Happy HollyDaze
I heartily agree with what Mishima666 said: the Religious Right is nothing without an enemy to rage against. Any enemy. So, every season, they take out their list of grievances against the secular world, and start howling about 'attacks' on Christmas, Easter, Christianity, and [insert item here].
It's gotten much worse in the past few years. Their angry ranting is everywhere, gumming up civilized discourse in a phlegm of hateful resentment of everything remotely secular. Their fears are played upon and amplified by the leaders in their parallel universe, and they spill from their churches, to infest everything around them with their hate and fear.
Funny, I thought that Christianity was about love and tolerance, not hate and fear. This Christmas craziness is simply another inflamation of something that has gone very wrong with Christianity.
