A season of peace on Earth…
and good will toward men.
Hardly.
It would truly be the most wonderful time of the year if there were peace; even if the peace were momentary, but especially if it were lasting.
Christmas in the US is a commercial holiday, filled with greed and consumerism.
The religious zealots who co-opted a pagan holiday have a longer history of violence than peace — so when they try and tell you what the true meaning of Christmas is… ask yourself how many people who don’t share their views must die so that they can have their reich.
In the US we don’t only have freedom to choose our religion; we have the freedom to choose to be free of religion and all the oppression that history shows it brings with it. Make your choice known.
