After going through the fall of the cabal i kept getting this feeling that Santa was only created to distract us from Jesus during Christmas...No other religion has this, same with easter and a fucking rabbitt

One disagreement I have with PDT is his insistence on reintroducing Christmas into the general culture. Before PDT we were nearly at the point where the broader culture was having winter celebrations, and Christmas was reserved for the Christians.
On the one hand, hearing "Merry Christmas" widely used again sounds nice, but on the other hand, the use (or non-use) of this phrase does nothing about the underlying problem in the culture.
When I have to go to three different stores to find Christmas tags that say “merry Christmas” rather than happy holidays, there is an issue and it is done on purpose to remove the word Christ. Slowly but unfortunately surely.
That there is a serious problem is something we can agree on.
I don't think, however, that the solution is popularizing phrases such as "Merry Christmas". The disappearance of "Merry Christmas" is a symptom, and addressing the symptom while the actual problem continues to fester cannot work.
I think that the problem is the spiritual condition of the majority of the culture. If, by some miracle, that could be set right, the use of "Merry Christmas" and other phrases would cease to be an issue.
