Alright I've wanted to vent on this for quite some time.
The war on Christmas
This is the act of removing any religious tones from Christmas time.
here is my beef. Christmas is about as Christian as nuns.
Now you're gonna be all like whoa back dat bus up brother nuns are pretty Christian. No... no they are not. "A Nun" might be but their concept is a complete fabrication of the catholic church. Thats what Christmas is made up. It really has no right to have the place it has. I really believe holidays that are meant to be reflective should be like remembrance day. Not celebrated, we observe remembrance day we don't celebrate it. If there is a holiday that should be kept Christian it is easter but still we were never instructed to celebrate like we do. We just decided to. There is so much dogma and tradition stacked on top of the Christian beliefs that it's not recognized as what it is. I am fine with the securalization of Christmas. They say Jesus is the reason for the season but that is wrong too. Pious Catholic Monarchs are the reason for the season. On the flip side I am totally down with Jesus. I quite like him. I really believe that modern leaders of the Church are no better than pharisees. I mean have you seen the pope. He preaches humility and walks around in an extremely extravagant get-up if thats not a contradiction than I don't know what is.
The state of the church today I believe would cause Jesus a lot of table turning

Preach-it Preacher! hahaha, I had an atheist blast me last year, telling me that Jesus wasn't actually born on Dec 25 like it was something I would be shocked by. I was like "Uhh... ya I know."
That being said, I like traditions. I think it's mostly about your heart, you know? Like you said on rememberance day I stop and think of the soldiers that died - on Christmas Eve I stop and think of Jesus' birth, though that can be done anytime I still like the Christmas Eve service when we especially remember.
This is a little off topic,
but are we going to Paris this year to hear pastor Ralph's sermon? Do you know Shane?
About your rant, I wish I could take a position to agree or disagree, but it flew completely over my head. Perhaps all of us sibbies can have a conversation about it face to face sometime soon?
