I think you misread the post.
1) What does it mean to you when I say >>ALL OF WHICH<< ? Would that
not be ALL of the points above, ALL of the points taken TOGETHER,
including the ones you didn't quote?
2) Christianity IS a minority religion. Miniscule presence in China, a
very minor presence in India/Pakistan, or the Arab-speaking world, all
those easily accounting for a majority of the world population.
Christian holidays are NOT universally celebrated around the world.
And even among Christians, different churches do not all celebrate
Easter or Christmas on the same day.
WPX is a world-wide contest. I am sure there are other contests that
fall on important feasts/holidays in other countries. It would be
impossible to avoid all holidays everywhere. why are ours any more
important than anybody else's?
The cheap shot belongs to the original poster.
