The war on Christmas. It’s truly more horrific then the war on drugs or terrorism. [Insert deity here] forbid our [insert holiday here] be taken away from us.

Should Christmas be banned from schools to appease the separation of church and state? Is Christmas even a Christian holiday anymore in our godless, capital-driven society?

Remember when all the overly conservative Christians lost their minds over the Starbucks coffee cup not bending to their will and submitting a Christmas-themed cup? I do, and the war on Christmas is very real my friends, as real as Mr. Claus himself.

It’s nuts. You make up a time when your savior was born, since we don’t actually know when he was born (probably wasn’t December 25); however, that happens to coincide with pagan holidays and rituals common during the Roman Empire; it then morphs into a holiday that’s just an excuse to buy from the market anymore. Nice.

In school, anytime I’ve celebrated the holiday season the closest thing to Christianity I’ve seen is a tree. A pine tree, which like the time period of the  original holiday, was done to congregate the pagans and make them convert . I don’t feel like school really tries to indoctrinate kids to a certain belief on holidays.

However, I do think the pledge feels very hypnotic. The pledge mentions God in reference to our nation being under the Christian god. I can understand this, though, because whenever the pledge was instituted America was probably predominantly Christian.

A little off topic, but oh gees, now I’ve started a war on the Pledge of Allegiance.
