I have to confess to being somewhat amused by all the anti-Christian evangelical atheists at this time of year. Now admittedly, I’m not one who worries much at all about any supposed "War on Christmas" in our culture. I find people who say "Happy Holidays" to be polite, and the most offensive thing to me about the cups at Starbucks is the fact that they are so tiny in proportion to the bank loan you have to take out to pay for them.
That being said, I can't help wanting to point and laugh at the overenthusiastic swarm of "nones" (the hip new term for God-deniers) that consider it their solemn duty to sniff out any public acknowledgement of Jesus this time of year and sue its pants off. They aren't content just not believing. They need to make sure no one else does either. That's why they should properly be classified as evangelical atheists because proselytizing their dogmatic unbelief is apparently how they find self-worth.
What's rather ironic is that as many American Christians have become increasingly apathetic towards their faith, donning the sweater vest once a year for the Christmas Eve service as part of their bi-annual trips to check in with God, American "nones" have become aggressively fanatical. There is far more zealotry in an atheist community seeking to legally impose their non-belief in the public square than in churchgoers who want to keep their school's candlelight singing of "Silent Night" at the Christmas concert an ongoing tradition.
The atheists' obsessive devotion to their cause is astounding for people who claim not to believe in the "myth" of Christmas.
After all, I don’t believe in Santa Claus, but the thought of filing a lawsuit to keep some overweight 6th grader from dressing up in a red costume

I look at it this way, most of those who don’t believe in the Christmas “myth” are big believers in the “global warming” hoax and scam. Liberals.
Devout atheists are such a pain.
Instinctively I moved forward with a protective impulse, holding the Crucifix and Wafer in my left hand. I felt a mighty power fly along my arm; and it was without surprise that I saw the monster cower back before a similar movement made spontaneously by each one of us. It would be impossible to describe the expression of hate and baffled malignity--of anger and hellish rage--which came over the Count's face. His waxen hue became greenish-yellow by the contrast of his burning eyes, and the red scar on the forehead showed on the pallid skin like a palpitating wound.
If you believe in nothing, you’ll fall for anything.
Atheists ,Muslims and Vegans just can’t mind their own business
Atheism is a belief system.
We have a government imposed religion, ie secular humanism.
Leftist are so stupid. The wise men weren’t Christians, or even Jews. They weren’t informed by angels or in a dream of the event, they were pagan astrologers, superstitious but aware of the significance of the very real sign in the heavens.
IMO, they didn’t fully understand the significance of the baby’s birth, only that he was marked for greatness, and of royal birth.
They don’t have to worry about the Nativity in DC. They could never find three wise men and a virgin.
They’d settle for lawn flamingos and garden gnomes.
I have always believed in God but in the past ten years as I peruse the internet... I see atheists making many good points about Christians who are lost in the ozone. Giving credit to God when he had nothing to do with it. He was too busy straitening out other matters.
Internet atheism has made me more hard headed. Christianity used to have a good balance between justice and mercy but in todays feminized era we have let the mercy component dominate such as in open borders policies
Agreed. They are Liberals, and I regard them as no more my kind than most Freepers regard members of Black Liberation Theology to be Christian.
God always has something to do with it; otherwise, nothing would work.
Merry Christmas!
It was perhaps 30 years ago that I read Bram Stoker's Dracula for the first time, and it was because of that book that for the first time I grasped the nature of evil. It was later that I read Augustine's description of evil as privatio boni, but I understood it, because of the way Stoker portrayed Count Dracula. Thank you for reminding me of this.
Merry Christmas!
holiday is derived from holyday - look it up before they rewrite that history too.
I’m pretty sure God can multi-task.
***Three Wise Men are no different.***
Reminds me of an old cartoon from about fifty years ago.
A man is bowing on his knees before a window display of the Three Wise Men. He says to his wife..
“To you, they are just Three Wise Men. To Me, they are the Patron Saints of Advertising!”
***The wise men weren’t Christians, or even Jews.***
In a book WORD KEYS WHICH UNLOCK CHRISTMAS by Duane Edward Spencer, he showed the Wise Men were probably Jews of the dispersion who remained in the East, and had become a part of the Persian Court.
Interesting conjecture, but still conjecture.
