I find it interesting that you seem to use the testimony of atheists to build your case. Seems rather incongruent for a Christian to do that.
Actually, it is not incongruent. When I saw the video, it was then I decided I must write this piece, with the prompting of the Holy Spirit. As I wrote, I’m no fan of American Atheists and their many lawsuits against anything Christian. Yes, it would seem odd that I make a statement agreeing with them that Christ is not in Christmas, because they are correct on that point. For the most part, He is not. And it is a sad irony that atheists celebrate Christmas. That tells me there are many appealing aspects of Christmas to the secular non-believer, and that should not be the case. If Christmas truly were about Christ, there is no way an atheist would be celebrating it. And that’s why we now have the politically correct, “Happy Holidays” rather than “Merry Christmas.”
