Neo-Con “War on Christmas” just a Publicity Stunt to Get Free Media Time to Sell the Obsolete Christian Myth – Civil War / Implosion within Christianity Spills Out over into the Streets

There is no war on Christmas. 

Wal-Mart is making record profits selling cheap shitty Christmas junk made by slave labor in China.

Nobody in a secular world wants to hear the ten trillionth repeat of the Constantine Christ Myth make up seventeen hundred years ago and hijacked from the original now extinct “Christians”.

The political decision for the political Neo-Cons who hate women and genuine freedom of expression are marking their territory like dogs saying that only white male entitled Constantine Myth can and must continue to be displayed in the public realm in America.

That once the public square must show a white person Nativity Scene, the next display will be anti-abortion or anti-gay billboards, changing with the seasons and or the whim of Massa Jim DeMint over at the White Massa Club aka as the tax free Heritage Foundation.

If anything, with Irish drunks like Bill O’Reilly and Bill Donohue being the main spokesmen for the myth of the war on Christmas, the implosion of the Vatican and right wing American Christian organizations whose main income now is not from individual contributions but the American Taxpayer through the George W.Bush Faith Based “charity” rip off – that implosion is showing in this phony PR War for Media Attention at Christmas.

The Civil War going on in the Catholic Church, whereby Cultural Catholics, Cafeteria Catholics, Closeted Clergy, Uber(I am holier than the pope)-Catholics and others who cannot sit down together and look their fellow Catholics in the eye in their ancient made up service, is the reason why so much of this vitriol of Christians spills out onto the sidewalks and into the public squares in America at this time of the year.

Please go back to the old days and gather inside your houses of worship and keep your evil shit to yourselves.

The last thing mentioned in the War on Christmas is Christ. The symbols of the infinite made up dogma in a diverse society cling to obscurity and the impossible hope of revival.

Whatever.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Human Light Holiday - 2009

The so-called War on Christmas did not have much energy this year. Everybody is recycling lights and decorations, those lucky enough to still have their own home. The economy and the massive PR efforts on politics in Health Care legislation has exhausted any patience or tolerance for additional nonsense about the right way to celebrate Christmas – the right talk and the right walk etc. this year.

Indeed Senator Coburn’s recent Prayer on the United States Senate floor to pray for God to strike down Senator Byrd, 92, in a wheelchair, to not make it for a rare One A.M. Senate vote on Healthcare says it all to me about the mean spirited Grinch like love of GOP "Christ-Inane-ity".

The War on Christianity is a self inflicted wound like flagellation. The more you beat yourself, the holier you and your cause becomes? Yeah right.

The War on Christmas is largely I think a time killer on entertainment news which in the Bush years would not dare investigate or report misconduct in government.

Make an artificial enemy out there and blame them for America not being as white or as Christian as it used to be.

Ran into an interesting article about how many foreign born or non-Christians deal with “the December Dilemma” because they do not celebrate their cultural or religious holidays in December.

For many, December's a dilemma

"We definitely had a little bit of anxiety in childhood," Tarin said. But that changed as he grew up and refined his American Muslim persona amid the American atmosphere of diversity and tolerance.

Now, where he and his family live in northern Virginia, "we don't celebrate Christmas. We celebrate our holidays" -- pointing, for example, to Eid al-Fitr after Ramadan and Eid al-Adha after the hajj pilgrimage. But he welcomes the goodwill of the season -- the gift-exchanges with non-Muslim neighbors and the requests from schoolteachers to talk about Muslim holidays.

And

Interfaith couples celebrate their diversity during the Christmas season. Jeff Silver, a certified public accountant who is Jewish, and Shweta Gupta, a dentist who is Hindu, are planning their marriage next year. They will have an interfaith household and said they hope to raise children to understand both of their traditions. At their home in Atlanta, they've set up a holiday tree decorated with Hindu and Jewish ornaments.

And

Non-religious Americans embrace a December "secular holiday" called HumanLight.

Patrick Colucci, vice chair of the HumanLight Committee and member of the New Jersey Humanist Network, said the holiday can uplift "atheist, humanist and nonreligious" people who feel left out and isolated during Christmas.

Which brings me to the Human Light holiday celebrated today December 23. Never heard of it before today. It is a man made holiday by Humanists to make – I won’t say non-believers but perhaps non-conformists – have a day of celebration and gathering in the midst of all the other pagan year end celebrating.

HumanLight

The energy of the diversity of America is sometimes a surprise and delightful.

Happy Human Light Holiday to you all !

(– and that includes Bill O’Reilly and Bill Donahue too. XOXO)
