On 04/27/09, Jeff Snyder quoted Steve Asher: Thought Police in Britain.

SA> I accept that Jesus was not born on or about the 25th December, it is a
SA> holiday to honour His birth, in much the same way that Queen Elizabeth was
SA> not born in June, but we have a "Queen's Birthday" holiday
in June. There
SA> are a number of steps here - one is to trivialise the message of Christ's
SA> birth by replacing it with Father Christmas, presents, sending cards and a
SA> "festive season" which includes Christmas and New Year.
Another is to
SA> eliminate the "reason for the season" in Jesus Christ, and
sell "holiday
SA> trees" and the like. Target in the USA sells these; the Australian Target
SA> continues to sell Christmas trees (regardless of whether the trees are
SA> pagan in origin & nothing to do with Christ's birth - yet another issue).
SA>
SA> Again, Easter, regardless of its origins, has become a time of celebrating
SA> rabbits and eggs, with little public recognition of Jesus' death for our
SA> sins and subsequent resurrection.


Hello again Steve. We are on the same page regarding these issues. I have an
entire section of our website dedicated to these topics. You can visit the
"Pagan Myths And Traditions" articles group at the following URL.
