I agree re morality coming from a wide variety of sources, and not just from deific commandments; and also with a huge amount of it being strongly fueled by empathy, which is an emotion we don't seem to laud enough IMNSHO.
Regarding Christmas, I don't like the X either, even though I know it's supposed to signify the cross, and I loathe the commercialism. That's why I shorten it to C-mas if I'm going to shorten it. Also, there's a reason my favorite C-mas show is "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" rather than some puppet show where the most important goal is helping Santa deliver the loot on time.
Very interesting post you linked to -- I commented there. Also, yay for rambly brains! ;)
