It is pot stirring in that I know that most of you dont even know your own religious histories and tend to dismiss the holidays and beliefs of other religious. anything on this site can become pot stirring. It is so nice that MY beliefs are considered pointless and are dismissed. Even if they are based on HISTORICAL FACT.
But my beliefs are based on faith. Faith doesn't require proof. It requires something much greater than proof. It's easy to say you believe that today is Sunday or you believe that tomatoes are red. They're simple facts. But to truly be a person of faith requires much more. It's not ignoring facts, it's believing in something greater despite them. To dismiss the value of faith is wrong and it's been done too many times.
Dismissing the fact that many of us on this board realize that Christmas, not the generic holiday season that has taken over due to political correctness got haywire, but Christmas itself is first and foremost about the birth of Christ. Yes, even we get caught up in all the other activities that surround this Christmas season, but sometimes it is nice for us to remind each other the true meaning of this Christmas season. That, I believe, was the meaning of the cartoon and that was the meaning of the original post of this thread. The fact that it has been turned into a debate is typical of some posters on this board. But just because it's expected does not mean it will be ignored.
