It states, "Wishing you every happiness for this season and throughout the coming year." It also contains the verse from Psalm 91:2, "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust." No specific reference to Christmas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088893.post-1133993398756852412005-12-07T17:09:00.000-05:002005-12-07T17:09:00.000-05:00I am utterly stunned by the apparently serious com...I am utterly stunned by the apparently serious comment by the Catholic League president that sending out "holiday" cards shows the President has "capitulated to the worst elements of our culture."<BR/><BR/>So, let's see, we have murderers, terrorists, child molestors (including some of our catholic clergy), thieves. Who are we missing? Oh, people who send warm greetings in December.<BR/><BR/>The Catholic League and their far-right fundy friends really need to gain some perspective on true injustice and suffering in the world.<BR/><BR/>This would be hilarious if it were'nt so sadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088893.post-1133992578588939322005-12-07T16:56:00.000-05:002005-12-07T16:56:00.000-05:00Ok, the changing of the logo might be going a litt...Ok, the changing of the logo might be going a little too far, but I have never seen it so I reserve final judgement. Dose it have jesus nailed to a cross, or just some crosses?<BR/><BR/>Living in NYC, there are more religions that I can count on all 16 of my fingers and toes. Hell if I am going to try to remember who is jewish, hindu, christian, muslim, etc. For me it is a a generic 'happy holiday.' <BR/><BR/>My feeling is - if saomeone says 'Merry Christmas' and you are not christian, don't get offended. They are just trying to wish you well. If you are christian and someone says, 'happy holidays.' don't get offended. That is just their gig.<BR/><BR/>But christians are going to have to get over the fact that they are not the one and only religion in this country and not the only religion that celebrates in December.<BR/><BR/>Besides, isn't christmas supposed to be about love, peace and understanding?Dingohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04386587646469853172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088893.post-1133988465025351442005-12-07T15:47:00.000-05:002005-12-07T15:47:00.000-05:00I'm blaming this on John Gibson and his damn book,...I'm blaming this on John Gibson and his damn book, and the fact that he has a platform at Fox news where he is trying to increase his sales. There have been some very ridiculous moves by the so called anit religion crowd, my favorite so far is the attempt to force Las Cruces to change the city logo to not include crosses. I guess the city can keep the name of The Crosses since it's in Spanish and it's not offensive in another language. Or something. This war on Christmas nonsense is the reciprical response by the idiot brigade on the other side. At least I understand where John Gibson is coming from, for him this is all about book sales and money, for everyone else, well...I don't know.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's become the national pastime to look around and see if we can find someway that we've been slighted. I'm sure I can think of something if I put my mind to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
