Nonbelievers, Please Leave Christmas Alone by Zubebe(m): 4:54pm On Dec 20, 2009 |
Garrison Keillor wrote an article in the Baltimore Sun with the above title. This is an exerpt: If you don't believe Jesus was God, OK, go write your own damn "Silent Night" and leave ours alone. This is spiritual piracy and cultural elitism, and we Christians have stood for it long enough. And all those lousy holiday songs by Jewish guys that trash up the malls every year, Rudolph and the chestnuts and the rest of that dreck. Did one of our guys write "Grab your loafers, come along if you wanna, and we'll blow that shofar for Rosh Hashanah"? No, we didn't. Read the article here: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bal-op.keillor16dec16,0,225627.story And here is a reply from one American Jew: In light of Mr. Keillor's complaint about "spiritual piracy", I'd like to propose a deal: the Jews will stop writing beloved American Christmas standards in exchange for the wholesale return of the Hebrew Bible by all Christendom, with apologies for the age old hack job editorship performed on it in order to cover up the fact that they have been worshipping a martyred rabbi as diety. In addition, we will be happy to stop "messing with (their) Messiah" just as soon as they stop ubiquitously force-feeding us their co-opted pagan holiday in every public space in the country for 6 weeks out of every year only to turn around and blame us for their own lack of enjoyment of such overexposure followed by accusing us of carrying out this conspiracy of wintertime secularization for profit. Oh, but don't be offended Christians, can't you hear my tone of wistful irony? formerfan (12/20/2009, 4:52 AM ) Say what |
