Not really too sure who this jerk is you got up there Bucketback . . . but he needs a good thrashing or head whacking.

Yes . . . some of the stuff he is spouting is the "truth" . . . bare knuckled and ugly "truth" . . . which follows in the same line of many other things we hold near and dear. Sometimes the truth is something that hurts almost as much as it helps.

Should we all make fun of George Washington because he wore hand carved wooden false teeth? I don't think so.

Should we make fun of JFK because he was dumb enough to run his PT boat in front of a Jap destroyer so it got cut in half? I don't think so.

Should we post the names of all the prostitutes who came thru the white house when FDR was president? Wouldn't solve any problems . . .

This knuckle headed jerk is trying to prove to his congregation that he is "THE" man with the truth . . . only he is the truthful one . . .

Jesus Christ was born . . . the date is insignificant . . . the place is as well . . . the important thing is HE WAS BORN . . . the son of almighty God . . . to save us from our sins.

Should we celebrate it? Only two options . . . celebrate or ignore . . . I'll choose celebrate . . . and I'll ignore those who don't. They are even less significant in the sight of God than they are in my sight.

How we celebrate it is up to us . . . is it a lie to talk about Santa Claus? Yes . . . no red suited dude comes from the north pole on Dec 25 bringing presents. Was there a real Saint Nicolas . . . history says there was . . . and many miracles have been attributed to his intercessional prayer for the sick and lame . . . and he has been "stretched" into Santa Claus . . .

His history is worth repeating as a mighty man of God . . . and a tongue in cheek reference to his miracles being "gifts" no one else could bestow.

Is Dec 25 . . . THE DAY Jesus was born . . . probably not . . . but to tie it to some insignificant but coincidental other date in history is about one short step away from blasphemy.

Is decorating a tree wrong . . . some folks find it is thru a couple of oblique verses in the Bible . . . but when it is decorated . . . a star put on top . . . and done in the name of Jesus to mark His birth . . . I look at it as a positive thing.

But I better get off my soap box . . .

May God bless,
Dwight

I put my thoughts in "Tin Foil Hat " for this reason. I may have tinfoil in my hat, but lots of churches, aka corporations pray at the altar of the 501C, and follow pagan customs.

Hence why the Old Testament was supposedly fulfilled on Easter.

Per my Christian name, I am a " Doubting Thomas "

On Dec. 25, 1789, the U.S Congress met in session. The nation was without a president — the country’s first national election, which began earlier that month, would not conclude until January. While some residents in the nascent United States marked the day as Christmas, for most Americans it was just a Friday in December.

That changed almost 150 years ago when President Ulysses S. Grant signed legislation making Christmas a federal holiday in the District of Columbia. That gave federal workers Christmas Day off. The legislation, signed into law on June 28, 1870, also made New Year’s Day and July 4 federal holidays as well as Thanksgiving, although the date of that holiday had yet to be determined.

Christmas had been celebrated in some states — especially those in the South where it was part of the social calendar. Alabama declared Christmas a legal holiday in 1836 and Louisiana and Arkansas followed in 1838.

In 1997, the world mourned Princess Diana after car crash in Paris [historic front page]

But in northern states there was considerable pushback about a Christmas celebration. The Pilgrims who arrived in New England did not celebrate Christmas. They saw the holiday as a decadent man-made invention. They were not alone. Anabaptists, Quakers and Puritans also believed celebrating Christmas was sinful.
