[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hate to say this, but I'm a Christian and I find your attitude a little offensive. Advent calendars are not "cultural symbols." Advent is a holy time in the Christian faith, counting down the weeks until the birth of the savior. Churches celebrate each Sunday in a special way.

Sorry, but to me, this is on par with the "cultural appropriation" whining that liberals love to do.[/quote]

Get over yourself; Christians didn’t invent counting down to a special event. Is “Space Oddity” Christian cultural appropriation, too?[/quote]

(Jew here) Didnt christians invent the idea of having a calendar with little windows you open up as part of the countdown, though? Its not the same thing as just counting down.

Its not cultural appropriation, because the culture doing the borrowing is the weaker culture, not the dominant one.  And its not like Christians can really complain about cultural appropriation by Jews anyway, eh?  But it does seem like a distinctively Christian custom with real religious content.  [/quote]

And this, ladies and gentkemen, confirms yet again that liberals are nothing but hypocrites. [/quote]

I am not quite sure what the above sentence is in reference to.   [/quote]
