""Why not simply require stores owned by Jews to put a gold star in their ads and on their storefronts?" the Rev. Jim Melnyk, associate rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Raleigh, wrote in a letter to the editor."
The good Reverend is another prime example of the depths the episcopal church has sunk to. I would expect all men of the cloth to support putting Christ back into Christmas.
You just gotta love this "reverend" comparing Christians objecting to Christ being obliterated from His own birthday, to the Nazis carrying out their pogrom against the Jews.
In the small southern town where I grew up the Jewish merchants had no problem with having their newspaper ads with Santa Claus and the words Merry Christmas. While the stores didn't have the nativity in them. There were decorations that had Merry Christmas on them. Most of those same merchants had ads that wished their customers Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in the Christmas day addition of the paper. Granted they were a very liberal synagogue, but it was never an issue. If the leftists have their way I doubt that most Americans will get all that enthused about buying presents to open around the Yule Log. If Christmas goes a lot of small merchants who depend on the Christmas season for their yearly profit will go out of business.
Good God, what a fool. Never studied history, eh Rev. Jim?
Because it would be plain stupid to do so, Reverand.
