Thanks for posting this.  You are correct however this article will only witness to a narrow group.  The broadly accepted idea in what calls itself "The Church" is that they can do anything they want.  Lasciviousness is centered in Secular Humanism and man-centered traditions of men and relies on Majority Rules rather than lining up with the Word which clearly indicates how and when He wants to be worshiped.  A study of "Jewish feasts" would benefit.

Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

 "Quake Kills 23 in Central Italy" ~ The Halloween earthquake in Italy should have been a warning.  G~d really does have an opinion and is bringing judgment to those who deny Him.  More here:  42

2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

 Would Your Church Allow You To Be Like Jesus?
 A Christmas Birthday Party
 Too Long in the Sun

It is a divisive issue but that is indeed what the L~rd is about.  Sheep and goats.

Mt 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Lu 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

Considering that Christianity emerged only 1700 or 2000 years ago, when could it have scheduled its major celebrations --

and NOT been on or about the time of year when one pagan deity or another, among the thousands of them, had not had his or her festival?

This is a canard, tired of hearing about it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, Merry Christmas, and I predict that will mean something after Trent Lott and Kyoto and Harare and all the rest of today's ills are dusty ancient history.

Your God, a God who you claim kills children in Italy because they're having a Halloween party, and who sends a tornado to destroy a Walmart because George Bush is talking to the Palestinians, isn't a God to love and worship. In the words of Mark Twain, he's a malign thug, someone to be detested and reviled. It's Christians like you, who claim you have the only correct interpretation of the Bible and a perfect insight into God's mind, and who tell the world that every bad thing that happens is God's punishment for whatever sin YOU happen to decide, who discredit religion and make Christians the figures of mockery they are in the culture today. Why don't you argue that the kids killed in Italy were killed by God in retaliation for their parents voting for the Socialist candidate? Why don't you argue that the tornado hit the Walmart because God objects to Chinese sweatshops? How come God doesn't strike down the Palestinians when Bush talks to them, and instead strikes down innocent Wal-Mart customers who probably couldn't point to Israel on a map?
