Chrisians with priorities extremely out of whack

So a lot of super-Christians are upset because the annual White House card doesn't say "Merry Christmas," but instead wish a happy "holiday season." According to the president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, "This clearly demonstrates that the Bush administration has suffered a loss of will and that they have capitulated to the worst elements in our culture."

Wow. I need some help sorting this out. It's okay for Bush to lie, cheat, poison our children, increase the death count of African women and children, abandon people to drown, and have innocent citizens arrested, but it's not okay for him to send a card that doesn't say "Merry Christmas."

I must have missed something in the New Testament. Let's see, there's "Blessed are the merciful," and Bush has killed and maimed who knows how many Iraqi citizens and blown up their houses and businesses. His AIDS policies have made it possible for thousands more women and babies to die because they can get neither counseling nor birth control. While he was stuffing birthday cake in his mouth, people and animals were dying in New Orleans. There's "Blessed are the peacemakers," and Bush has declared war on a country that was not bothering us. Then there's "Love your enemies," and he hasn't done too well with that one, starting with John McCain. And how about "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth?" His tax policies have made the wealthiest people in America much wealthier, at the expense of the rest of us, and his war has made a bundle of profit for his family's pet companies.

The super-Christians don't seem to be bothered by any of that.

The idiocy of it all is indeed making me nuts.

I'm an atheist and I don't mind saying Merry Christmas. Why would anyone? Christmas is a legitimate holiday - whatever.

And why are Christians so paranoid? THEY HAVE ALL THE POWER. They are the majority. I ought to be complaining, really.

"War on Christmas" indeed. The nerve of those creeps, making up a false war to distract from the very real one. Another sick propaganda ploy from the rightwing whackjobs.
