love that one bit in the bible when Jesus says: "New go forth and complain about menial shit for money."
I liked the part where he said “it’s Jesusing time” and then he Jesused all over the place. Probably one the best moments in Bible

Temple. Churches didn't exist back then. And it was common practice to hold markets at the temple grounds when they were not in use, so Jesus was just being weird, as usual.
As a Jewish person, I sure do love reading my bible and celebrating my christmases! Yessiree, I see Christmas as a holiday important to my religion, a religion partially defined by how we don’t think Jesus was the messiah. Yep, these guys obviously recognize how deeply hurt Jewish people are by Christmas being less prevalent, and it has NOTHING to do with how saying Jewish people are part of the groups that want to replace their culture makes it sound EVEN MORE similar to an infamous theory they totally DONT invoke for profit.
Americans: "Don't force your stuff on us, we want to celebrate our Christmas without having to think of other types of celebration around the same time".
Also Americans: telling everyone to have a happy thanksgiving all over the internet.
Especially to indigenous people on the internet, as if the holiday isn't a colonialist concept itself and is just a glorification of the massacre of the Nauset Pequot and Mashpee Wampanoag people. There's a reason why it's regarded as a National Day of Mourning to indigenous people, just like there's a remembrance day for the Holocaust. America isn't the only country in the world and not all countries celebrate the mass dying from settler-brought diseases and genocide against indigenous people masqueraded as a "wholesome" holiday to celebrate with family

Focus was on wreaths and candles.
Yeah, I've never understood using a medieval torturing device as the symbol for your patron. The rock rolled away from his tomb would frankly make more sense. Or the crown of thorns, even. Though I guess using a symbol of torture does lean into the far-right kink of persecution and martyrdom.
@@OdinsSage Fun fact: I've seen some Christians use the icthus (I call it the Jesus Fish). The reason it's a fish is that the first letters of the Greek translation of the phrase "Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior" spell out 'icthus,' which is the Greek word for fish. However, I haven't seen anyone try to replace the cross with the icthus.

Absolutely. These same people will say “oh my god what are they off for now?” when kids have off for a Jewish holiday.
@Michael Goldstein man that hits a little too close to home. Grade school and middle school were a rough time
@@alicethemad1613 not even just then. I have had non-Jewish physicians say that Jewish doctors who don’t want to work on the sabbath are just trying to get out of work, meanwhile they are extremely supportive of Christian or Muslim doctors wanting off for the same number of days. But the Jews who push back on that are just “overreacting” and need to chill. It happens everywhere, even among educated people.
I'm Jewish and I am like why are you dragging us into this
And then they use "cultural Marxist" as a term, which literally comes from Nazis
as an athiest whenever everyone says merry christmas i turn green and my heart shrinks and i steal lots of presents and i put it in a big sack and then my dog drives me away in a flying sleigh
By getting mad at "Happy Holidays," saying it isn't including Christmas, they are basically stating they don't think Christmas is a "holy day."
Can we talk for a minute about how disingenuous the phrase "Judeo-Christian" is when talking about the war on Christmas? Since Jews, pretty famously, aren't the ones fighting to keep Christ in Christmas.
Basically it's so Bill can say Christian without being Shoah'd by the company. It's a common trope but it's always been an oxymoron.
Also pretty pointedly excludes Muslims.
Well, Dennis Prager is Jewish, it's not about christianity though, it's about making money off oil barons
As a jewish person, every time conservatives say judeo-christian values I'm just like:
"Don't...
Lump me in with you."
Oh don't worry about that. They don't actually like Jewish people
As someone who works in shopping malls, I WISH the War on Christmas was real and I don't have to listen to the same handful of Christmas songs every single day!
The war is real - it's just Christmas is the aggressor, has been winning and has already annexed several chunks of Thanksgiving and Halloween.

