ok, i’m at a loss over how the libs can justify the attack on Christianity. they claim they are trying to avoid offending people, but that just doesn’t track.

for instance, if 85% of the US is Christian, and 95% celebrate Christmas (i’ve never been sure how that works)... then you add the 3% that are jewish... you would cover 98% of the US population by saying ‘Merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah’

in that situation, you run a risk of ‘offending’ 2% of the population. BUT, if you deliberately ignore one of the biggest holy days in the Christian faith, you run a risk of pissing off at least a 25-30% of the Christians.

this is FAR worse, isn’t it? how can the business types actually justify it?

meanwhile, in this commercial atmosphere... if 30% of the population is pissed, and you decided to ‘come out of the closet’ and actually start ENDORSING Christmas, your company could reap the benefit of that pissed off 30% coming to your stores instead

thoughts?

Your logic is sound.

It requires however an enraged and mobilized Christian population.

Coming soon (I hope) to a town near you.

I think we are reaching the tipping point on this and other issues dictated by loud mouthed minorities, whose views are HUGELY over-represented in American society.

Its beacuse Christians dont sepeak up ( or didnt until recently) -
I think its because Christians think “meek and mild” includes denying Christ publicly.
nope. Jesus also had the “drive money lenders out with a cord” going on.
Maybe its time we realize that God isnt milquetoast and isnt asking us to be?
There is a time to kncok the dust off our feet and man up.
Probably past time to do that. Looks like the pope has already started.

1. Never assume “liberal” reactions have any relation to logic.
2. Never assume “Christians of differing sects” have anything of overriding importance in common.

If one always bears in mind the above points, it is fairly simple to comprehend the whole of humanity.
