Coming at him with a personal insult is not the way to go about this.
The correct way is to point out that most Christmas traditions are not rooted in Christianity, but in paganism.
Exactly. What is Christian about chopping down an evergreen and put it in your house? That's a pre-christian fertility symbol to invoke the turn of the solar year and the next agricultural season.
Also, the man is an idiot.
Nah, simple facts don't work on people like Sorbo. Insults don't really work either, but at least that's funnier.
The only thing that works with Kevin Sorbo is not having brain damage.
It's Santa's birthday. What does it even have to do with Christians?
On a serious note it doesn't matter. They don't want to engage and they aren't going to change their views. This is for the echo chamber.
He’ll just call you an antifa plant.
That's fine but then he comes off as "taking the low road" instead of you.
And also, it doesn't matter.
I don't give a shit what kind of holiday it is, it's just an excuse to have a day off, be with your loved ones and eat good food.
I could do that any time of the year but most people seem to like this particular season and it works for me.
I really don't think you could. This is a time of year that the entire country recognizes as "holiday season", so there's a good chance your entire family can take off of work and all be together at that time of year.
I meant it more as in " this holiday season could be any time of the year".
Obviously we can only get off work and meet on something like a holiday, but it doesn't matter to me what the holiday is about, or when it is, as long as i get a day off it's all the same to me.
Edit: Also, that's why i said
By most people i meant society. We as a society decided this is "holiday season", but it could be any other time of the year and it'd make little difference to me.
I'd argue the most correct way to address that is to roll your eyes and move on without engaging and then laugh about it later. And do everything in your power to keep these kinds of people away from having any power over you.
