People of many faiths and none believe that Jesus existed; however, only Christians believe he was divine. As an aside, a number of the founding father were deists, not Christians.

Oh, well THAT makes it so, huh?! Look, CHRIST is
I don't hate Santa. But this business of "thank God for Santa" is utter sacrilege.

I'm tired of hearing how Santa is what keeps everything good and the hope alive. BULL.

Christ. Remember that name. Christ.

All of you who are ga-ga over the commercialization business of Christmas -- that is nauseating, it is sacrilegious and it flies in the face of God.

Pathetic.

True Anon, but Christ is being removed out of everything and that isn't right either.

In my opinion, and as a Christian and Christ follower, you should be
upset that Christmas is termed "offensive" to a lot of people and that so many other religions want to use the birth of our Savior to "take time off work," "exchange gifts," "cook elaborate meals," and the like, YET, they don't want to use the term CHRISTmas when shopping, etc.

If people really wanted to stand by their convictions, I like what my husband has to say: Offer those who don't believe in Christmas the opportunity to go to WORK on those days instead of enjoying the time with their families on that special day since they seems so "offended" by the term Christmas.

Christmas is what it is. As Christians we shouldn't get into heated debate about it, but stand by your convictions that it is wrong to be "inclusive" or say Happy Holidays or Season's Greetings! The bottom line is that this time of year is special and celebrated because of one thing: The Birth of Jesus. Get mad. That's the truth. If other religions want to start their own holiday then make up a reason and go for it. I won't be offended if I go into a mall or store and they begin shouting or saying "Happy To Be An American Day!" Good for them. Just don't ride on the backs of the birth of our Lord and then try to take the CHRIST out of CHRISTmas!

It is the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!!!!!!

Southern Baptists are Christians. Christians are those who believe in Christ. nm
