The Rapture Ready board, inspired by Glenn Beck, is hopping mad at the HOLIDAY DISPLAY TASK FORCE

Because next to the 'rapture' itself, there's evidently nothing else pressing over which to be concerned:

If you had 2007 in the 'which year will a Holiday Display Task Force be created' pool, you are a winner! A Colorado town has done just that, because Allah-universe-generic-deity-God knows putting up nativity scenes is a touchy subject these days. This quote regarding a particular display says it all about just how insanely politically correct we have become: "What the task force tried to accomplish was to craft holiday displays to celebrate our commonality and also to recognize the diversity of winter holidays celebrated by members of the community and to create a festive atmosphere during the winter season," (Seth Anthony). Wow, if that doesn't get you into the spirit of the season, not sure what will. Organizations like the ACLU that give volume to the fake outrage over nativity scenes etc. are most responsible for the heightened PC state we are in. So, you shouldn't be surprised when Glenn (Beck) told you that their founder is a communist.

It doesn't surprise me one bit...knowing that the founder of the ACLU is a Communist. But Jesus is the TRUE founder of why we celebrate CHRISTmas. To us, He IS the reason for THE season. And that's why I'm not afraid to remind people of that. That's why I AM sick to death of this so-called 'political correctness' crap--PERIOD!!!


Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday, Dear Jesus
Happy Birthday to you...

~~~

Happy Birthday, Jesus
I'm so glad it's Christmas
All the tinsel and lights
And the presents are nice
But the real gift is you

Happy Birthday, Jesus
I'm so glad it's Christmas
All the carols and bells
Make the holidays swell
But the real gift is you

(Repeat above two verses)

Happy Birthday, Jesus
Jesus, I love you...

(Spoken softly at the end of song, with eyes looking heavenwards)

I love you, Jesus

The answer is CAROLERS.

The believers in Fort Collins need to mobilize a "task force" of the largest chior of Christmas carolers the world has ever seen.

They could take advantage of the media interest and have "Oh Holy Night" broadcast all over the world from the city streets.

How awesome would that be??!!!

=====

totally with the idea!!!

=====

Chrismas is not the same without the Carolers... I've not seen carolers out singing in over 20 years. Most the songs were all about Christ!!! I wonder why it stopped!!!

Why don't the churches get back to the basics and bring back the carolers... I love the "Little Drummer Boy" (know that was not biblical) but it gives the meaning of what Christmas is all about.... you give gifts to the KING. Amen!!

We used to sing carols, but we did it because we needed money for weed... (true story - :blush:)

like it was 1957 or something.

but they gave us cookies and milk all the same..it was about the community and the holiday and not about 'religion'

And those damned Godless(TM) Puritians, banning Jesus' BDay!

Ignorant fools!

And if that doesn't work to inspire the non-believers, they'll Shock & Awe™ them.

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. (A fundie gave him one for Xmas.)

I mean, everything in their homes is most likely from communist China! Conservatives want "Red Fridays" for God's sake. :rofl:

someone should put up a sign ... Christians only need shop here ...

So their task is to replace the evul Political Correctness with...Christofascist Correctness?

Ms Uly has family in middle GA with whom I've sat at Christmas while they sang Happy Birthday to Jesus. Yes, there was a cake with candles. No, there weren't upwards of 2,000 of them. Yes, I'm writing that scene into a novel some day. ;-)

Now that's a visual. :)
