A life after torture and death, sure, but still life.<BR/>2) The death of the "Prince of Peace" is remembered on Good Friday and Holy Saturday and to the best of my knowledge, no one wishes anyone else happy on those days.<BR/>3) Right or wrong, many of the people who live in this country practice some form of Christianity (or would pretend to their extended families that they do) and object to working on church holidays.

I almost didn't click on it (I rarely click on links that aren't clearly identified by the surrounding text), but I'm sure glad I did.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I tend to fall into the "Christian Holidays are pretty much harmless, so I'll celebrate them with my family even though I'm an atheist, but I won't go to church and I reserve the right to be grumpy and miserable" category.
