Yeah, I saw that you guys got back yesterday. It was neat (and a little weird) to follow your updates via Twitter, Facebook and blog. It made me want to go all the more. Thanks for going there and being Jesus to the Haitians.

Men like you are needed on the ground. Dude- do whatever it takes. Find an org and go.

You know that I just got back yesterday… there is a tremendous movement of God on the ground. But we also need to follow through and get help to people before they start to die of starvation, disease, and exposure.

I’ve been encouraging people to give “Experience” gifts. Schedule a day to visit a museum, the zoo, or something else as a group. Give coupons for family movie nights, or buy games for the whole family to play. If you feel the need to spend money then buy seats for everyone at a baseball game, or the theater. Make each gift something that will be remembered far longer than what items someone got.

Pretty sure they could have afforded jets with all the gifts they were slinging around.

Comment on Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas! by Todd Porter

@Carl I am sure that Jesus might respond with a “Merry Christmas” back, but He wouldn’t act like some Christians are and shout at people. I don’t see the big deal in someone who may or may not believe the same as me saying Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas.

Every Christian has the freedom to kindly say Merry Christmas. However, if your employer asks you not to then I believe it is a Christian’s duty to obey those in authority over them. They are not being asked to deny Christ’s deity or to denounce Him. They are only being asked to respect the beliefs of other people while they are on the job.

I will have to check out the AFA list and make sure I go to those stores and share the love of Christ with those businesses and their employees. I believe that is exactly what Jesus would do.

You know that they weren’t there at his birth. They came from afar and didn’t have jets to get them there.

Todd, In 1870 the U.S. government made Thanksgiving and Christmas both federal holidays. Not Hanuka or Kwanzaa but Christmas. Back in the 1800 In the case of Holy Trinity Church vs. United States the supreme court ruled we are a Christian nation. So for anyone to denounce or try to down play our holiday is anti-American. I am not saying they must celebrate it but let the 95% of us who do want to celebrate it do so freely.

The issue at hand is not that Christians are trying to “make” everyone say Merry Christmas but that we are able to say Merry Christmas. A number of businesses are forbidding free Americans from wishing someone a Merry Christmas. A couple of law suits have been brought on by Christians to freely express themselves. I have not heard or read of any conservative organization or person “making” anyone or organization say Merry Christmas. AFA does have a naughty and nice list encouraging Christians to call or stay away is the business enforces a No Merry Christmas clause. The Christian conservatives will not dictate what a company does or says, we will encourage companies to let us have our freedom of speech and not be anti-federal holiday though.

As far as Christ is concerned he absolutely would have said Merry Christmas. He would have done like he did in Scripture and turned the Happy Holiday to the Father. Expressing their is not a happy holiday unless their is a Merry CHRISTmas.

@JesusNeedsNewPR introduced me to Christmas caroling for immature fundamentalists:

O CHRISTmas tree, o CHRISTmas tree, how lovely are thy BRAnches…

Comment on The Health Care Debate by carl

carl — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:18:03 +0000

Jeff is one of tens of thousands if not hundred of thousands in this situation. Almost one million Michiganders have left Michigan because of the terrible policies of the Granhom administration. All leaving with out health care. In 2007 Bush and the Rep tried to push a bill through that Americans could buy insurance from one of the 1700 companies in the U.S. crossing state lines but met up with the consistent road block… Democratic party. This would have enabled Jeff to keep his coverage until his new coverage kicked in. One thing has been consistent though with the Dems, if it is not government ran they will block it. So we either turn into a failed European style health care system or get enough conservatives elected and make REAL changes for the sake of people like Jeff.
