Hitting All Your Right Nerves!
You know that song called, Everything is Beautiful?
I like the song. It’s by the great Ray Stevens.
My problem is that many things are not beautiful:
Of the things, actions, and people, it’s the people who’ve been the most ugly.
Often inside and out.
It’s the time of year when lukewarm, willfully-ignorant christians (lowercase c) start blasting every social media account they have with:
“You can be thankful for the birth of Jesus EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR *except* December 25th because 1,500 years ago THAT was a pagan holiday!!!”
First of all, nobody on earth would know it was a pagan holiday if you didn’t keep preaching it every Christmas.
Second, it’s wonderful to take a date or event meant for evil and turn it into something good. God often does that throughout His Book. I bet you hate it when He does this.
Taking what was meant for evil and using it for good takes the emphasis completely off the original use. That is, until you come along and teach people it’s somehow still a pagan holiday.
Third, no actual Christian necessarily believes or cares that He wasn’t born on December 25th. We’re not celebrating the date, we’re celebrating the event.
Fourth, your rants harm the witness of true Christians.
But… You. Just. Don’t. Care.
