Not may people know this but I am quite a religous person and yes I do think God is real and I'm not ashamed to admit that. Now lets be honest how many of us today think of the real story of christmas when we talk about it. How many of us think fo that awsome new DVD player mum promised us? I am sorry to say if we're not careful my religion in 5 - 10 years will be phased out and these silly ideas such as 'wintervill' or whatever and trying to keep our country politically correct isn't helping it. I do think all people should have equal rights thought and be treated with the same respect no matter what their religion is.

I’ll be a story in your head, but that’s okay, because we’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I always meant to take it back. Oh, that box, Amy, you’ll dream about that box. It’ll never leave you. Big and little at the same time. Brand-new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would had…Never had. In your dreams, they’ll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond and the days that never came.

And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,

Master is the slaves, well master. That song is a racist song and that is why it has been changed.
Before you start stating things, make sure its backed up.

Where did you back your statement up? The nursery rhyme is telling a story of tax imposed by the king on wool, "Master" refers to the local Lord. Originally Posted by Akem

I noticed that too, and edited it before you posted. I quoted Akem, but it came up under his name for some reason. Originally Posted by Comp-Tech

Actually Muslims don't drink.. if you ever go somewhere like Saudi you aren't allowed any alcohol in the country. Originally Posted by Josh-H

I personally don't believe in the stories of Christianity, as I said previously, but this is in my opinion not just an attack on Christianity and its teachings, but also on British traditionalism, something for which I am proud of my country for. We are one of the last Western countries left with proper traditions, and they are being chipped away at at an alarming rate. There is no reason why a Muslim cannot simply ignore the religious symbolism on a simple Christmas stamp, especially when the very same people campaign so hard to be allowed their own religious artefacts and symbols on and around their persons.
