The War On Christmas Returns
Via Film Chat I came across Operation Merry Christmas. I was going to make fun of them, but it really seems like they do a better job of making themselves look ridiculous on their own. It's kind of like comedian Lewis Black says in his HBO special, Red, White, and Screwed. Comedians today don't need to write jokes anymore. They just need to sit onstage and read the newspaper to the audience.  |

post a commentOh, for crap's sake. *rolls eyes*
here are suggestions for alternate post titles:
just say "my holiday is better than yours"
just say "merry fuck you"
offedning Chirst by not saying "merry Christmas"? what about their pride?
The best phrase in there is "the enemies of Christmas." Tis the season for sweet, sweet hyperbole.
i don't understand it? how man errors can we point out in this one sentence?
"We have reached an all time low point in our nation's history when human sensibilities are elevated above offending Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."
i'm not sure what they mean by this, but i very much doubt it.
I like The Pete's™ second suggestion for an alternative greeting. ;)
To go with leighton's comment, a couple of years or so ago, I read a commentary from Sojourners' then-weekly email digest written by the founder's wife, Joy Carroll-Wallis, entitled "Putting Herod Back into Christmas", suggesting that the holiday itself has become so sanitized that Christians--and even the world at large, to a degree--have forgotten about the harsh conditions that Christ was born in, and that Herod perceived him as a (eventual) threat to his kingdom. You can go to their website and look it up if you like. :)
