Over at Cao’s Blog, there is an interesting post about Christianity being under attack. She makes some points that are pretty compelling. My liberal wife and I had a rather heated “discussion” on this topic the other day. Even though I am not outwardly religious or a churchgoer, the post-election rhetoric from the left demeaning people of faith has been hard to miss.
I believe I saw it first on Lileks, but this effort to make Christmas into nothing more than a secular spend-fest is growing ever more apparent. Check out the U.S. Postal Service holiday stamps on line. Let’s see, they advertise Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, EID, and the freakin’ Lunar New Year. What do they call the Madonna and Child stamp: Holiday Traditional. So, when did Christmas become a dirty word?
Oh yeah, Cao also links to a hilarious animation that nails this issue in a manner that would make the South Park boys proud. It’s on the top left and is called “No Christmas for You”. Warning: strong language. But then again, strong language is sometimes called for.
UPDATE: If I were a dyslexic atheist I’d say I don’t have a god in this fight. Credit where credit is due, Mr. Lileks is the master.
