Let’s take the religion out of it, and just contemplate the Holiday that was devoted to the man.
Christmas was declared a federal holiday on June 26, 1870 to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. We have a Lincoln and Washington Birthday and MLK birthday. The nativity scene depicts Jesus’ birth.
I fail to see the controversy here and esp I fail to understand why the Nativity scene was taken down.
Good point.
The creche was taken down because one thing that the US is lacking in is leadership. No one has the cojones to stand up for what is truly right and just. They are scared, cowardly, intimidated, bullied and/or confused.
We have become a nation of pussies. Those who do stand up for principles are vilified and called racist, homophobe, intolerant, bigoted, extremist, etc.
