I’d say Judeo-Christian holidays.

I would like to know the rational of people that voted for “No, Christian holidays are not under attack.” Even Obama was purposely avoiding previously standard Christian related things like a Christmas tree at the white house and worse was making laws and directives, such as in Obamacare and the military that violated Christian principles.

EVERYTHIHG Christian is under attack, and it seems to get more vicious with each attack. Thank God, we know the end of the story.

My husband’s family celebrates Christiemas. Christie is their surname. They were raised Catholic . I am a Christian. I believe in God and pray daily. I have never wavered in my beliefs. Predictably my husband’s family dislikes me.

Case in point: In San Diego CA, Balboa Park, there is an annual display of a series of Nativity scenes, sponsored by a private group (NOT the City). This year another (private?) group posted large banners declaring that religion is a myth. The “rights” of free speech allows this.

There are a handful of Progressives, the left, who are insisting on changing this nation from a Christian Nation, a Republic to a Socialist/Communist nation. How are they getting away with this internal coup? If the left do not like this country the way that it is, may I suggest that they go to another country that practices their intent!!! I’m sure they would be welcomed in China, Russia, Venezuela, Argentina, the Sudan (E. Africa) and the like….The problem is that the handful of Progressives are the ultra (very) rich and they can buy their way through Congress and the Courts to make any kind of change that they desire with the ultimate goal of ruling the world! ….Who can stop them? Who can stop the weak from taking the bribes? Who cares about the future of this country and the world? Who cares about what they are leaving their children? Come, Lord Jesus, come.

No one is attacking my Christian display I have on the lawn of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. There has been an increase of these displays in my area. No. Christian Holiday is under attack.

I’ve grown to accept the Biblical implications of manmade holidays like Christmas and Easter. The historical origins of pagan holidays dilutes the message of the Messiah and moves us away from the teachings of the Lord.

Just as disturbing is the the lack of a reciprocal response when you say Merry Christmas to a vendor or server. It is also a greeting that I have to initiate 95% of the time.

we are loosing our country. With all the past Democrat presidents and most all liberals against the ten commandments in our court rooms, prayer in public schools and sporting events, and saying the pledge of allegiance to the flag. If they don’t care too that’s fine, I would rather they leave our country. But don’t tell the rest of us that it’s forbidden. That’s why we are coming apart and dividing as a nation. The laws that we have in our country came from the ten commandments. Are they to stupid to know this? If we don’t speak out to our congressmen and senators that we demand to be heard, we will loose our GOD given rights and the U.S.A. If the demo’s take over senate and white we’ve lost all. May we all ask God for forgiveness and heal our country on our knees.

Our country’s holidays are for the whole country. One of them is Christmas, so anyone should be able to say it. For me, Christmas is a holy day, but for others, it’s still OUR US holiday. No one is excluded from Merry Christmas.

Why does the government (particularly liberals) get paid days off over Christmas and New Years? They don’t believe in God. They should be made to work those days. Fair is fair, right?

The USA was founded on CHRISTIAN principles….hence the unceasing barrage of hate from those who do/will not believe.

Yes, of course Christian holidays are attacked more than any other faith. The name of Jesus Christ and all Christians who speak his name are coming under fire because we live by Judeo Christian values and follow Christian principles outlined in the Bible.

Thank you for asking about Christian
Faith being under attack. The Muslim religion, however, has seemingly been protected in our society, with concessions made for prayer times (5)
A day. I am thankful that I can pray wherever I am, at any time, whenever I want, and God listens. I do not have to face a specific direction. God loves me and I know he does because He allowed himself in His divine nature to come down in the flesh of Jesus. Also, He has told us through history, through the witnessing of the prophets in the Holy Bible,.. a Nd is still here today,by God’s divine nature, the Holy Spirit

No other faith has the problems that Christians have. Our two most sacred holidays are Christmas and Easter. Both have been bombarded by other symbols other than what they represent. Christmas, the birth and Easter the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior. Christmas is Santa Claus and Easter is the bunny rabbit. There are other religious holidays just in December, Kwansaa (African), but they have no other figure to distract from there beliefs. Ramadan (Muslims), Hanukkah & Purim (Jewish), Bodhi day (Buddhists). This is just the month of December. Don’t get me wrong, I’m OK with Santa and the Easter bunny, but it’s always been strange that our two most sacred holidays have been overshadow by the sounds of the cash registers ringing. And more and more each year, the reason for the season is being taken down in public places. I simply say,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS

