For example, you resent references to Santa and the Easter Bunny, but both play a big roll in a childs Cristian holiday introduction. The question about whether or not we are golem was actually a serious question based on the description of God creating man and the description of a golem. A creature fashioned from earth/dust, activated by magical means, then returning to earth/dust when it has served its purpose.
You said you are doing what the Bible says you are supposed to do , spread the word. We see your "good work" as meddling in the lives of others, attempting to make converts of those who believe differently than you, and denigrate our beliefs or lack thereof, and try to frighten us into accepting your Jesus as Lord and savior with threats of our souls will burn in He'll
for eternity. Surely you can see how insulting it can be from our side.
So, you can genuinely wish me a Merry Christmas, and I will wish you a genuine Happy Holidays.
But, in business, keep it business like. Have a good night!
🙏Peace!

Naw, not insulted....just making a comparison. To be honest with you, I wish the cashiers at stores a "have a great day" as I leave.
BUT, that has nothing to do with what happens to you when you die. I imagine that some folks may say "Bon Voyage" when someone passes, which probably won't have any meaning to those that do not believe in an afterlife.
