John 3:16-17

Peace be with you all!

 

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to all non Christians.....
I am a person that has friends of diverse backgrounds....Christians, Athiests, Jewish, Islamic etc, and I feel each should have the right to celebrate what they want without ridicule. I believe that Christians being targeted is the byproduct of some misguided perception that Christians have had it easy, we are compassionate and conservative and through our teachings have show great restraint as was taught to us by Jesus. That's the price we pay for the ignorance of others. I wish not to change everyone....that is an impossibility. I prefer to lead by example, and if others find that path to be acceptable, then good for them, if they want to chose their own path I'm fine with that too, just don't ridicule me for my beliefs....
Oh, and I'd really like to know how many bashers of Christians have reaped the wonders of Christmas either in their past or today...I know they are out there, and no one ever told them they need to be saved in order to celebrate. Their hypocricy will be their undoing...
