“What causes a person to wonder about such things?”

Wow. Mariner - I hope you didn’t mean to sound so condescending. It’s not your usual verbage...

All those questions are valid.

I’ve known Christians who can literally such the enjoyment out of the room with their badmouthing of folks who would not celebrate Christmas!

It would range from attempting to shame them, imply they are totally ignorant, going to hell, personally responsible for any illness they may have and that’s for starters.

There are folks who are deep in depression caused by death, rape, murder, theft, abuse and other vile acts. You would have them fake the celebration? That would be called LYING...which, the last time I looked was considered a SIN.

There are those who have not heard the Word explained to them with love and thereby have not actually seen the love of Jesus. Not that I’m pointing fingers.....

This is America. That alone, should be enough to explain free speech and free thought. Not every grants others that gift of free speech and free thought.

If a person does not feel it in their heart out of pain, or more to the point, they are a Non-believer, I **want** to know who they are so I can pray for them and their family members.

More to the point, as with other Christians, I **need** to know who they are so I can do as My Lord instructed...to spread the word of Salvation.
