The War on Christmas

Christmas is under attack. One of the two most sacred of days and seasons of the year to the Christian community is under the gun. In some sections of our country it is coming from the business sector, while in others from left wing liberals bent on removing Christ from Christmas. Terms like "Merry Christmas" is replaced with "Happy Holidays." The "Christmas Tree" is replaced with the "Holiday Tree." They call is trying to be "sensitive to the public."

Simon Maloy, posted the following on the website mediamatters.org, "This is both a confession and a call to arms. For the past several years, I have been secretly involved in a secret scheme to secretly force religion -- Christianity, in particular -- from the public square. This secret has been laid bare, however, so now I can publicly and proudly proclaim that I am a member of the secular-progressive plot pithily dubbed "The War on Christmas," and have been authorized by the founder and leader of this movement, George Soros, to acknowledge its existence and call upon our fellow Christmas-haters to make themselves known and to take our no-longer secret campaign to the streets. Down with Christmas!"


Fox News host Bill O'Reilly claimed that "it's all part of the secular progressive agenda ... to get Christianity and spirituality and Judaism out of the public square." He then added: "[B]ecause if you look at what happened in Western Europe and Canada, if you can get religion out, then you can pass secular progressive programs, like legalization of narcotics, euthanasia, abortion at will, gay marriage, because the objection to those things is religious-based, usually."

What do we do? Well we don't back down...that's for sure.
1. Greet those you encounter this year with a sincere "Merry Christmas."
2. Take every opportunity in conversation to tell what Christmas means to you and why.
3. Invite friends, neighbors, and work associates to attend church with you this year.
There are many opportunities like musicals, dramas, etc.
4. Decorate your homes to the Glory of God.

The world is "hell bent" (no apology coming) on removing His presence from society. We are called to be salt and light. Let's be who He has called us to be. Some may think that this will go away and that people like this have no hope of succeeding.

Remember,"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing."
