As the holiday season approaches I am remembering the debate last year about “the war on Christmas.” There were protests denouncing local stores and citizens who chose to show respect to people of other religions by using the phrase “Happy Holidays.”
So this year I have some advise: If you believe so strongly that your religion is the correct one (as people of all religions tend to do) you can best serve and promote it by fighting for the principles that your religion promotes.
I believe that some of the greatest enemies of Christianity call themselves Christians. Christianity isn’t a slogan and it doesn’t need official promotion or the use of coercion to prosper. The real war on Christmas comes from those who ignore the values of Jesus in order to promote the veneer of nominal Christianity.

And to the people who say that somebody who did evil things was "not a True Christian", ferinstance Adolph Hitler, please find a site that explains logic. Look up the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.
That's the fallacy some people are using to cover up bad behavior. :banghead:
