WAR ON THE UNIVERSE

So we have the," war on terrah", war on drugs, war on crime, war on being a human being living in America, and now the WAR ON CHRISTMAS!!!!!
I am afraid because there is a war out there I don't know about but wait, FAUX NEWS came through I felt safe and now I realize that there are evil doers who want to do away with X-MAS. Those fucking bastards won't get away with it! But seriously folks the bullshit runs long and hard so I am going to inject reality into the ridiculous argument of the ATTACK ON X-MAS(AHHHH).
The argument is that HEY they are full of shit. Christmas is a pagan holiday in the first place, Jesus wasn't born on Dec. 25th, and what do you tell the Jews, the Hindus, Atheists, Buddhists and every other flippin religious group in America?( and yes there are many) History is a pawn to our powerful desires after all why do we praise Columbus? Here you have an idiot who set out to sail to India to find a quicker route to the spices. Well, HEY he landed ass-backwards on a continent far-far away from India and still referred to the people he met as INDIANS! WE WORSHIP HIM WITH HIS OWN HOLIDAY!!!Is there a time period when we can admit we made a mistake? If I set out to sail to Cuba and accidentally landed in Madagascar can I have a Holiday? and if I name the people I meet Cubans is that okay to? Will you write history books about my great discovery? Anyway getting back to Christmas( which has nothing to do with Jesus) we will use another example. The example being the fact that during the conference at Nicea, Constantine had wanted to bring the people of the empire together so he melded beliefs together and came out with the barbarian principle of Sunday being a holy day with Sol, the god of the sun, and the Jewish holy day of Saturday (the day which Jesus and his disciples practiced as holy) and decided that Sunday would be the holy day thus throwing the barbarians a bone and Constantine ,who had converted to Christ but still held onto pagan beliefs, a day to worship. So lets take these beliefs with a grain of salt and relize for one that Constantine had to make concessions to bring the Empire together.
