Are your public places allowed to play religious Christmas music?

The lawsuits I've read explain that people shouldn't be subjected to things that are objectionable to them. Therefore, when atheists are offended by Christmas songs and decorations, or non-Christian religions object, they must be gotten rid of. Not everyone is as live-and-let-live as you and I are! Church bells are not allowed where I was, either, yet the Mosques can broadcast their calls to worship. That always had me scratching my head. I don't care if they want their call to worship heard, good for them, but to ban church bells?! The world is screwy.

The farther west you go here, the screwier people get. Jewish traditions are barely tolerated in public, Christian displays are forbidden around public buildings, especially government buildings but other religions have free rein. I was offended to hear only secular Christmas songs because I felt as if I were being discriminated against but figured I'd move elsewhere and I did. Now I'm free to practice my religion any way I want without someone suing me. Even Santas in the mall aren't allowed to wish the children Merry Christmas! I think people are offended because they are looking for ways to be outraged. It would be much better for them to accept "live and let live" than to waste their energies persecuting people. And yes, the same is true of Easter, an art gallery was forced to remove a sculpture of Christ one Easter because it offended people. The homeowner's associations out there (that dictate what color your house can be, what flowers you can plant, where you can park, etc. in the big developments) even have bylaws that don't let you fly the American flag except on national holidays and in certain heights and configurations.

Sounds to me as if what you say is true - people are outraged because they are looking to be! Ridiculous!

I love to hear the old carols and religious music of Christmas. It doesn't seem the same without it and I'm so glad to be back where it's allowed to be played! Maybe someday I can visit your country and enjoy your celebration.

i wish you cna come here in my country. for sure, you'll like it here. you can really the essence of christmas especially everyone celebrates it as a family. even your alone, still someone here will cheer you up and celebrate it with you. christmas here is really different.