I’ve actually kinda recognised the opposite problem. Stores near me (aside from a few places like home goods) have a very slim selection of Hanukkah or even just non secular wrapping paper. And I live in a relatively progressive area. Obviously the war on Christmas isn’t so much of a war if every store I go to has piles upon piles of Christmas merchandise and maybe 1 Hanukkah item
i'm an american muslim who celebrates christmas in the secular, festive "give gifts, eat food" kind of way. try being anything but a christian in this country and then tell me how "under attack" christanity is. my parents raised us muslim and yet my sister and i know more about christianity and christian mythology because literally 70% of this country is christian and you tend to pick it up in everyday life. christianity, christmas, etc. is going absolutely nowhere. and that's actually an oddly comforting thing after this horrible year. happy holidays, everyone.
word.
The biggest tip I ever got back when I busked in Boston was from a woman wearing a hijab. It was around the holidays so I was only playing Christmas tunes. Who gives a busker $20? I talked to my Muslim aunt about it and she was not in the least bit surprised. She's from Pakistan and both her and her family love Christmas despite being observant Muslims. I was raised Catholic but I'm not a particularly religious adult and I love it, too, so it makes sense. It's just a fun thing to do, and what's wrong with that? If it means something to your religion fine, celebrate it the way you want, no one's saying you can't, but don't take a dump on the rest of us who want to enjoy it, too, and celebrate it the way we want to.
EEeeEeEEvvvViIiLlL
Massive respect for recognising that sometimes we all need to return to the status quo, even if the "normal" state of things doesn't necessarily align with your beliefs. Sometimes all we need is a half-decent reason to not be shitty towards each other, and personally I don't really care if it's called "Christmas" or "Ramadan" or "Hannukah" or whatever.
Happy holidays! 😉
Christmas is a pagan holiday that the church adopted to make Christian cause they couldn't convince people to pray for Jesus.
I'm a Christian and I do not mind the toning down of Christian symbolism in commercials. Like, one of the things Jesus did was tear apart a marketplace that was inside a temple because he saw it as wrong to use religion to make money. And its funny how the only people saying there is a war on Christmas are those who use Christianity as a way to make money.
well said man well said... i personally never looked at it that way before.
it's almost like jesus was a humble, devout guy that just wanted to spread the word of his god. i wonder, if jesus was around to see this, what would he think of christmas nowadays? especially since it's not even being celebrated on his birthday
@@corbeaudejugement man that must hurt the most...
people aren't celebrating your actual birthday 😢
12:57 “Oh no, my crosses are burning” went over my head for almost three full years somehow
I'm not a christian but shouldn't they be happy they don't have to celebrate in public?
Mathew 6:5-6
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

Fantastic quote mashup, well done.
@Gaius Octavius nah, Alex Jones seems more like the guy to hide his racism in thin veils
Like an old grandpa type racism but a bit more intense and active
@Gaius Octavius okay in that case he definitively doesn’t use the N word, if he is unable to hide it if he used it. Good!

As a Christian the only thing ruining Christmas is capitalism

I'm not Christian but I think that this post is right.
Damn straight
I would add sentimentality and superficiality to the list.People get caught up in decoration, food, the a e s t h e t i c... Just say you're celebrating Yule, or whatever pagan tradition all of the above originated from.
I am Atheist and I hate the Commerciality that has crept into Christmas when these People mention the war on Christmas do they mean the we should get Back to the real meaning of Christmas Celebration of the Birth of Christ let's face it the Christian why don't People Propose that and see how how Much PragueU is onboard with that
as an Atheist, I CAN confirm that there is a war on Christmas. Not because we're trying to destroy Christianity, but rather that people are celebrating Christmas for WAY too long. Seriously, if I hear "All I want for Christmas is You" in the store before even HALLOWEEN one more time, I'm going to the North Pole and slapping St. Nick.

This hits at the core of their projecting how offended they are onto progressives.

Guys, I'm commenting this from the year 2345.
Take this war on Christmas seriously. In the year 2269 they made it mandatory for us to say "Have a Black Lives Matter Pansexual Holiday that spits on the lord". This is serious!

Apparently christ just means "anointed one," and Jesus is an approximation of the name Joshua.
Oily Josh, he came for you.
Jesus: he came for you.

To me that sounds like Jesus is a hit man who tracked you down
I’m sorry but seeing Alex Jones screaming “Merry Christmas” at the top of his lungs while concerned passerbys just slowly shuffle away from him is definitely a highlight of my 2020.

The only thing that would have made it better is if some oblivious stranger just walked by and was like "Happy Holidays to you too!"
One time someone told me merry Christmas and without thinking, I said merry Christmas back. We’re both in the gulag now, but he’s my jailhouse lover and gets people to give us cigarettes for a round with my bum, so it’s going well.
I hope you two are very happy with each other >v
I work retail. Whenever someone tells me "Merry Christmas" I respond with "Happy holidays" since I celebrate Yule.