Christians are being prosecuted for their beliefs or crosses in cemeteries or churches. Removal of the cross fir the few complaints. If you don’t line it, don’t look or join. Stop dictating your values that are un Gog like onto others

I didn’t think the holidays are under attack, the retailers make tons off of Christmas, less on Easter as we see the Christmas decorations being put on the shelves before Halloween. You don’t hear any derogatory statements against Christians after Thanksgiving until the new year…..heck it would be shooting their revenue in the foot. I always say Merry Christmas when shopping and I usually receive the same, beating them to the punch. What I do think is under attack is Christianity itself. It’s being censored from public view, brushed aside, subject of lawsuits of discrimination and touted as a religion of hate. Muslims are hallowed and protected by the liberal class but a Christian/Jew can be shot and it’s a ho hum. However a Muslim shot it’s a tragedy and a hate crime, MSM headlines. Unfortunately it will get worse before it will get better as I see Sharia Muslims elected into office. (How are no go zones allowed?) It’s just a matter of time.
Remember this Christmas the best gift is The Gift from above.

I’ve been around for close to three quarters of a century and I’ve watched the decline of morality in America grow steadily worse on, an almost daily basis! It used to be what was right was right and what was wrong was wrong. Not anymore. Now, we have people that steal but we have, “well he didn’t steal too much” type of reactions. So, what happened to what’s wrong is wrong? The same holds true for “Political Correctness” which is just another moral cop out because we’ve gotten too afraid to stand up for what’s right! Now, we’re told that we have to accept persons of the opposite sex sharing restrooms and locker rooms. Then, there’s the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, they have done fine since their inception but, now people say that those “titles” are wrong and we need to drop the boy and girl from their names. How about the doing away with “husband and wife” and replacing same with “spouse”? So, in substance we’ve regressed from being “the land of the free and the home of the brave”, to being “the land of the submissive and the home of the Politically Correct”!

It stands to reason, that it would only be a matter of time before atheists and Muslims would openly attack our Christian Beliefs including our Holidays. So, what do we do? Nothing but whine and complain! Once again, we submit rather than fight for what’s right. Now, our children can no longer pray in school or, at after school functions. That is, unless they are Muslims. Our children can’t even recite the “Pledge of Allegiance” in school. When I was growing up, that was how we started our school days and we never had even one complaint or objection! In those days, Christmas had a totally different meaning than it has to some today. Oh sure, my parents made our Christmas Celebration a magical one but, it meant more than exchanging gifts and pigging out on Mom’s delicious Christmas Dinner and her desserts. In fact, every Holiday was much different than those of today. Why? I think that it all has to do with the decline in morality and our submissiveness! I miss those days and I’m sad that our grandchildren will never understand the true meaning of Christmas because they are raised in a submissive environment…….

You have as much right to freedom of speech as the people who are trying to use that right to take yours away. Do not fear them. Confront them with truth.

Pay attention to the advertising on Television. It is visibly and verbally slanted AGAINST Christian values. Our Christian world is constantly being bombarded, directly and indirectly, by liberal socialist leftists that are smart enough to recognize that the SILENT MAJORITY will remain silent and go quietly into the night. I can only say I’m fortunate I won’t be around to see the end result.

There are 2 kinds of Christians, professing and Bible. Bible Christians DO NOT observe pagan celebrations such as Christmas and Easter. What they DO observe are the occasions given in Lev. 23, i.e. the weekly Sabbath, the Passover, the Days of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles and the Eighth Day, or Last Great Day. Together, they reveal God’s Plan.

Many progressives believe that the Christian faith does not fit with their beliefs and are a threat to many of their beliefs; therefore, they take every opportunity to pick and complain about anything Christian.

Instead of talking about this, we as Christians should boycott any and all establishments that insist on Happy Holidays, instead of Merry Christmas. I want to give a big shut out to Lowes. they sell Christmas trees. Christmas Lights, Christmas inflatables , unlike their main competition who insist on signs in there store advertising Holiday Trees!

