The Battle Flag and Christianity

First they banned prayer in schools.  Then they removed nativity scenes on courthouse grounds.
Then they removed the Ten Commandments from the Alabama Supreme Court.  Next came the “War on Christmas”  involving the omission of the word “Christmas” from office and Government calendars to be substituted with “Holiday”.  According to Wikipedia “The expression ‘War on Christmas’ has often been used to denote Christmas-related controversy in the media.  The term gained notability due in part to its use by conservative commentators such as Peter Brimelow and Bill O’Reilly beginning in the early 2000s.

The claim among Brimelow, O’Reilly, and some other prominent media figures and personalities was that any specific mention of the term “Christmas” or its religious aspects was being increasingly censored, avoided, or discouraged by a number of advertisers, retailers, government (prominently schools), and other public and secular organizations.”

Rightfully, these attacks have enraged and equally neutered Christians throughout the Country.  Just when you think they’ve gone as far as they can…but wait  – there’s more.

  1. "I was able to convince three ministers of music that the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” should not be considered a Christian hymn by simply directing them to information on Julia Howe and her humanist views and the history of the so called “hymn”."


    That is one song that you will not hear us singing at our church.

  2. Go back to the good old fashion Christmas' where commercialism is eliminated. That should hurt the blood
    suckers of Christmas and bring back the true meaning of
    Christmas.
