HIJACKING CHRISTMAS TURNS UGLY
http://www.catholicleague.org/58078-2/ ^ | 11/28/2016 | Bill Donohue

Those who want a new twist on the traditional crèche can buy a 10-piece Hipster Nativity scene that features Joseph sporting a lumberjack beard taking a selfie; baby Jesus and a peace-flashing Mary, holding a Starbucks cup, are included. The three wise men show up on Segways holding Amazon boxes full of presents; there is also a cow draped in a sweater with a “100% Organic” seal on it.

A gun-rights activist in Columbia, South Carolina has hijacked Christmas to make his case defending the Second Amendment. It is the work of the Palmetto State Armory. Billboards are being displayed in several South Carolina cities, all of which feature assault weapons or shotguns, cribbing from Christmas themes and songs. “Do you hear what I hear?” and “All I want for Christmas is you” are two examples.

Reality TV star Brandi Glanville posted a Facebook picture of herself squatting over baby Jesus, posing as if she were giving birth to him. It didn’t go over with the public, which is why she deleted it from her Facebook and Instagram accounts.

However, Glanville refused to apologize. Instead, before she deleted the photo, she said, “Why is everyone so butthurt? I guess cause I’m an Atheist this doesn’t bother me in the least bit. But seriously why should people need to ‘respect’ this religion while this religion is so disrespectful to everyone else? Get over yourselves. Seriously.” She then tweeted, “People need to chill the f*** out and take a joke.”

There is nothing trendy about this depiction, but it is egregiously offensive. It is also quite revealing. Glanville reasons that because she is an “Atheist” [notice she capitalizes her master status], it doesn’t bother her that Christians are offended. Why would it? After all, that was exactly her point.

“three wise men show up on Segways”

Can’t be all that wise if they can only get jobs as mall cops.

He won’t be mocked much longer. The fools can’t even see or feel the signs of the changes that are headed their way and they aren’t going to be happy at all.

If the three men are on Segways then by definition they are not wise.

I always thought that it was a "Partridge on a Par 3". Along with the "Three French Horns" and "Two Flying Gloves".

I drive my lovely and patient wife bonkers at Christmas with the carol singing. Brings out the 4th grader in me.

Now if they appeared on burning hoverboards then they might be hip.

“Christianity” hijacked christmas from the sungod worshipers, so what is to hijack?

I’ve noticed Santa has been ‘upgraded’ as Messiah in the Hallmark Christmas movies. Santa now heals people, answers their prayers all under the banner of “Believe.”

Strongly disagree. Do some research, and then we shall post again. Have a delightful day....

First off Brandi you intended the picture to be offensive. That’s why you did it.

What your problem is, is that it offended way more people enough to bother your sponsors than you imagined.

So who does Christianity disrespect in reality? No one.

Certainly we may point out grave sins like abortion and homosexuality but we don’t treat these people with disrespect.

If being told that your soul is in grave danger of eternal damnation bothers you it is perhaps not that you are being disrespected that is bothering you but that your soul is.

The 5000 year old worship of the sungod on Dec. 25 is the reason Constantine invented “christmas.” (at the same time he invented christianity itself to defeat the followers of Yeshua, whom he considered a threat to his empire)
