The United States Postal Service has several Christmas-themed stamps for sale right now:

… but you wouldn’t know that if you just glanced at a particular section in their latest holiday mailer:

Sarcastic or not, @RennaW‘s tweet (below) provided fodder for those looking for any sign of “intolerance” toward Christians:

The truth was that the USPS only featured the newest stamps in their mailer and, as we’ve seen, there are Christmas options readily available on their website — as noted in their tweets below:

Please visit https://t.co/iDYYPgFI4g to view all of our holiday stamps. Our holiday mailer features our newly issued holiday stamps. — U.S. Postal Service (@USPS) November 21, 2013

We apologize for not including all of our holiday religious-themed stamps due to design constraints. View them all @ http://t.co/r0EGurMCHL — U.S. Postal Service (@USPS) November 21, 2013

None of that mattered, though. The Christian Outrage Machine was already in full effect:

@USPS America is still 3/4 Christian, with most non-Christians who still respect Christmas. Why would you insult and dismiss the masses? — CJ (@CommieJuice) November 21, 2013

I feel it is a slight to advertise Holiday stamps and not actually represent one of the Holidays. Gbread House is not Christmas @ShannonPoe — Becky Ziegler (@bzbex) November 22, 2013

Much like the Costco incident, this is just a bunch of people complaining about something without knowing (or even attempting to know) the full story.

The implication is clear: There are Christians who will go into full-blown Persecution Mode the moment they feel slighted, even if the facts outright contradict them.
