Yes, "Dr. Tim," plenty of time to get your Easter Tree, your house decorated, gifts bought, cards to send, chestnuts to roast, sleigh rides, and some guy coming down a chimney. I think it was the Puritans who outlawed all celebration of Christmas in New England, which might be why there are very few Christians there today. I think even Harvard Univ was established to train young men to be preachers. The setting of the date for Easter is one of the most complex of all the calendar dates, (has something to do with when some Jews celebrate Passover, which has to to with the full moon, so it begins to look like a Muslim holiday in that aspect) though I think it would be nice to celebrate Washington's Birthday on his actual birthday. I think we all know it was Charles Dickens who helped popularize the way Christmas is celebrated today, and when you read his 'Christmas Carol' story, it brings up ghost stories which I never heard of being part of any Christmas tradition. Yet there is such a mix of other countries like Germany, Netherlands, France, etc. adding in to the mix. Of course, the Bottom Line--does anyone get converted by all this celebration? Does anyone find Jesus as Savior in all this? I certainly pray that some will. |

I hate to add anything that would help promote recognition of Christianity Today magazine or website, since its readership is probably less than Motor Trend or Crotchet Today magazines. But...I cannot resist commenting on the truth revealed here, that there is an 'elite class' of evangelicals who some might say are Liberals in Sheep's Clothing, or Liberal Wannabe's. I can even imagine the editor thinking up this editorial at a cocktail party with a bunch of Dems and others suffering from TDS-Trump Derangement Syndrome, and wanting to please them, he thought up this article. In the end, Truth Will Out, and just like the impeachment has improved President Trump's rating in many polls, it will backfire. A previous comment noted that this guy must think of the majority of President Trump's voters as uneducated..yes! That is exactly what makes him feel better--that he can put them down for not being as educated (that is, in university learning, not in real workaday life). |

And do you remember the cholera outbreak in Haiti, shortly after the UN peacekeepers were sent there? It was traced to their own septic systems, contaminating the water wells. So, UN looks bad not only with cholera, and now with this story. By the way, in many countries, fathering children with girls under age is a crime, punishable by time in prison. Do you think any of these guys will be sent to prison? No wonder, in black communities in the US, a common sign (besides the 'cold wine and beer' ones), is 'DNA testing' because women there have so many 'partners' they can't tell who the father is! |

I wonder what the editor of CT thought of Rep Alcee Hastings, a former judge who had been convicted of crimes, being involved in the impeachment procedure. And, do they think that Joe BIden should be impeached for getting the Ukraine authorities to fire a prosecutor who was looking into a business his son was involved in (which son, by the way, has 0 experience in that realm, kinda like hiring your pastor to perform your next colonoscopy, and paying him $50,000 for it!), under threat of holding up US aid. Or do they think Hillary Clinton should be tried for letting Americans die in Libya? No, we know the answer, CT is a leftist magazine. Period. No further discussion needed. Might as well read CNN and NY Times for your info on 'religion today.' |

I think they need to impeach Senator Joe Biden for using his influence when he was vice president to fire a prosecutor in Ukraine that was looking into corruption with his son. Biden is on tape, boasting of his holding up USA $$ that was to go to that country. The Dems are accusing the President (falsely, of course) of doing what they have been doing. Anyone who thinks the D or R after a person's name doesn't mean much can look at the record on this vote to see that yes, it certainly does. Nearly every D voted in favor, the Rs voted against it. Now we know that this is useless, and will hurt the Dems next year, because the Senate, where once again having a D or R after your name matters a great deal, will not pass this. Jim-bob, skip Wills and read real conservatives like John Derbyshire, the Zman blog, and the American Renaissance website. |
