today Jesus Birth , yes It is Christmas . However , Google says (( happy holidays )) . they don’t mention his name . once some unknown artist birthday they make huge celebrations and change their logo to publicize it but when Jesus Christ is born No nothing happen .
whether they believe in him or not , they cant deny the fact that billions of people do and they should respect these people .
What do you think ? Should we boycott google and its products and their nexus phone and android OS ?
My self i am switching to bing and Apple or Windows Phones .
What do you think ? How Christians should respond ?
 
Probably because if they say something about Christmas, theres gonna be that small group of non-Christians who are offended. Happy Holidays is for everyone regardless of religion, Christmas is Christian-exclusive. They only said Happy Holidays to avoid possible controversy.
 
You’re going to boycott someone for not celebrating Christmas?

Sorry, but I think you’re going WAY overboard. There are plenty of people who don’t celebrate Christmas for what it is. Though I think political correctness is bull, I don’t see any reason to harangue a company because they didn’t celebrate Christmas the way we do. Jews have Hanukkah but I haven’t seen a “happy Hanukkah” anywhere either.

If people want to celebrate it differently, fine - that’s their right. I’ll celebrate it the way I want to too, and if anyone has something to say about it, they can deal with it, as I have the right to celebrate it the way I want to too.
 
It’s simply a fear of being politically incorrect. Let’s see what Google does when other religions’ holidays come around on the calendar. Then we’ll be able to see if it’s a matter of singling out Christianity or if they treat all religious holidays with watered-down PC language.
 
I noticed as well. It was quite disappointing.

It would have been better if they had done nothing and just left the standard google image up. The “holiday” graphics they posted were so void of anything that meaningfully represented Christmas that it seemed as if they were using the occaison to take a politically-correct “jab” at a christian holiday.

We’ll I’ll say it: Merry Christmas everyone! 😃
 
I know right. I thought is was really odd that they didn’t have anything “festive” and it was rather secular, too. I thought they forgot it was Christmas day./

Agreed. Besides, what is the OP doing on Google on Christmas Day? It reminds me of the multiple work emails I received last Christmas. It’s a day to be with family, not being on Google or checking work emails.

Calling Google “anti-Christian” for saying Happy Holidays rather than Merry Christmas is quite extreme. Not specifically acknowledging Christmas over numerous other holidays does not make Google “anti-Christian,” rather I would say it makes Google simply religiously neutral.

If Google is recognizing the holidays of other religions as a norm but is specifically not recognizing a christian holiday, then I don’t think that would be religiously neutral. Wouldn’t the neutral point would be to recognize christian holidays to the same degree as those of other faiths?

I think the fact that Google wishes people a “Happy Hanukkah” but not a Merry Christmas is actually quite shameful.
 
When you start complaining about things like this, you only become as bad as the uber atheists who yell at Christians because they only want to celebrate Christmas as “Winter Solstice” or some other such thing. Google can pretty-much say whatever the heck it wants as long as it’s within the law. As long as Christians aren’t being unjustly persecuted I suggest people put their iron where it actually matters - ie. not being nit-picky, and fighting things that actually ARE unjust infringements upon Christians and their beliefs.
