Liberal war on Christians and Christmas

[Anti-Party]

AUGUSTA, Ga. (CBS Atlanta) – An Augusta hospital has adopted a new policy banning Christmas carolers from singing religious songs in public patient areas.

The Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center announced the new policy Monday according to the Athens-Banner Herald.

still going strong...snipping away....its a war of attrition and they never give up.


“Military service veterans, male and female, represent people of all faiths,” hospital spokesman Brian Rothwell said in a statement according to Athens-Banner Herald. “It is out of respect for every faith that The Veterans Administration gives clear guidance on what ‘spiritual care’ is to be given and who is to give it.”



A group of high school students from Augusta’s Alleluia Community School were prevented from singing traditional holiday songs that honor and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ to veterans by the medical center last week.

The school principal, Dan Funsch, told the newspaper that he was disappointed that the Veterans Affairs hospital’s “spiritual care” grants holiday exemption only to secular characters that make up the 12 Days of Christmas.

“This is not a religious proselytizing, evangelistic issue,” Funsch explained, arguing that Christmas songs are broadcast during the holidays on area radio stations and in local retail outlets. “The song Joy to the World is as much a part of the holiday spirit as the Christmas tree.”

You are discussing a bigger picture than this one hospital.

Today America is trying to figure out the difference between pushing our founding religion and the freedom to represent our founding religion.

On this topic I want to say we should be free to knock on a door and sing about Christ. But the opposite would be, do we want people knocking at our door and singing about Allah.

We are free to represent a religion but we are not free to force religion. Is singing Christmas Carols forcing religion in some way shape or form? I think it forces exposure to it, but doesn't force anyone to accept it. But at the same time I think the business has the right to decide.

Biblically, you are wrong once again. God's house has but one standard, His. And His moral Law did not end with Christ. Sexual deviancy is just as much sin today as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Weird. The Bible I read talks about lots of sins and NO ONE doesn't sin. It only talks about 7 deadly ones and "Sexual deviancy" isn't one of them. "Sexual deviancy" is on the list of all the other sins that most of us do every day. Why is this sin worse than your sins? We all sin, but the Bible teaches us NOT TO JUDGE. Let god do that.......

Does it have something to do with the Christmas Holiday season?

Yes, obviously - you are forcing your wicked Mammonist version of Christianity down people's throats, but you'll see to it they don't hear any relevant viewpoints, won't you? You hide your bullying, as so often, behind 'religious' codswallop.

You're an Old Testament Jew, then, who ignores what Jesus said? That is standard for those of your ilk.

I wasn't aware that you were required to participate and I also wasn't aware that Karl Marx had a tie in with Christmas.
Could you explain away my confusion.

mammon |ˈmamən| (also Mammon)
noun
wealth regarded as an evil influence or false object of worship and devotion.

no one can explain away your confusion. your hatred, racism, and corporate brainwashing are far too ingrained in you.

I have no hatred or racism, so it would appear that the basis for your complaint is false.
Now that this is out of the way, could you find the time to return to the previous discussion and respond to my question?

Sorry - did I offend your Nazi censorship? Lucky you can't lynch me over here, nutterman. Go back up Shit Creek and stop wasting the world's time.

Why didn't King David marry Bathsheba? She could have been number nine.

For some reason you keep responding; but has as of yet to explain how Marx has anything to do with Christmas.
I wonder why that is.
Not really.
Because I know you can't explain it; because there never really any connection between the two and it was just something you felt the need to be part of the thread.

Kind of like you missing to declare the gun you smuggled into Mexico.

I kinda thought so.

Looks like your "thinking" has failed you; again.

this supposed "war on Christmas" is predicated on the false belief that Christianity has some sort of natural, pre-ordained dominance and rightful superiority in American public discourse. At my church, there was never any evidence of any war on Christmas whatsoever. We were free to celebrate the birth of Christ unimpeded by anyone. However, we never felt compelled to go down into the local mosque and sing Christmas carols there. Christmas always has had its rightful place in the hearts of those who believe and that place have never diminished.

Amazing leftist hate and ignorance.

Wow....I fail to see the hate and ignorance in this.

keep religion out of taxpayer funded places and keep them IN churches and homes where they belong. I don't need to cram my faith down some poor jewish veteran's throat while he is convalescing in a VA hospital... do YOU?

This is the voice of rational, thoughtful realism speaking here.

Leftists Lie. That's all all you you need to know.

So glad to know that because I have some liberal beliefs I am a liar. Perhaps you would like to call me a Godless sodomite as well sir?

why thank you Chris... you should know that that support for my posts will gain you several virulent enemies here!
