Yes, There is a War on Christmas
November 24, 2018 / John Pavlovitz
Yes, there is a war on Christmas in America.
The Evangelicals were right.
The pulpit-pounding preachers were right.
Franklin Graham was right.
The Republicans were right.
Donald Trump was right.
Fox News was right.
The Religious Right was right.
Every single one of them was speaking gospel truth.
The only thing they neglected to tell me in their bombastic, sanctimonious, sky-is-falling sermonizingwas the source of the offensive.
The brutal yuletide assaults haven’t come from Atheists or Agnostics, not from Humanists or Muslims, not from coffee franchises or the Liberal Media or Progressive Christians.
The very white Conservatives who’ve been loudly sounding the alarm, are the incessantly advancing hordes
They’re the only ones warring with Christmas, because they’ve forgotten their own story.
Christmas, is a child of Palestinian Jewish parents desperately fleeing politically ordered genocide.
Christmas is a dark-skinned refugee, born amid the smell of damp straw and animal dung, because no human-worthy welcome could be found.
Christmas is a poor, itinerant, street preaching rabbi, living off the generosity of those around him.
Christmas is a compassionate caregiver, feeding and clothing and healing whoever crossed his path.
Christmas is a liberal activist fighting for the poor, condemning violence, shunning material wealth, and calling the world to live sacrificially for the common good.
yep
The easy measure is in deeds done rather than words said.
