Can Someone Tell Me How This Stands For Christmas and The Birth of Christ? (Google Mocks Christ)
Google Homepage

Posted on 12/25/2006 8:51:33 PM PST by My Favorite Headache

And this means what on the day of Christmas? A kangaroo with its joey in the pouch? This is a total mocking of the birth of Christ in my opinion.

This old song sort of sums up some of the symbolism of the gifts:

We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.

Refrain

O star of wonder, star of light,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.

Refrain

Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, voices raising,
Worshipping God on high.

Refrain

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone cold tomb.

Refrain

Glorious now behold Him arise;
King and God and sacrifice;
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Sounds through the earth and skies.

Refrain

Well I see the sarcasm has over flowed the thread now...I will leave it up to the comedians and yourself to run the show from here on out

Wait a minute---you were serious? this whole time?

I think that's the saddest thing I've ever heard.

You're a Rush fan - listen to "Anthem" again tonight. You need a shot of libertarian spirit to overcome this temporary side-trip into neo-Puritanism. ;)

The wisemen carried frankincense and myrrh. Items used in funerals to mask the smell of a dead body. Myrrh was also used as an embalming ointment.

When you see what you love being belittled, it's hard - this is behind a lot of the stridency in the muslim world, and it's part of the struggle of knowing just how to behave in a world where Christianity is mocked regularly...It's easy to get over sensitized, or to find the right note that says, "I don't care what you think world. I will believe Jesus Christ is Lord until the end."

Definitely a tricky balance point.

"I think you have way too much time on your hands."

I say the same thing about freepers answering "Chat" threads on the FR on Christmas Day.

With yourself at the top of the list :)

I LOVE the google cartoons. It's always something charming and innocent and fun.

I'm satisfied that God will have his way in this culture war. Not to worry.

Thanks for the info. I remember the first verse to that song, but I've either never heard the rest or never paid attention. And I never knew exactly what frankincense and myrrh were used for, other than being aromatic.

You're missing the whole point of this thread.

The evil purpose of the kangaroo cartoon was to mock the birth of Christ and lead the masses surfing the net into Hell. In a charming and fun manner. Wake up!
