Post by El CastorPost by GaryThey must now be working in our country. Up til a few years ago,
everywhere I went in December I saw advertisements cerebrating
Christmas. In recent years, I see fewer. Now they all seem to
refer to Christmas as "the holiday". I suppose certain people don't
like the word "Christ". And they seem to be winning out.
"Y'all have a merry holiday".
Still Christmas for me -- with a Christmas tree , which I have never
heard referred to as a holiday tree.
I really am curious as to what is happening. It seems to me Christmas
in my town has about disappeared. For instance, I can drive to the
shopping mall. (about 5 miles). On the way, I pass through about
four suburban neighborhoods. In the past, there would be several
(20 or 30?) houses with Christmas decorations in the yard and on the
house. Lights, trees and statues. This week -- not a single one
was decorated. What's happened ? I have read some comments about
some groups wanting to do away with Christmas. I don't know which
groups -- but they seem to be accomplishing that.
Just wondering.
Liberals oppose religion, and Christianity in particular. They resent
religion's monopoly on the rules of morality. Liberalism is itself
very much like a religion in that it has its own rules of morality. As
I heard a Rabbi put it, religion defines where we come from, what we
should do while we are here, and what happens to us when we die --
which describes liberalism to a tee. Liberals like to define people on
the basis of identity groups. They can relate to smaller victim
groups, like Gays and domestic Muslims, which they cater to and
enthusiastically support. A large competitor like Christianity is the
enemy, and the holidays and trees of the enemy are to be looked down
upon.
