Non-sequitur
:And likewise we should also edit out the Pilgrims' references to "Almighty God", as well as similar statements made by the Berkely Plantation, and George Washington? Should we delete this confirmed history just to satisfy some idiotic politically correct whim? Guess what...the answer is '''NO'''. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 07:32, 22 November 2007 (EST)

:<!-- prepared about 16 hours ago but forgot to submit -->I guess it depends on what you mean by "religion". I'm not a Yank <small><small>(I hope that's not offensive)</small></small> and not an expert on Thanksgiving, but if they were not "giving thanks" to God, who or what ''were'' they giving thanks to?
:Your link says "if Thanksgiving had been about religion, the Pilgrims never would have invited the Indians to join them." Sorry, but that's a non-sequitur, at least depending on the definition of "religion". Why would people giving thanks to God not invite others to take part?
:The link also says, "Indeed, what we think of as Thanksgiving was really a harvest festival." So? When I was growing up (here in Oz), we had something like annual harvest festivals ''in church''. They were definitely "religious events".
