As a convert to Orthodox Judaism, I try to not say, “Merry Christmas.” Even though it is lame, I try to say instead, “Happy holidays” to the goyim.<\/p>\n
If I were to say, “Merry Christmas,” I am granting legitimacy to Christian claims for Jesus of Nazareth. <\/p>\n
On the other hand, I choose to live in a gentile state and wish people “Merry Christmas” is custom of the goyim. By not saying it, I am choosing to exempt myself from a key American holiday. <\/p>\n
It would make sense for goyim to resent Jews who do not join them in saying, “Merry Christmas.”<\/p>\n
Would America be stronger for having unity around Christmas and many other such things? Or is America stronger for being divided and multicultural?<\/p>\n
In white Australia, there was one culture and Jews who dressed distinctively got verbally and occasionally physically abused. In multicultural America, Jews have it much easier. <\/p>\n
On the other hand, in the Jewish state of Israel, Christians and Muslims don’t have it so easy.<\/p>\n
It makes sense to me that the more united a country (genetically, religiously, racially), the stronger. <\/p>\n
