So says the guy who quoted World Net Daily, which is owned by pinheads.

Give those black boys white rule and they won't be hungry. What's the point of the picture?
Try to keep your racism to yourself Jabin.
Granted, if the countries where those children live weren't ruled by Marxists, they probably wouldn't be starving.
The point of my picture?
Greedy-ungrateful Americans embarrass me.
Jesus is the reason for the season.

So what, i dont care what they put up as long as they stop complaining about what we put up, otherwise they are hypocrites.
I give to my local church and charities who honor the Lord. I used to support Campus Crusade for Christ until they removed the name Christ. Then, I stopped. Giving should be done in the name of Jesus.

If it wasn't for Hanukkah there may very well not be Christmas. Depending on how things played out, Jesus might not have been born at all, or culturally he would have been Greek rather than Jewish.
At the time, the Jews were living under the Seleucid Empire, which was a remnant of Alexander the Great's empire. Some members of the younger generation were adopting Hellenistic ways, which the Jewish elders were getting their knickers in a knot over. The Jewish leaders ended up causing enough trouble that Antiochus IV began to see Judaism as a threat and decided to BAN it within his empire. The result was the Maccabean revolt, which is celebrated during Hanukkah.
Christmas itself basically has its origins in pagan winter festivals (the Roman festival of Saturnalia comes to mind). Jesus himself was actually born sometime during the spring.

Since the birth of our savior was God's plan since the beginning, that means your statement is.... ...oh, how should I say it... ...STUPID
One could certainly argue that is a war of a different sort.
so the whole free will/Adam and Eve/death and sin was planned by your god from the start???
No, it wasn't "planned", but God still knew the choices they would make.
Its a sort of paradox of "free will" that we have it, and yet God still knows how things will unfold. He know the choices we will make even though they are our choices to make. Thats because we move through time in a linear fashion, whereas God is ouitside of time and sees all things at once.
I've seen this argument before, sorry, it makes no sense. If your god knew how things would turn out, but he let them, he is not a very nice person. Slavery, WWI, WWII, Hitler, Stalin, etc.
But I guess it keeps the Catholic confessionals open, huh?
Jesus can fix that (Eze 36:26).
Atheists Claim Cross Memorial Gives Them Headaches, Causes Emotional Pain
So you would have Him take away our free will and turn us into puppets? I prefer free will over that.
I'm not against churches.
I agree. Everyone should put up whatever they like and ignore that that offends them.
