Editor,
Many people have recently decried the removal of Christ from this year's
Christmas Season. The politically correct "happy holidays" slogan has
attempted to make us all forget that Jesus is the reason for this holiday
season. We celebrate the birth of the Savior of the world every year on
December 25. Christmas is a national holiday declared so by Congress.
A perfect example of the attempt to remove Christ from this Christmas season
is the full color advertisement recently included with my Arizona Daily Sun
newspaper. Rather than primarily advertise the sale of Holy Bibles or non
fiction books about Christ or Christians or advertise music like Handel's
"Messiah" or even "Silent Night", this retailer instead chose to market DVDs,
CDs and books with titles like, "The Girl Next Door:unrated version", "Sexual
Intelligence", "Wizardology", and music from Motley Crue, Judas Priest, Harry
Potter, and Shakira's "Oral Fixation"! One holiday CD was actually titled "The
darkness: one way to hell and back"! What blasphemy.
The Bible says that God will not be mocked but this generation has no fear of
the Lord. Woe unto them for they will reap what they sow.
