    Well I say good riddance. I see no reason the world should expect a corporate entity to celebrate their religious holidays each and every time. Especially for something that isnt even real ( god )

    Wow, do you hear yourself?

    "God Clubbers"

    "Christianity is Dying. And not a moment too soon"

    "bow down to some mythical, piece-of-****"

    That's some upper level hate right there.

    Are you proud of all that bigotry you just spewed?

    Jeez...

    Hehe, good thing they never did a doodle of Mohammad.

    That smiting would come in the form of mass terrorist attacks instead of articles on a web-page.

    Most people do indeed care less. Except for the Righty that created this thread to complain and his/her fellow righties to complain. LOL

    Mohamed doodles evoke little censure. Graven images themselves can be taboo, and irreverent ones, especially.

    Religionists vary in their tolerance of similitudes.

    If "Piss Buddha" were presented as a work of art, a little plastic similitude of Siddhārtha Gautama in urine, it would only produce a chuckle for most believers.

    It's easy to be respectful of the iconographic traditions of everyone's religion.

    ... like a rabbit.

    Let's all respect the celebration of Eostre, the goddess of spring, and eschew all subsequently contrived distortions of its true meaning of the observance.

    Well, actually, it was a Pagan holiday that was co-opted by Christianity to celebrate their new zombie club.

    Christians have had their say for how long. All of a sudden they aren't in the limelight and it's the apocalypse.

    Color me unimpressed.

    It's an American religious holiday. The significance of our Thanksgiving really does not extend beyond our borders. And no religion incorporates Thanksgiving into their liturgy.

    But the sole purpose of Thanksgiving is for the nation to thank God for all of our blessings, so Thanksgiving is all about religion.

    I have no problem with people being indifferent to religion, including Christianity. It's when people go out of their way to mock or belittle Christianity where I have a problem.

    If Google honors every other of the world's religions (no matter how small and insignificant), but they intentionally ignore Christianity, then they need to be called out as bigots.

    There is no scientific or verifiable evidence that love exists, and still some folks still believe in it.

    When people start murdering others and attempting to deny people rights or freedoms in the name of love on a grand scale let us know.

    Love / affection creates numerous physical conditions that have been measured by the way.

    Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter are not just Christian holidays they all started out as secular holidays and those holidays are celebrated by people of all beliefs. That we agree to a common name for them to make it easier doesn't mean they are uniquely Christians and only Christians celebrate the day for their particular reasons.

    Shame on Google to shun a day we all can celebrate because they have something against the Christian faith.

    But can't we all get together on one day and celebrate the coming of the Spring and all it brings as the new eggs hatch and things are "reborn" as in my Azalea blossoms and my grass coming back from the dead?

    I guess the War on Christmas was such a hit we've now got a War on Easter.
