Re: Happy Holidays!
I did google it. Every one of the items returned is based on the same NY Post story -- you know, the paper owned by Rupert Murdoch, the same asshole who owns Faux News. The Post's reputation for accuracy -- forget objectivity -- is even worse than those TV clowns (and is well deserved, as I can attest from personal experience).wesw wrote: but if you google Brooklyn principle bans santa, you have it from yahoo nbc fox AOL..., just about every news outlet in new York and many many others
So yeah, I'll take Snopes's word over Murdoch and the Post any day, every day, all day.
GAH!

Re: Happy Holidays!
Fact is that wesw is more right than wrong in this one. It was reported on more than Fox (and more than whatever else you don't like). Their spin might be a bit hyperbolic but the story is mostly true - not mostly false

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
Re: Happy Holidays!
wes believes it must be true, so the facts be damned. Par for the course.

Re: Happy Holidays!
wesw, learn to carry your own water. You can crap up threads with stupid music videos so learn to link to sources instead of stuttering crap. Now just "quote" this and be done with it

And Fox seems to be the only one to give a detailed report on the retraction and the Education dept. message:

I shall not bother linking all the blog-type articles that may simply be regurgitating the original Fox report

So where are those scriptures proving that they day of worship was changed, debt's don't have to be forgiven, and pork is ok?
You're the anti-christian bigot. You don't even care what your own scripture says. Defending pagan accretions as if they are your own dogma. Might as well worship Thor.
Liar.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
Re: Happy Holidays!
ignorance is bliss, yet you two seem so unhappy, another theory turned on its head this silly season
but I agree about the newspaper thing, I was a newspaper addict for many, many years, but the quality of the stuff was so bad, at the end, that they weregiven up
good grief! (foreshadowing?)

Caught in an illogical, self-contradictory and stupid position this is your reaction.
