Hagee: People Who Don't Like Hearing 'Merry Christmas' Should Leave The Country

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Thursday, 12/26/2013 11:01 am

On Sunday, John Hagee delivered a sermon to his congregation during which he raged against the supposed "War on Christmas" which he began by declaring that America was founded as, and still remains, a Christian nation. As such, if atheists and humanists don't like being wished a "Merry Christmas" ... well, they can just get out of the country. Telling atheists to get out of America is one of Hagee's favorite pieces of advice, so it was no surprise to hear him declare it again during his Sunday sermon when he told any atheists listening that "if you pass a manger scene and someone is singing 'Joy To The World,' you can take your Walkman and stuff it into your ears, or you can call your lawyer, or you can just exercise your right to leave the country; planes are leaving every hour on the hour, get on one":

8. Nothing reflects the Spirit of the Season

like telling people that they don't belong. Not even in their own country. That's the true message of Jesus Christ, right there.

9. Pilgrims from the Mayflower declared the first War on Christmas in America

Perhaps they should have just turned their boat around.

Christmas celebrations from the 1620's to the 1850's were culturally and legally suppressed and thus, virtually non-existent. The Puritan community found no Scriptural justification for celebrating Christmas, and associated such celebrations with paganism and idolatry.

10. Somehow "Merry Christmas, now get the fuck out" seems to defeat the message of Christmas.

What an asshole.

11. Where are these atheists and humanists who don't like being wished a merry Christmas?

I just smile and say, "You too."

Am I missing something or did Pastor Johnny get himself a straw man for Christmas?

12. Freedom of religion is also freedom FROM religion.

He can dogmatize to his sheepies all he wants AFAIC but the line is drawn
where he expects everyone within the sound of his voice to obey his words.
This clown is just too full of himself.
