In a commentary on CNN.com today Roland S. Martin carries on the myths that there is a, ‘war on Christmas’, and that Jesus is the, ‘reason for the season’. If only the religious paid attention to facts once in a while they wouldn’t make such damn fools of themselves so often. Roland shows us in this and many of his other commentaries how well religion divides people while purporting to do the opposite.
Roland looks like a black man to me, maybe he should find out why most African Americans are Christians, and how it came to be that they lost their motherland religions. Here’s a hint for Roland; the evil white man whipped it into your African slave ancestors. You should be working at FOX ‘news’, not CNN Roland.
In today’s commentary he states:
"This whole push to remove Christ from the Christmas season has gotten so
ridiculous that it's pathetic."
And:
"Because of all the politically correct idiots, we are being encouraged to stop saying "Merry Christmas" for the more palatable "Happy Holidays.""
Some thoughtful comments to his idiotic rantings were:
Rand - He says -- "In fact, Americans are so ignorant of other faiths" -- and he's an award-winning journalist? Americans ARE other faiths. We aren't all Christian. Get with the program.
Charles Cates - "whole push to remove Christ from the Christmas season"
"backlash against Christianity"
I'm confused; are you talking about the United States? Where anyone running for public office talks more about their religious beliefs than any other subject? Where televangelists are courted by politicians and the media? Where polls indicate almost 75% belief in Jesus as Christ the Savior and 25% believe he's coming back this year? I thought you just started working at CNN. Don't expect Fox News to hire you away immediately.
Aaron - I'd suggest that Mr. Martin needs to study up on his history before he opens his ignorant mouth on the subject again.
1.The X symbol is an ancient Christian abbreviation for Christ.
2. Saturnalia and Dies Natalis Solis Invicti were both celebrated on December 25th before the supposed birth of his so-called savior.
3. The Christmas tree? The Yule log? Pagan symbols.
He needs to quit complaining about non-existent attacks on his usurped pagan holiday, and worry about keeping his own well-furnished, tax-exempt, house clean.
And here are some idiotic comments to his idiotic rantings:
Mike - Last year Wal*Mart tried to be politically correct in saying Happy Holidays. This year, they realized that Jesus is the reason for the season, sorry for the cliche. This is what true and proud Christians should do! Wal*Mart rules. Politically correct people drool!
Susan - Thank you,thank you, thank you.... Mr. Martin is right on target. Oh ....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
Orlando - Whether we want to admit it or not, this nation was founded on the principles of Christanity. I would classify us as a Christian nation which encourages freedom of all religions. However, make no mistake about it our founding fathers were very Christian in there beliefs and it was reflected in the way the Constitution was drafted. We have been blessed as a nation and it is evident by how far we have come in just 200 some odd years. However, we are flirting with fire by eliminating Christ from public discussion. Its CHRISTmas, its the celebration of the birth of Christ and as Mr. Martin stated he is the reason for the season.
Holy crap! I am very agitated!
