I visited a church a couple of months ago, and the pastor said, "Don't be afraid to speak up for the gospel," or something like that. Then he said, "The people you are afraid of offending don't hesitate to tell you what THEY think." And I had never considered that. Since then, I've been bolder. When likeminded people speak up, it helps others speak up, too. If you think you're the only one, you are more likely to stay silent. FR is good for that reason alone.

At work I received a management news email explaining how we have to be sensitive to others(the 3% non-Christians in our country)and understand that other religions need to be respected by our lack of celebration of Christmas.

Kwanzaa and Atheism were even mentioned!

I can guarantee that if a non-Christan promoted their religion or lack thereof at work, that their outspokenness of such would be met with nothing but praise.

This, I might add is a VERY large and prominent company.

Your pastor is an excellent person...he understands what Albert Einstein meant when he said -

"The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are the constitutional rights secure."

It should move us all to being more active in driving the leftists back as we celebrate our freedoms here in America!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
