Truth Lives Here
“The Word ‘CHRIST’ is in Christmas!”
The controversial group ‘American Atheists’ is at it again – this time taking over Times Square with their latest holiday message: Christmas is better without Christ. Yes, that’s right: The activist group known for posting its controversial messages on billboards across the nation, believes the “true meaning” of Christmas involves charity, family, friends, and food… but not Christ.

“There’s a story now on TheBlaze about the campaign that’s happening here [in NYC that] says: ‘Who needs Christ during Christmas? Nobody.’ I don’t even understand. The word ‘Christ’ is in Christmas,” Glenn said exasperatedly on radio this morning. “You don’t want to celebrate Christmas – that’s your right. You don’t have to celebrate Christmas… But to do a campaign like this and to come out and pee all over somebody is not necessary. It’s just not necessary. It speaks volumes of what you are. You’re not somebody that can coexist with others.”

Linkster Note: The True Meaning of XMAS (Happy Holidays)
“This season is a great time of year for a hundred reasons — none of them having to do with religion,” American Atheists President David Silverman said in a press release. “This year, start a new tradition: Don’t go to church. You hate it, it’s boring; you probably only go because you feel guilty or obligated. Instead, spend more time with your family and friends — or volunteer. There are better uses of your time and money.”
“We all love this time of year. Christianity has been trying to claim ownership of the season for hundreds of years,” Silverman added. “But the winter solstice came first and so did its traditions. The season belongs to everybody.”
Glenn has long expressed his support of atheism in so far as he advocates the right for people to believe and practice whatever they would like. But this particular group crosses the line:
“What is a Christian? Someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. That’s what a Christian is,” Glenn concluded. “So maybe some Christians and some atheists have a distorted look at religion. Religion makes us better. And when religion stops making us better, it’s not pure religion. It doesn’t come from God. Faith, hope, and charity. Fear, unrighteous dominion, hatred, that doesn’t come from God. That comes from another source. And if you don’t believe in Satan, it’s easy to tell you that other source is man.” » Full Article With Comments

Linkster Note: The True Meaning of XMAS (
The Etymology of the Word “Xmas”
X=First letter of the Greek word “Χριστός” (Christos, Gr./Christ, En.)
Mas=Latin-derived Old English word meaning “Mass”
Xmas is a common abbreviation of the word Christmas. It is sometimes pronounced /ˈɛksməs/, but it, and variants such as Xtemass, originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation /ˈkrɪsməs/. The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for Mass, while the “X” comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός which comes into English as "Christ".
There is a common misconception that the word Xmas stems from a secular attempt to remove the religious tradition from Christmas by taking the “Christ” out of “Christmas,” but its use dates back to the 16th century. » Full Article

Glenn has long expressed his support of atheism in so far as he advocates the right for people to believe and practice whatever they would like. But this particular group crosses the line:
This is where I have problems with atheists. Look, you have every right to not celebrate Christmas, not to believe in God, and I support you. I absolutely support you. I’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with you in saying I don’t have to have a god. That’s good. That’s fine. I disagree with you, but that’s my business. That’s what my conscience tells me. That’s what I believe. What you believe is your business. And as long as you are neither picking my pocket, nor breaking my leg, I have no problem with that.Ultimately, this group has a right to express their opinions – however ignorant – but Glenn could not help but offer a quick lesson in what Christianity really is.
[But] you’re saying that religion is a negative force in the world. I’m sorry. Ask yourself if that indeed is true. Has the world had its issues with religious people? You bet… It’s played a very dark role, but so has everything. How about the atheists: Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot? How about those guys… I’m not blaming their lack of God on their murderous regime.
[…]
When people try to tear others down, it’s because they’re afraid. There’s one thing about speaking the truth. But when others just, quite honestly, put billboards up like that, I wouldn’t put that up about atheists. It’s the holiest holiday of the year for Christians. Why do you do that? Do you think you’re going to attract any Christians? Do you think anybody who believes in God is going to listen to your message? No. All you’re doing is putting a wedge between you and Christians.

I used to be an avid atheist before converting to Christianity. I never felt the need to propagate atheism as it is not a religion-- it is a lack of belief in one.
Atheism like gay marriage is another tool being used to destroy the country. They really aren't interested in just being left alone and having the right to be atheist--they wish to shove a belief of nothing down the throat of the traditional American. Because they are in the camp that wishes to erode the traditional America. Atheists attempting to take "Merry Christmas" out of our vocabulary is an example. Frankly if the atheist is offended by "Merry Christmas" then he can just be offended. I never was when I was an atheist--then again I was still a Patriot so my end goal wasn't to attack Christianity or the values of this country.
Atheism is of course the tool of the Marxist--and that's the real end goal. To make the rest of us lock step in robotic march in speak and thought. To douse God out altogether and replace with a total loyalty to The State. What do I have to back this? Only history of Marxist takeover in every nation it propagated itself.
