    So the war on Christmas is odd on a theological and economic level. The secular (pagan?) Side is driven by corporations not the woke left. A fact often ignored by the evangelical right.

    So what solution do they even want? A commercial with Jesus on the cross saying he thirts and having a Roman soldier pass him a chilled and refreshing coca cola?

    Maybe a nativity where one of the wisemen is like and we got something for Joseph too and hand him a power saw?

    Wtf

      It started because Starbucks had a disposable cup without the words Christmas on it. It was a generic Holiday cup they used through Nov-early Jan. Suddenly we are under attack! Very stupid.

        I think the anger over saying ‘happy holidays’ instead of ‘merry christmas’ predated that, because christians have found a way to get outraged over everything for a looong time. I was pretty happy just this week that dobson died, because focus on the family underpinned a lot of those sentiments that passed through the american christian sects.
