Here's my concern. The effort to remove "Under God" from the pledge and from our currency is part of the war the left has declared on Christianity in particular, and religion in general.

These people also now want Christmas trees to be called "Holiday" trees..next they will want the holiday itself named what?

So, here's what I think should happen. We should rename Martin Luther King Day, Anti-Bigotry Day and combine MLK Day with Cesar Chavez Day. This would, of course, incorporate Rosa Parks Day, which I'm sure is just around the corner.

If Christians and Christmas are under threat by the Left, then I believe, we as a country should be consistent.

I for one, will be wishing folks a Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah. I refuse to wish people happy holidays. Christmas is a religious holiday...so is Hanukkah. I will not relegate them to secular status.

BTW, I'm an Orthodox Jew who grew up in a Christian country and, as chance would have it, Rabbi Daniel Lapin's Dad, was MY Rabbi at one point in Cape Town, South Africa.

That's a good idea.

I do believe however these attempts by the secularists to remove God will impact Jews just as much. Same God. Whether you read Isaiah or Daniel They both tell us what the future holds for us when mankind rejects God. We can already see the results Godlessness is bringing.

Happy Hannukah.

"Rabbi Daniel Lapin's Dad, was MY Rabbi at one point in Cape Town, South Africa."

If his dad was anything like him, then his dad must have been great! Every time I read an article by Rabbi Daniel Lapin posted by Alouette or someone else, I find myself applauding. He hits the nail on the head about a lot of issues! Quite a few other Christians at FR feel the same way!
