Your make believe holidays mess with commerce.
March/23/2008 Filed in: Holidays
I tried to get a Caramel Frappuccino earlier
today. Since the closest coffee shop (Coffee
Crossing, yes their logo is a cross) is closed
for all religious holidays, I went to Target to
get me a Frap. To my surprise they were closed.
It was almost as bad a Christmas day, most stores
were closed. So I went to Bass Pro Shop because
they have a Starbucks, and they were open.
I'm very surprised that large chains like Target would close any day. You can always find someone to work when someone else won't. And why do these stores or our government for that matter care what your personal religious beliefs are? Wouldn't it be easier to treat everyone the same in a secular manner and let them practice their personal beliefs on their own time.
As the population of atheists grow in America, we will be able to remove these annoying restrictions that religious people have created that affect everyone. Because your religious holidays mean nothing to me, the same way other countries religious days don't mean anything to American christians.
