It’s also known as Supersessionism just search “Replacement Theology” on wikipedia. I do not buy into it, and there i s a large community us. I find it amazing that Mr. Duke assumes that all peoples who chose not to celebrate christmas must be anti-christian and anti-american. Just because I do not buy into replacement theology doesn’t mean I do not celebrate the birth of Jesus, and because I chose not to celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25th must mean I am an evil prik (according to Duke).
I personally don't have a dog in the fight and I'm not really bothered if people celebrate it or not. They should be free to do as they please. I just get amused sometimes with the justifications for celebrating Christmas. From a biblical standpoint, there is no precedence where the early christians did so. The Lord's Supper is what they went out of their way to observe every first day of the week. I'm sure Christmas was instituted wth good intentions but I'm not convinced it's scriptural.
The point is not that you are being "anti-christian" or "anti-american" by not celebrating Christmas - you are free to not do that if you wish. The point is that some of those who hate Christianity USE these kinds of arguments in order to undermine the Judeo-Christian nature of our society. as in:
...the Christmasphobes do not propose to celebrate the Nativity on what they consider a more historically authentic day. They simply refuse to celebrate it at all.
These people don't care about whether it is right or wrong to assign December 25th as a special day to celebrate the birth of Jesus, or even whether it is right to do such a thing at all. They just want to spoil the event for those of us who do wish to celebrate it. As in all things, it is the motives that matter.
