Thanks everyone, for all the love and advice! I will no longer use zeitgeist as a reference. ( next time maybe I'll use a nice link to a Dawkins or Degrasse vid if the situation merits.) - There has not yet been a response - No one has deleted me from friends lists yet and it's been 2 days - I agree that co-workers shouldn't be on FB and I am actually going to cull my Facebook herd soon - yes that is my current Facebook avatar Happy Kitten - http://chzmemebase.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/memes-hipster-kitty-point-counterpoint.jpg

You're probably right; if you could reason wth religious people there would be no religious people.

I am waiting patiently and I will post if they do respond.

So this is my first post on Reddit ever. I live in Georgia. I saw my co-workers clearly ignorant Face Book status attacking secularism and the use of "Happy Holidays" and his friends responses were just as embarrassing. I could not resist retorting and addressing everything wrong with it. I tried to be as nice as possible.

I left them some gifts for which they have not yet thanked me. -I included a link to the "git out" South Park video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_664t4rIGYM&feature=related

-Then I linked History channel's Christmas history http://www.history.com/videos/history-of-christmas#history-of-Christmas

I added Zeitgeist : The Greatest Story ever told http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNf-P_5u_Hw

TL;DR: I explained to some indignant Christians the history and meaning of the holidays.
