The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
THERE WILL BE NO THREATS OF ANY KIND AT THIS BLOG, TO POLITICIANS OR OTHER COMMENTERS. thank you.
Christmas to me is an attitude, a kinda cloud or energy field that the planet goes through as it reaches the outermost stretch of its path around the power center. It’s a time when the nights are longest in the northern hemisphere, and the coldest, but people know that in just a short time the nights will get shorter and the days longer, and the light and warmth will return.
Over the centuries, a hodgepodge collection of traditions, myths, rituals, and festivals have established a season of hospitality, of sharing, of feasting, of warmth even during the coldest time of the year.
And that’s a good thing, and it’s generally contagious somehow, with even Jews and Buddhists and Hindus and perhaps even a few reasonable Muslims finding their spirits lifted and their sense of well-being enhanced simply because others have decorated their homes and their streets to create an atmosphere of joy and happiness, no matter what the reason.
Of course in any large group of people you can always find a few . . . mostly liberals, Democrats, know-it-alls, and fussbudgets . . . who WANT to be offended because others are being silly, singing old-fashioned songs, wearing funny clothes, and just enjoying themselves and wishing each other a merry Christmas and happy new year.
They don’t want to hear “Merry Christmas” because it excludes them and their non-Christian friends who are killjoys and consider the songs and symbols and images politically incorrect, so here’s what you say to them:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to observe religious or secular traditions at all.
We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures.

So many of us living here in Sun City and away from family are getting together at an open house otherwise it would be like any other day for us all. But as Bocopro mentioned, the attitude is the difference. If only we could make this a year round feeling…………………………….
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR COUNTRY

Bocopro. HA! Isn’t it interesting that the women in particular who subscribe to being PC and saying Happy Holidays (if that) rather than Merry Christmas for total fear of offending non-Christians, kiss the arse of the women abusing moslem vermin. To me, this is a focal point of the problem with our society today.
Get a clue. Figure it out. Pick a side.
