What the left really hates is a God that tells them that they themselves aren't little Gods that can do whatever they want.
Regardless, it doesn't change reality. Jesus is coming! And although the armies of the world will gather in the Valley of Megiddo to stop Him, they will fail.
Two i,portant things that man nust realize and the sooner he does, the better:
1. Their is a God !
2. It is not him (Man)!
I wonder if in that New Jersey school, the band would have the guts to hold a silent Christmas concert:announce that they are complying with the school board directive, know how long each song should take, then sit there for the three minutes or so for the rendition, the director turns and bow to the audience[who, if they are cool at all, will applaud] at the completion of the piece, then "start" the next one.
I know...too grand a statement to make. But it would be funny.
They have to hate Him -- He's not very fond of abortion.
We celebrate the birth of Christ by exchanging gifts in reflection of what the wise men did. If they take Christ out of the "holiday" season, I say we eliminate the GIFTS.
Then businesses will be clamoring to remind us we need to honor the Christ Child.
Christians have made Christmas very attractive to non-Christians and secularists from the standpoint of the vacation days off, the presents, the parties, the bonuses, the family get-togethers. Now Christians are caught in a web of their own making. The non-Christians and secularists love all the Christmas amenities except those that are religious related.
What would happen if Christians eschewed all the non-religious Christmas symbols, bought no gifts for each other and instead donated all the $$$ they would have spent on gifts to charities?
Retailers would suffer, no doubt, and when the blame for that started to be placed, the finger can be turned at all those who sought to take Christ out of Christmas. What they accomplished, we could reply, is that they forced us to examine what Christmas is REALLY all about.
Do Christians have the courage to do that?
The left is very afraid there is a g-d.

Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen
