The Birth of Our Lord Versus Modern Day Fascism

 

Christmas is a celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Why in today’s society we find ourselves in situations where we supposed to say “Happy Holidays” instead of proclaiming “Merry Christmas”?  This is bizarre! If we live in a free society, how come we have become the people of Political Correctness?  The pathetic irony is everyone can offend you if you are a Christian, but if you are a Jew or Muslim or Pagan your beliefs must be respected. Where is our liberty to be a Christian?

 

We are at the crossroads of something quite serious.   Almost half the movies today have an anti-Christian bias and most are blatant. Our Courts, acting as lawmakers, are allowing for almost anything to be established except a Christian Conservative standard. Since when is the law based on what offends! The ACLU has declared an all out war against Christians trying to strip any mention of God even in historical documents taught in our schools. Speaking about our Schools, the Muslims in our schools locally are given a prayer room to practice in the school and yet the school must be sterilized of any references to Christ! WHY!

 

The Anti-Christian Fascism of today is telling us how to think, what to say, or else (God forbid) “We will sue you because that offends us ”.  Companies instruct their employees to say “Happy Holidays” instead of  “Merry Christmas” not because it is better for business, but because they are afraid of getting sued!

 

Well, I am offended!  I am offended at the attacks we Conservative Christians endure time and time again. How we constantly have the liberal fascists place a muzzle over our mouth!  Why can’t I say what someone is doing is wrong!  Why is my God given right to say “Merry Christmas” whenever I want muzzled.

 

It is time we start yelling, writing and even suing them because we are “offended” as our Freedoms are violated!

 

Don’t be afraid to say “Merry Christmas”. No matter how hard they try, they will never take “Christ” out of Christmas.

 

It is not “The Spirit of Christmas” but “The Spirit of God’s Love at Christmas”.

 

Christ endured the Cross for us to be free from death, not slaves to the Atheists who is offended at our declaration that Christ is Born- Glorify Him!  

 

Merry Christmas! Say it with fervor and strength!

 

Christ is Born! Glorify Him!

 

In Christ’s Love,
