M. T. Cross Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Frankly, I wonder where the pagans got the idea, as anything good only comes from God...and this time of year is good...anyways, I'll let Billy's little dissertation persuade you Oh Come Let Us Adore Him ... The gods of field and forest and star and sun and Roman Empire were shown to be no gods. And the day of praise which they had usurped was given back to God. The day of celebrations for the sun's return was made a day of celebration for the coming of the Sun of Righteousness, the babe in the manger. We even know that paganism is arising again, that Christ is being outlawed from public schools and government property while neo-pagan and Gaia (earth) rituals are encouraged. Solstice is once more being celebrated by some. So let's be against pagan elements that have clung to (or grown upon) the holy day called Christmas. Our present day pagans (and their true leader) would like to take credit for much more than history actually records. Let us not glorify them. Paganism never quite lives up to its own self-portrait. Ya know when I read comments like this I am never sure how to react. Either with great sorrow at the bigotry held in them, laugh at the half baked information, or take a sledge hammer and start smashing my monitor to little pieces. I think I will go with a combo of the first two as my monitor did not do anything to deserve that. Quote

I'd agree with that! Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

I know, I know...you're not the "kiss 'n tell" type..... ...happily married for 18 years...(well, not always sweetness and light - the usual ups & downs that all couples hav - but we're still together. And it's always nice to kiss & make up after a disagreement!) And that's all I'm going to say about "beneath the nose." I'm trying to put smilies in, but my computer is having technical difficulties.
