It is quite obscure, and I simply can't connect ashes on someones head... to formal religious attire... it just isn't clear enough to me.

Lord-loss has a point, regardless of how you would connect those two things together, then equate it to a religious war.

I once had a Co-Worker "Jokingly" mention that Santa was a Nazi because he didn't give presents to Jewish Children.

In your base, ignoring your logic.

Its the same about the rabbi who saw a christmas tree in an airport and asked for it to be removed. All the other patrons caused a rucus that allowed the tree to stay in place.

BTW: Its only PC if the Christmas Tree is a "Holiday Tree" the Menorah is actually a "Holiday Candle Holder", and a fast is a "Holiday Diet". Oh and all the atheists and such don't get any more than 3 gifts over the entire holiday season(they can get some gifts, but not as much as many as the number received by those practicing religious holidays over the season).

So what if my birthday is 4th of December?
What if I celebrate the Winter Solstice (which is all Christmas/other Christian Holidays are, Pagan Holidays Hijacked to convert people)without believing in any Deity?

That's differen't, birthdays are birthdays. However, the giving of presents represents the three wise men, etc.

Winter solstice really has no reason to send or receive presents, sure its the "time of rebirth", but its not the time of presents.

But roze, the whole christams thing is part of the PC topic of the previous posts. Our government tries to be fair, but at least one religion, or lack thereof, is always punished. To be PC is impossible and we shouldn't try to be so, just use common sense.

How is this in any way discriminatory?

Does he have Jewish/Muslim/Buddhist/Shintoist/Maoist/Druid/insert Religion here because I'm having a brainfart and can't think of any more former co-workers allowed to wear badges promoting their faith?

If not, then I suggest he stop claiming discrimination, especially given that they offered a company approved alternative badge, which was seemingly just as patriotic.

And as with most cases of this type, I wonder how many time he'd been in trouble with the Management before? Or is he yet another exemplary employee inexplicably ejected from his job by the Leftist Mafia?

And he is a Commie trying to brainwash our kids! I mean, think about it, sharing presents to only people who are Obedient and "Good". And he is always in Red!

And he enslaves Reindeer and forces them to pull a Overloaded cart THROUGH THE AIR! In the freezing fog, at speeds in excess of the speed of light!

Fun fact: All of the Reindeer Santa has are female

Whatta bastard.
I heard he enslaves elves in a hellish sweatshop somewhere in the far north too. They are forced to work all year, slaving away, unable to escape because of the inhospitable terrain that surrounds them. When they die, he just dumps thier shrivelled corpses outside for the bears.

Hey, which santa are we talking about? A female Rudolph? Elves?

There's a santa that lives near sweden who rides a goat you know, they call the goat "the yule goat" because if you mess with santa, yule be next.

I really don't think you can call it persecution to be asked to remove a crucifix necklace to comply with a dress code of your job.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Every single depiction of Santas Reindeer show them with Antlers, but "Both sexes grow antlers, which (in the Scandinavian variety) for old males fall off in December, for young males in the early spring, and for females in the summer." I very much doubt someone like Santa would be using Young, Temperamental and inexperienced Reindeer, so he must be using mature reindeer, and if they were male, would have no antlers

But it is "acceptable" to call it if they ask you to remove kippot, turbans or Kirpan, which is a bit two faced IMO.
