That's just the excuse.Uh...no they are not chief. Public holidays exist for the specific purpose of recognizing something or someone and celebrating it.erm public holidays ARE an excuse not to work and that's a good thing. I agree with your premise but not your argument.
No...that's the reality of the original intent. Sadly, it has morphed into an excuse not to go to work by a bunch of self-centered, lazy progressives.That's just the excuse.Uh...no they are not chief.

BCE....CEYes He does.
sorry, man, Jesus is a myth. It's why even the Gospels can't agree on what year he was born in (Matthew says before 4 BCE, while Luke puts it at 6 CE)
Evidence for your numbers? The total population of the Americas before Columbus arrived was anywhere from 10 million to 50 million individuals. Your assertion makes as much sense as those insisting that sharks still follow the paths the slave ships took because so many were thrown overboard.
Population history of indigenous peoples of the Americas - Wikipedia
Using an estimate of approximately 37 million people in Mexico, Central and South America in 1492 (including 6 million in the Aztec Empire, 5-10 million in the Mayan States, 11 million in what is now Brazil, and 12 million in the Inca Empire), the lowest estimates give a death toll due from disease of 90% by the end of the 17th century (nine million people in 1650).[5] Latin America would match its 15th-century population early in the 19th century; it numbered 17 million in 1800, 30 million in 1850, 61 million in 1900, 105 million in 1930, 218 million in 1960, 361 million in 1980, and 563 million in 2005.[5] In the last three decades of the 16th century, the population of present-day Mexico dropped to about one million people.[5] The Maya population is today estimated at six million, which is about the same as at the end of the 15th century, according to some estimates.[5] In what is now Brazil, the indigenous population declined from a pre-Columbian high of an estimated four million to some 300,000.
While it is difficult to determine exactly how many Natives lived in North America before Columbus,[6] estimates range from a low of 2.1 million[7]to 7 million[8] people to a high of 18 million[9]
It's not binary. You don't have to sit quietly to celebrate something or someone. In fact, that's the opposite of celebrating. You can do both. You can build family and fun time around the reason for the holiday.But people always used public holidays for that.

Hell no! I'm going to hit the bay on a jetski and run down someones poodle.
They are mindless liberal twats, and that's what they are told to do.....Anyone else here notice the direct correlation between the most miserable posters on USMB and their disdain for God?
When you watch stuff like this you realize just how weak-minded progressives really are and thus how easy they are to dupe. It's why the Dumbocrats laugh all the way to the bank at their legions of minions.
Around the 42:00 mark the film maker tries to make the case that (and I quote): Doubt=Death. What an astounding misrepresentation of what was actually said. There is a huge difference between "doubt" and "denial". Denial is what people like Joey and SYTFE do. Doubt is what most people do as they grow up and try to wrap their minds around the physical world that they know and God with their limited mental capacity.
It's fun to watch.Wait. Wait. Wait. You want evidence? From little Joseph there? You must be new here, uh?Columbus Day is supposed to recognize that Columbus discovered America. Uh, there were already people here. People who died by the hundreds of millions after the Europeans came over. That's nothing to celebrate.

Oh, and it's well established that Europeans landed on the Americas long before Columbus got here.
First, Joey is always completely devoid of evidence. When he gets caught lying, he'll do what he did in this thread and suddenly change the narrative from America to North America (as if Christopher Columbus had anything to do with Mexico).
Second, he's really desperate for attention. He doesn't get any in the physical world so he looks for it in the virtual world.
Yeah....we know. You believe in a lot of myths. Like communism works, global warming is "real", and Jesus never existed. Typical uneducated progressive.
Yeah nitwit. Exactly. The east (much like you and your fellow progressives today) believed that the world was flat. Christopher Columbus did "discover" America since no one outside of the Native Americans knew it existed. Additionally he should be recognized for having the courage to take the voyage nobody else dared to take.
Then you and your fellow nitwit progressives have no need for a "fall holiday" and can get your lazy asses in to work.
Bwahahaha! I literally never get tired of this guy embarrassing himself. There has been volumes of evidence. From the Shroud of Turin to the famous "bone box" (which incidentally was found to be an accurate geochemical match), to people who have seen Jesus and interacted with him through near death experiences, to the Bible and everything in between, the evidence is pretty overwhelming.
to the Bible and everything in between, the evidence is pretty overwhelming.
I have news for you.
Jesus existed then, exists now and will exist for an Eternity.
An idol, you know, like American Idol, made to make Father time mad..he didn't? who is the guy on the cross then? or don't crosses exist?When one really listens to what is being said here, it is stupefying. Let's start with the idiotic mayor who calls it (and I quote) "well-merited time off". What?!? Columbus Day was designed to recognize Christopher Columbus. Good Friday was designed to reflect on the sacrifices made by Jesus Christ.
Jesus never existed.
