I recently read where a McDonalds in Raleigh had the phrase “Jesus is the reason for the season” on their sign and a woman was offended by it and demanded that the restaurant take it down. I also just found out another person complained to an airport and made them remove their Christmas tree. To people like this, all I can say is, YOU NEED A LIFE! With all the real problems going on in the world this is the only thing you can think of to fight against? Society is struggling with teen pregnancy, drugs, drunk drivers, abusive spouses, aides, gangs, wars, child abuse, date rape, welfare abuse, cancer and natural disasters and the greatest task you can think of to devote your time and resources on is attacking someone’s faith? What a waste. We are living in a country that is called the melting pot, a country that is made up of all different kinds of nationalities and religions and a country where people should have the freedom to express their nationality or religion as long as that expression doesn’t harm anyone. What harm is that sign doing, or that Christmas tree, or someone saying Merry Christmas? What will you move onto next, having crosses removed from churches because you have to see it as you drive by? Are you going to force the radio stations to stop playing Christmas Carols or selling items with the word Christmas on it?
If you don’t want to devote yourself to one of the greater problems in our world, why not at least come against something that will help this country stay great and because you obviously have a hard time coming up with worth wild causes here are a few suggestions.
1 Create a move to rid the world of people who play that thumpin’ loud music with the vulgar lyrics at the gas stations and stop lights?
2 Rid the world of business answering machines that make us press a dozen numbers before we can speak to a real live person
3 Boycott boys who wear pants that are ten times too big for them without a belt.
Ok now I am starting to whine. The bottom line folks is that there are real problems we can focus on that can make a difference. Find one, devote yourself to it, and stop attacking a faith that has been so instrumental in the development of our great country.

Add a number 4 to the list: Ban cigarette smoking in all restaurants and public buildings and within a mile of any non-smoker!
