It seems only fitting that I bring this up over the Easter Holiday. If the government erroneously continues to legislate policies that ban God or religion from the public square why then does it consider Christmas and to a lesser extent Good Friday as Holidays?
Just Wondering.

First, some history. When the nation was first formed, you had to be a Christian to hold public office. Try having the modern day leftist explain that one.
ReplyDeleteRush Limbaugh says that Christmas was established as a secular holiday honoring a great teacher, Jesus Christ, for his teachings.
Not everyone is a fan of Martin Lutheran King, Jr. They still take his holiday off. Many minorities dislike George Washington because of the slave issue. But they take President's Day holiday off. Not everyone who goes out drinking on St. Patrick's day is Irish. How many Americans actually put flowers on graves over Memorial Day? Is the Fourth of July a day to remember those who died giving us our freedom or a day to picnic and fish? Do only union laborers get Labor Day off? How many people stuff their faces until they can't move on Thanksgiving without giving thanks to the God who made it all possible?
To some, Easter is a day of the Easter Bunny and family celebrations. To many, Christmas is a day of Santa Claus and running up you credit card balance.
These holidays were establish at a time when you stayed in the house on Sunday morning till noon because you didn't want the neighbors to know that you didn't go to church. These holidays were made when a check written on Sunday had to be dated Monday or it wasn't any good. I remember when the stores were closed on Sundays or of respect for the Sabbath. These holidays were established when it was fashionable to be a believer instead of being fashionable to be a scoffer.
