Christmas isn't a Christian Holiday

Letter to the Editor

I find it somewhat amusing to see Christians making a huge deal about saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays" because Christmas isn't a Christian holiday in the first place. There is nothing at all in the Bible that relates to anything in the Christmas holiday. Christmas was started by Roman Pagans as Saturnalia in honor of the god Saturn. It was celebrated with a week of lawlessness with widespread intoxication, rape, and other sexual rituals. Christmas Caroling started with the tradition of naked singing in the streets and on the last day culminated in human sacrifice. In the 4th century Christians imported Saturnalia hoping to convert pagans who continued to celebrate it in the traditional way.

Christmas is at best a stolen pagan holiday. I'm surprised that Christians even still celebrate it considering its origin and history. I just hope they don't bring back human sacrifice.

Here's the Real Story behind Christmas.

Patriot Act Treatens Religious Freedom

Letter to the Editor

The Patriot Act threatens religious freedom and the American way of life. I don't know why Americans who have fought and died for freedom and liberty have to waste their sacrifice as Congress legislates away the freedoms and principles that this country was founded upon. Under the patriot the government can send spies into your church and issue secret warrants to track people who oppose government policy. We didn't elect these people to vote in communism so please let your congressman know that voting away our freedom and liberty is wrong.
