But wait, there’s more from Al. Does he ACTUALLY think that the inclusion or exclusion of the word “Christ” from public displays is removing the “proclamation of truth”? HOw about the representation of Christ as a cheerleader for the nationalistic triumphalism of a neo-conservative coup that has led millions astray? The “Truth” represented there is divorced from the alternate reality Christ proclaimed.

The logic is clear–Christmas has become a threat to those Americans who now claim a right never to be confronted with Christian truth, never to see Christian symbolism, and never to have to hear “Merry Christmas.”
Who knew that–in America of all places–singing Christmas carols and wishing strangers “Merry Christmas” could become a form of civil disobedience? This Christmas, Christians should determine to be cultural subversives, spreading “Merry Christmas” and Christmas blessings, even to those who expect the political correctness police to show up at any minute. We cannot take this sitting down. When candy canes are ruled out of bounds in Plano, Texas, we are obviously in big trouble.

Yeah, Al, lett’s take that message down to Iraq while you’re at it. “Christmas blessings” in the form of bombs and fire and tens of thousands of civilians DEAD, but “God bless you, and God’s peace be upon you in the most blessed of seasons”. I can receive NO theological insights other than what NOT to accept coming from this direction.

Now, it is time to leave this distrurbig matter of the failures of the American Church at Christmas, and seek some recognition , understanding, and hope for the experience of Christmas via a waiting upon God for the confirmation of the peace of Emmanuel.
