We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!

Keep Christ out and we are guaranteed to have more and more of our religious rights removed. The way the world is going, we will soon be in the tribulation.

I guess Atheists made up the Greek alphabet?

Is that what happened to you? I have no clue as to why you are introducing the above opinion. So that's why I'm asking if it was your own personal experience?

I use x-mas because I don't see much Christ like behavior going on, instead it's gimme, gimme, spend , spend until your in dept, maxed out! Stupid! Beside it's not my b-day or yours so why all the guilt and pressure to buy a bunch of cheap junk that breaks or gets tossed out! They should rename the Holiday to Consumer Day, because that's what it has become!

I see nothing wrong with family's and friends getting together having a dinner, just spending the day thinking on Christ.

But I still beleive people have the right to do whatever they feel when it comes to X-Mas!

Amen, you are correct. People can celebrate whatever they want, do as they very well please. As for me and mine we will refuse the Mithra bush and his celebration. The Dec 25th holiday has nothing to do with Christ, and people go to great measures to show the world that Jesus has nothing to do with the Yule Tide. As you said Sister, they are nasty as nails when it comes to this festival.
