The broken record that is Mat Staver, founder of the Religious Right group Liberty Counsel, is at it again: Christmas is under attack. Christmas is under attack. Christmas is under attack.

You could have fooled me. I stopped in a local mall last weekend, and it sure looked to me like Christmas was in full swing. On my way there, I passed more than one church with a Nativity scene on its lawn. Based on the decorations on my block alone, which include both the secular and the sacred, you’d have a hard time not knowing it’s Christmastime.

Staver was featured prominently in a story issued by OneNewsNow, a right-wing “news” outfit owned by the Rev. Donald Widmon’s American Family Association. OneNewsNow exists primarily to provide an alternative source to right-wingers who can’t abide the regular news – you know, news anchored in reality.

I believe people need to study and find out what is the true meanings around Easter and Christmas and etc:, Facts around them and how do they relate to the Bible. For there is a lot of lies around most of them. If you say it's religious is why? Or Jesus Birthday. Then you are wrong. God hates lies, and they are full of lies. Do your research. I have did research for over 30 years. I do not do Easter, Halloween, nor Christmas because they are counterfit. Satan is over them not God. Where there is lies is Satan.

It's not Satan it was the church who placed the holidays near the Pagan holidays to help convert the Pagans to Christianty, if you want to blame someone then blame the Roman church not Satan.

Wait now... Satan controls Christmas, Halloween & Easter? Counterfeit?

My my, do you ever need help!

Calm down, take those meds your doc prescribed for rapid-onset transient psychotic breaks from reality, and witness and enjoy the social love and generosity that Christmas, in all it's once-pagan (which, btw, does NOT mean "of Satan", just in case you aren't aware..) history and crass commercialism brings us every year.

Now I, as an informed adult, simply tune out the admittedly endless WalMart, Target, The Gap, etc. commercials, start a nice warm fire and sip on my hot toddy. Oh yeah; I forgot: alcohol is probably also known to you as "Spirits of Satan", distilled, right?

Otherwise, do you sit in the dark and yowl at the rest of society, hoping your God will come on down (he, or his son are hugely overdue according to the bible, btw..) and make it all right for you? I'll also point out that the Church, in all it's glory for literally millennia, have purposefully and daily lied to it's congregation in order to be able to better "handle" them. Seems they may have succeeded in your case.


Lighten up, sis! Soon enough you and I and, heck, every living thing, will be gone. Better to try to enjoy it than go all dark and miserable.

Peace on Earth and goodwill towards men!

Satan has already infiltrated Christmas. He put on about 100 pounds, a white stick-on beard and a red suit and re-arranged his name to Santa and voila!

- "Christmas' will not be done away with.

It's A Money Maker!

If atheists ever think of a way for "Christmas" not to be a Money Maker?

THEN, we can believe "Christmas" Will Be UNDER Attack.

But mostly scare tactics of such chicken littles christians?
Is because their not Making As Much Money 0n their sermons anymore.
