i feel so educated, cheers cam

No Probs. I learned that from a video I watched almost a year ago.

Yep just like every holiday, Christian or not. Isnt it funny how Ramadan and Yom Kippur are virtually untouched by marketing, yet Christmas and Valentines day are hugely twisted by companies into a big business opprotunity for companies? Tells ya something about us Christians.

[Neobaron]

What?

It tells us that american consumerism permits companies to bastardize their "closely help beliefs" in order to sell products based on the holidays that the majority of people recognize.

The commercialization of "holidays" says literally nothing about any religion.

[Muse]

And yet Catholic or secular holidays are the only ones affected. Maybe we dont do enough to keep those holidays sacred. Im just saying that sometimes Jews or Muslims can be a bit more faithful than the average Christian.

[Genevieve]

wth? Christianity is obviously the dominant religion in the western world.

Yom Kippur and Ramadan aren't even celebratory.

Sadly thats true.

[Muse]

It really is.

Guys you 100% missed my point.

If you have to sell a thing, and you have 100 people to sell it to, are you going to try to sell it to 1, 9, or 90 of them?

That is what companies see when they go to advertize products.

We can do a "christmas" gimmick and reach like 80% of the US, or we can do a musim or jew themed gimmick and make 1/10th the profit.

It has nothing to do with the religion and everything to do with the people selling products.

Then how come in Isreal , which is mostly Jews, and Iraq, mostly Muslims, there is nothing of the sort?

[Shadow]

Do you actually know that there is no themes advertising there, or are you just saying this?

[Muse]

[Rakefur]

Dude Neo. He's real. Let him express his opinion.

I think it's more of a reflection of your posting, rather than his.

[Muse]

Excuse me I think the point of this is free discussion. Where one is not mocked for ones opinion.
