[Glendora Christianson]

Follks, it has started and my trigger finger is getting very itchy! I was buying stationary at an office supply place, and they had these big signs with a snowman and happy holidays hanging in the store (but nothing about JESUS!!). At the checkout, I asked the strange looking (maybe mooslum) clerk if she believed in Jesus, well, she refused to answer! And then I was escorted out of the store!!! I AM IN TEARS NOW! UPSET GLENDORA (I know Jesus is upset too!)

[Professor Ogden]

I joyfully listened as my first and most favorite hymn of the season, "Silent Night" began in an elevator...except all the words and "Christ the Savior" were not sung...it was all instrumental. Silent Night has certainly gotten silent.

I sang it out lustily anyway and was asked to leave the building.

It is as if they are deliberately threatening and tempting our Lord God Himself...I know that when Jesus returns it will be just before the winter solstice and He will forever quench the sun as we all leave with Him for His home.

Solstice indeed...lost souls one and all and they will lose their sun also...good riddance I say.

Perhaps your story is the epitome of THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS. And it is a war that must be fought on an individual level to be won. I know our Lord Jesus Christ would cry if he knew his birthday songs were turned into elevator music to be played in one of those (Christ killing) Schindler Elevators! Fight our war by carolling as loud as you can whenever you are in a public place!

Not every clerk, Sister Glendora! Me & the Missus was just at the Mall this week and a couple of them clerks were saying "Jesus" and "Christ" (and sometimes both) as they scurried by! They sure seemed to have the Spirit of the Season!

[MatthewRogers20]

My view, is yes I think it is wrong to no bring Jesus into the story of Christmas. We must be clear in understanding what Company's want. They want money. If they put Christian images in there Christmas advertising, then they would loose money. Now it is horrible what happend to you, and we should pray for the company that you went to and hope they become enriched with the word of god. Praying can do alot. Lets help this company and the clerk to see the word of the lord.

On the other hand, can we avoid all companys that put snowmen in there Christmas advertising. I dont think we can can. All companies do this, and it something that we will have to eccept. I also dont think its going to hurt anyone. Its up to us Christians to show the world , who Jesus is. Its our job, to show the truth. Do is with compassion and more people will listen.

[QueenWink]

Not that I'm saying that this is okay to do (because I don't, I think censorship is very wrong). But we do live in America. The politicians never fulfill everyone's desires. They are suppose to complete the will of the public. And the public of America is very diverse. Keeping this in mind, the politicians cannot be biased towards one group of people. Therefore they impose their censorship on something as harmless and classical as Christmas music. Basically, they try to be fair for everyone and instead are being unfair for everyone.

I say sing you songs strong and proud. Not even the goverment has the right to overrule our First Amendment and withhold our beliefs. I mean, if the president truly had a problem with Christmas, then I certainly think the white house wouldn't be decorated for that specific holiday during the winter, now would it?

[Magnum Innominandum]

I used a blowtorch to liquidate several un-Christian snowmen decorating the department store near my home. I am filled with compassion; but there can be no compassion for the flaunted symbols of sin. Once can still be compassionate -- hate the sin and not the sinner -- but that doesn't mean one has to tolerate heathen jewelry, for example. It is helping these deluded children if you simply walk up to them and tear off their ankhs and what-not. When they grow up and find Jesus, they will understand.

Sincerely,
Magna, née Magnus

I hear ya Momma G. The next time someone says to me "happy Holidays" I'm going to smack them across the face with my super-sized leather-bound KJV1611 Bible and yell at them at the top of my lungs that Christmas is about JESUS and his unconditional love and to celebrate HIS Birthday dammit!

All these mamby pamby PC people should be shot! They are making the world a dreadful, hateful place.

You know, a Catholic priest wrote the lyrics to that, and the church musician wrote the music:

Fr. Joseph Mohr had written a six-stanza poem sometime in 1816, but on Christmas Eve of 1818 he asked the church musician, Franz Gruber, to write a simple guitar melody & accompaniment, because the organ was no longer working. It was first sung by the church that Christmas Eve, and the rest is history...

I guess there IS something Catholic that you can appreciate after all!

If it's true, why are you complaining?

Umm...By "organ" we mean "musical instrument resembling a piano," not "body part?"

Why do you have to pervert everything I say?

If there were no priest sex scandals, people wouldn't say things like that.

How many jokes were there about Bill Clinton and sex? How many jokes are there about George Bush and sex?

Do you see a connection?

Once known as the "Tyrolean folk song", the music to Silent Night was thought for some time as having been penned by Haydn, Mozart or Beethoven. It was not until 1994 that an old manuscript was discovered that authenticated Franz Gruber as the composer. Musician-schoolteacher Franz Gruber lived over a schoolhouse in Arnsdorf Austria, and True Christian™ historical hindsight would certainly cast suspicions on this typical cathylick arrangement.

Fortunately, the Holy Spirit has seen to it that the original "Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!" has been changed from the original Satanic guttural German and several notes from the original composition have been altered.

Praise Jesus!

In society you are call a psycho. Threatening her to tell you her religion is hurting her rights. I am glad you were escorted.

Asking a clerk if they believe in Jesus is about as threatening as asking if the cantaloupes in the produce section are ripe or if Angelena Jolie was abducted by aliens. You owe Sister Christianson an apology.

You DO know that smacking people with a Bible, isn't very nice, eh? So if somebody said 'Happy Holidays' some couple of weeks ago, you would have smacked them in the face?

You DO know that posing ridiculous questions to our godly sister, without even the courtesy to introduce yourself in the appropriate forum, isn't very nice?

[Son Geofriedus]

Well, where should I do that?
