Just to be honest with the world, I am tired of “happy holidays”, or worse, “winter break”.
Which holiday might we be discussing? Hannukah....celebrated by about 2% of Americans?
Or the fake holiday...can’t even remember its name right now.
OR....could it be Christmas?
Why don’t we get “happy holidays” when it’s ‘ramadan’? In 2016 that will be close to Pentecost and Trinity Sunday.
Is Ben Carson a Seventh Day Adventist or a Mormon?
In before the pro-hitlery, anti-Trumpeteers?
SDA
They could make it illegal to utter happy holidays.
Great! Of course, the President has about zilch control over it, other than what the White House itself might do, but I guess it’s the thought that counts.
7Day Adventist.
They used to be cultish. In the last few decades, they’ve tried to shed their ‘end of the world drama’ and move into a Saturday evangelical type status.
Bully Pulpit.
Government documents unafraid to use the word Christmas, Easter, etc.
There’s a wide-ranging impact.
That is more of a measure of the lack of discernment of America's professing Christians than anything else.
Carson is a cult member who believes you have to keep the OT laws to be saved (dietary, etc.), and who therefore rejects the finished sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. Carson is not a genuine Christian.
I don't believe Trump is either, but at least Trump belongs to a denomination that (technically) holds to biblical doctrine.
Stores can do whatever they want and call it whatever they want. The people have the option to patronize them or not.
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone a few months early!!! LOL....
“I will tell you I’m a good Christian.” Santa Claus, Rudolph, Frosty, eggnog, turkey and all the trimmings. Orthodox as they come!
IBNC (In Before Nick Carraway)
Yep. They founded Kellogg’s cereals as health food because of no pork, no shellfish, vegetarianism, etc. Seriously.
I don’t have problems with people self-imposing such restrictions on themselves, but to teach it is a requirement of Christianity is to be lost in the law.
Trump’s from a Presbyterian background, I believe. His favorite verse is unutterable, because it probably has to do with Jacob and Esau in the middle of Romans. :>)
Don’t you mean “St. Nick Carraway”?
I see what you did there...well played...:-)
Showboating, I prefer to shop at stores that don’t ban employee’s saying Merry Christmas, but really it’s up to the ownership of the stores. If they can survive without my dollars that’s their business, this is really no different than telling a bakery it must bake a wedding cake for queers, the government should not be involved. Now if he would say that he is going to end the war on Christianity in schools and government agencies, then I am with him.
LOL, Trump doesn’t strike me as a Calvinist. I doubt he knows what that term really means - but who knows.