I always wish anyone I do business with a MERRY CHRISTMAS! as I am leaving their business. If they don’t like it, that’s just too bad! “They” will not shut me down and attempt to ruin MY holiday!

Schools and local governments are among the worst offenders. Businesses seem to cut both ways…some pro some con. The effort, from many fronts, to suppress Christianity is painfully obvious, and somehow we stand idly by, and watch it happen. Christ has told us that acknowledging Him as Lord and Savior would result in opposition and suffering.

Even churches now say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas! Several Episcopal churches in my area (SF Bay Area) do this, as do supposedly Christian people at those churches. I have politely challenged this practice, with the result that one priest told me never to speak to him again! Our bishop loves to do inter-faith events with Muslims and Jews, but could not find time to confirm my godson. The Episcopal Church is all about gays, transsexuals, mass immigration, Black Lives Matter, and global warming now. Our Lord has practically dropped out of the picture. Even the non-religious side of Christmas has taken a hit. When I was a kid, there was a palpable Christmas spirit in December, compounded of innocence, joy, wonder, and generosity, which found expression in many ways. That spirit has been lost. The local mall had a Santa Claus for kids to meet, but the piped-in music was thumping, incongruous rap, and the female “elf” assisting Santa looked like something from Burning Man. it’s all decline, all the time—diseased turtles all the way down!

They may be under attack but we as Christians can and must stand up against any attack against Christianity. We are not going to give in to Satans workers. Say Merry Christmas. Don’t just lay down and take it.

Christmas has been under attack for many years! It is all about Santa Claus, etc and not what Christmas is really about – the birth of Jesus. Jesus is the reason for the season. But Christmas is being attacked more now than ever before. Christmas carols can’t be sung at school programs, can’t be called a Christmas program, has to be called a winter program. We can’t say “Merry Christmas” because it may offend someone. Well I do, and will say “Merry Christmas”!!
Merry Christmas all!

It is not just the holidays, it is the Christian faith as a whole – but it isn’t so much unique to today . . . it has always been under attack. The problem today is Christians are not supporting their faith like they have in the past – we live the things of the world more than we live our Lord & His Word.

Christian holidays have been under attack since the beginning, when the Catholic Church co-opted the holidays of older religions it was seeking to undermine and replace. Christianity has suffered far more from its own power brokers than from outside forces. Hmmmm…. I wonder if those power brokers were actually Christians at all.

Christians have been under attack for a long time… the so-called “politically correct” greeting “Happy Holidays” (instead of the Christian “Merry Christmas”) is a case in point.

As a Christian, it’s “Merry Christmas” from me. A sweet Jewish lady recently wished me “Happy Hanukkah” in return, which is the essence of freedom OF religion – as opposed to freedom FROM religion – in this country. People have free will; they can choose not to believe in God. But it IS MY right to believe, and not be censored for it.

We live in a very toxic world today and Christianity is especially targeted and I think it started when we had a Muslim sitting in the WH as president. He wanted to take God out of everything and even announced that the US was no longer a Christian nation. We coulnd’t say Merry Christmas like the old days, but instead it was replaced with Happy Holidays. But, thank God for our new president who changed all that and proclaimed that it was appropriate to say Merry Christmas once again! And today, I was surprised and felt very special when I went through my mail and came across a beautiful green envelope with Gold letters in the upper left corner with the words……THE WHITE HOUSE. It was a beautiful Christmas card from President Trump, First Lady Melania and Barron!!!! How wonderful of them to take the time to send out cards to his supporters and to wish us a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!! Wow!!! No president has ever done that to my knowledge! That made my day! I’m sure many others may have also received a card from them, and if that isn’t wonderful, I don’t know what is, but this man truly has a good heart to think of his many supporters by taking the time to let them know how much he cares about us. And in return I think I will send them a card too, to show my utmost appreciation and wish them too, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! They really deserve it! They are constantly under attack from all factions that I think it would be nice for a change for us to send them cards to let them know we love them and will stand with them all the way. Come on America, let’s all show our gratitude to our President and First Lady and Barron too, as I know they will truly appreciate that. I can’t help but feel a certain kind of pride and that I was one of the lucky ones to personally receive a Christmas card from our POTUS. MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!!!
