“It isn’t just Muslims who hate Christmas and Christianity.”
Marxists, atheists, ACLU, Muslims - all work together.
I was thinking about my mom saying she got so few kids trick or treating, and Barney Frank’s self-serving comments about ‘gay marriage’ and all the other alterations we make to our traditions because in our new open-mindedness, everything that’s been around for longer than five minutes is evil, white-male propaganda, while inclusion means smiling and pretending all religions have had equal impact on this nation’s culture, and that we have to rename things as proof that we’re not bigots or something.
As an atheist, I find this stuff insane. I understand that the vast majority of people in my country are believers in God, and in a Christian God. Just as I don’t mind that my taxes go to education when I don’t have kids, I don’t care that my taxes may go to putting up lights or trees that make the season more enjoyable for everyone. If we can sink billions into services for people who shouldn’t be here or who don’t work, why not a few bucks for everyone to enjoy, even people like me who don’t believe in the religious element?
I’ve never, ever met someone who calls a Christmas tree a Holiday Tree.
I’m sure people are bored with this discussion, but I think it is indicative of very important things going on in this country.
