   I was surprised and disappointed when I saw google’s “christmas” doodles. Even Yahoo looked slightly more christmas-y.. although they didn’t actually say it that I could find. Damned political correctness.

   yes, it’s like the elephant in the room. to me it means they’re either scared or anti. if it’s the latter then they should own up and explain themselves, isn’t it western culture that spawned them and their opportunities and where they’ve lived, moved and had their being . On the other hand if its the former then why so lilly livered? makes me wanna pewk or change my search page. Do they think other peoples/nations whose religions seem a bit scarey or weird to outsiders are going to ditch their faith just because we in the west have ditched ours? forget about it! they all know that religion gives them more cohesion and strength in coping with life, especially in adversity.
   At least google et el could do the english version some justice. google don’t get confused by self-serving surveys and statistics there’s many reasons people(me amongst them) physically don’t go to church much(and you’ld be surprised how low on the list unbelief is for most people) but the majority are deliberately partaking in christian faith in many surprising and not so apparent but individually tailored ways like their choice of reading material, music, radio, schools, clubs, events, family and social values and practices, movies, theatre, prayer and councelling and so on and so on. in short they’ve simply adapted their religious behaviour to changed lifestyles just like any other area of life. it’s the institution not God that they’re uncomfortable with and anyway the church is the believers not the buildings etc.! where are all these people that find Christmas offensive! most ordinary people would be hard pressed to name one in their circle. I’m with Jem, google get yourselves turned on to Christmas or get turned off on our computer screens!

   I may quit google…I am only one person but their
   anti Christmas policy is totally wrong. What’s with
   these mice on their logo’s.
   Even if you don’t want to say MERRY CHRISTMAS..
   how about HAPPY HOLIDAYS with some holly
   or a present or something..come on..these corporations are run by these 20 somethings who have total disregard for faith or tradition.

   I just emailed Google a complaint. You all should do the same (google in “contact google”, and then click on “business proposals”.) I suggested that they give the same attention to Christmas holidays as they do to other holidays, in the interest of fairness.
   Google has a reputation for being more global than American. They need to learn that Jesus Christ is popular all over the world. More literature has been written about Jesus than anyone in all creation. He deserves recognition, if only from a historical standpoint.
   I think that the owners of google may be Jewish or Islamic.

   I really fail to see why this bothers you all so much. Do you get offended when your neighbors don’t decorate to your satisfaction? How is Google any different than your neighbors? It’s not your website, and it seems to me that those associated with the military would understand that in America they have a right to decorate their website any way they want. Make your own website and Christmas it up your way. And what if the owners of Google are Jewish or Islamic? Does that make them bad? That line of thinking sounds like the Islamic extremists who are bent on eliminating all other religions, or maybe the Nazi’s who tried to eliminate anything different.
   Why not just stop using their website?
