musica is on a distinguished road
Default Re: Xmas and culture

Oh and on the matter of the theme of this post.
I think it all comes down to the degree of tolerance people have for beliefs other than their own.
Some feel threatened when others do not believe what they believe and want to shut themselves away from other influences.
I think many in the world are moving towards multi culturalism and learning and celebrating our differences and how we are all the same as well. Just because you teach children about religions and customs other than their own does not mean you think they should worship in that way or change their life style, it just offers them the opportunity for a greater understanding of humanity as a whole.
This seems to be a problem for those who feel their way is the only way and they need to convert others in order to save them.
Live and let live
The main message of Christmas is Peace on Earth and perhaps we need tolerance to achieve that.
