Thanksgiving

[bigrebnc1775]

How bitter do you have to be to use Thanksgiving as a tool to bash people?

Poor little bugger.

still wearing that hat that does not allow blood to your peanut sized brain?
Get help little ravi

I'm not a Christian but I am thankful to God and I do think the day that was created to give him thanks should be respected as that.

alright.... so since you are NOT a christian... are YOU working and forgoing the pay?

I just said I do give thanks to God or did you miss that part?

Not a christian.... but pray to a god.

so again.... its not a christian holiday if that is your take on it.

Thanksgiving day was started because of Christians
Yes I pray to God.

ranting fuckwits are obvious.

If you don't believe in God maybe you should work and not get that holiday pay.

Wal Mart is looking for atheists to work on the holiday.

Does not look like it according to some.....

"The "first Thanksgiving" in 1621 has little in common with the modern-day celebration. It began when some colonists at Plymouth went out "fowling," probably for geese and ducks rather than the harder-to-catch turkeys, since they reported they "in one day killed as much as... served the company almost a week." Other items on the menu probably included fish, eels, shellfish, stews, vegetables, and beer.

After the successful hunt, 90 or so Wampanoag made a surprise appearance at the settlement's gate. Although this may have been initially alarming to the colonists, who numbered about 50, the groups socialized peacefully over the next few days. The Wampanoag contributed venison to the feast and joined the Pilgrims for activities like shooting guns, running races and drinking liquor. The end result of the rather disorderly party was a treaty between the two groups that lasted until King Philip's War in 1675."

From your source these are the Holidays observed by Christians? No mention of the very day that Christians decided to set aside a day to give God thanks? Fact: Christmas isn't the birthday of Christ. Hows that for facts?
Major holidays:
Advent (Nov. 30 - Dec. 24)
Christmas (Dec. 25)
Epiphany (Jan. 6)
Lent (40-day period prior to Easter)
Good Friday (last Friday before Easter)
Easter (date varies)
All Saint's Day (Nov. 1)

Point is your position is a contrivance created by some well intentioned, but, misguided governmental personal. How people celebrate or mark that day is entirely personal.

Some misguided government person? The founders were misguided? How fucking liberal elitist of you to say that. Next you'll say the Constitution is a living breathing document

It was a day set aside to give God thanks, that is a fact.

My left wing friend, the facts are clear. There was a party at a later point it was declared a day to gives thanks to the Almighty. That is clearly a contrivance.

Left wing now that's laughable.
Yes Thanksgiving was created for a purpose to thank God. Glad to see through your contrivance that you finally understand.

 

[Katzndogz]

Our modern Thanksgiving came from Lincoln who set aside a day to give Thanks that the union was preserved.

http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/speeches/thanks.htm

All in all, there's not much to be thankful for.

 

[Unkotare]

People are confusing the true reason Thanksgiving was created and what they think it's for.

Ok.

So what?

So what nothing.

Exactly what you lefties do best, take something out of context in order to delude yourselves, however, it seldom works for long. As previously stated, "the "first Thanksgiving" in 1621 has little in common with the modern-day celebration. It began when some colonists at Plymouth went out "fowling," probably for geese and ducks rather than the harder-to-catch turkeys, since they reported they "in one day killed as much as... served the company almost a week."

All I can say to you is praise God comrade and enjoy your government sponsored religious holiday.

I am aware of your links and the history that is just what you lefties want; paternalism and babying from government so much so that you need to have a religious day set aside to be told to worship and be thankful. Wonders will never cease, apparatchik.
