You know what makes me mad? Is that it's not ok to say "Merry Christmas" out in public bc its too offensive for some reason. And it is not ok to say stuff like "God love you" but its ok to say "Budda is awesome", taking God out of society seems like a sign of The Rapture.

When I can wear my pentacle openly, or say "Blessed Solstice to you!" without getting told I'm going to burn in hell, then we can talk about having your religion taken out of society...

The rapture will occur worldwide and everyone on the planet will see it when Christ comes for His people. Taking God out of society has been happening since Biblical times, so why should we think things are different now? The rapture won't occur until the entire world has heard the Gospel. Check out my blog below for some articles about problems in this world and what Christians should do.

You are so right! People have forgotten that our country was founded on religous princples.
We have the lunatic left, the ACLU and the lideral media to thank for taking God out of America
The teaching profession has a lot to do with it too.They are teaching our kids what they want them to know and not always the truth, I am so sick of the idea that all kids must have that warm fuzzy feeling. We are raising up a bunch of spinless whimps, that quite frankly I am glad I won't be around to see them run this country, I love my country and the men and woman that are fighting and many making the supreme sacrifice for these blow hards to be able to say what they want no matter who it hurts, it really sickens me.
Yes my friend I believe we are living in the end times, prophecy is being fulfilled at an unbelievable pace.
Belive me you unbelievers now is no time to take God out of our society, we need Him now more thanever.
Thank you for having the guts to stand up for our God!!

I say merry Christmas when ever I want to and anyone who has a problem with that can just get used to it.
I know that God loves me, and I also think that the Buddha is awesome.
I think that the rapture is a bunch of baloney.
The idea that Jesus is coming to take a bunch of holier than thou arrogant know it All's to heaven is ridicules. Why would he want to take a bunch of people who do almost the exact opposite of what he taught to heaven anyways?
Love and blessings Don

Yep I agree with you. The Scriptures say that in the last days people's hearts will grow cold and many will fall away, sounds like it's happening doesn't it?
Keep on keepin on tho! Say Merry Christmas and honor the Father and the Son, say God loves you and He will bless you. He loves you and He loves it when you praise Him and love Him in public.

Who are you afraid to offend? I say Merry Christmas in public when I want. God does not have to be taken out of society because someone says so. YOU can include him in society.

I will continue to say God Bless You and Merry Christmas as long as I live. No one can take that right from us!

Yes I agree, why can't you say Merry Christmas in America? Why do you have to say happy holidays instead? It's an American country and most americans consist of Christ believers. Just because there's immigrants that are from different countries, we can't used that term. I'm an immigrant myself and I believe it's wrong.

Where do you live? Merry Christmas is perfectly acceptable in pretty much every place in which I've lived in America. I think it's funny how Christians go out of their way to perceive slights towards them. Christmas, however secularlized it has become, is still the dominant holiday in America, and one can't go to any decent-sized town in America without seeing the town decorated up for Christmas. Churches in said towns generally have Nativity scenes set up in front, and have messages of a much less secular intent emblazoned on their signs. Oh, yeah. Christians really really have it bad. What with their constant oppression of gays, and pretty much preventing gay marriage in almost every state.
As for the Rapture, if it'll get rid of the idiots, bring it on.

Christians need to wake up and stand up. While we slept, prayer was taken out of the schools. Moral values are continuously being eroded. If we don't stand for something, we will fall for anything. Change begins with each individual. If each of us will seek God's face and be faithful and wise servants--occupying until our master returns-- we will do well.
Peace

It's close, probably. I doubt it'll be much longer, but there's no way of us knowing for sure WHEN it will happen.
What amazes me is that those who say that talking about Christ is offensive don't see a problem with other religions. The world is so blind.
