Christmas belongs to the Pagans, What does a conifer in your living room have to do with Jesus? Jesus horned in on the high pagan holiday which featured nature and excess as it's core propose. The Pagans were celebrating the Winter Solstice that meant the rebirth of the earth. The Christians hated this holiday and stuck the birth of Jesus in it's place knowing full well he was born in the spring. So next time you see a manger on the capital lawn stick a flaming yule log in it. Let’s get the facts straight.

Christmas hasn't been the same since the Christians stole it from the Romans! I, for one, wish to get back to the TRUE spirit of Christmas: Partying, Presents, and Debauchary!

With the addition of political viewpoints and religion, man hasn't a chance to overcome himself. War on christmas? Drugs? Terror? Poverty? Zero tolerance - how can we teach our children tolerance if our scholastic system touts zero tolerance? We cannot! Too many wars. We are drowning in the blood. Add Hegelian dialectic processes, and the blood turns to rivers. Praying will not stop it. Neither will hoping. Living by the sword brings dying by the sword. Have your "wars", just leave me out of them. Prejudice, extremist viewpoints, and racism plague mankind at all turns.

We cannot!

Too many wars. We are drowning in the blood.

Add Hegelian dialectic processes, and the blood turns to rivers.

Praying will not stop it. Neither will hoping.

Living by the sword brings dying by the sword.

Have your “wars”, just leave me out of them.

It far more than a political book. It is an awesome Christian manifesto on the culture war. See 30 5-star ratings at Amazon... http://www.amazon.com/Black-Belt-Patriotism-Reawaken-America/dp/1596985585 I just finished Chuck Norris’ “Black Belt Patriotism.” It far more than a political book.
