Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Abortion
Planned Parenthood is selling abortion promoting Christmas cards. No doubt they would have advised aborting the baby Jesus: after all, his mother was obviously 
mentally unstable – she thought she was a Virgin.
From here:
Quick quiz. Tell us what comes to mind when someone says Christmas: The Christ child and the Virgin Mary maybe? Santa and his reindeer? Abortion? If you nodded at all three, you must be one of the whacked out Americans who will be buying their holiday cards from Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania this year, the one place you can find “Choice on Earth” cards for sale for the holiday season.

The Anglican Church of Canada’s Christmas evangelism
This whole article is worth reading if only to reinforce the suspicion that when the ACoC uses the word “evangelism”, what it means has absolutely nothing to do with saving people from hell through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Instead, it is about market share: how do you entice more people into the church building.
Several years ago, Globe and Mail columnist Margaret Wente wrote about how much she enjoyed attending Christmas Eve worship. She was raised an Anglican.
She also said she didn’t believe a word of what was said.
What struck me was not that she didn’t believe the Christmas story, but that she still attended church on Christmas Eve. In fact, she even received communion.
As you can see, Margaret Wente doesn’t believe a word of what was said – just like many Anglican priests.

A murderous White House Christmas
The White House Christmas tree has a Christmas ornament with a picture of Mao Zedong on it. I’m not sure exactly what it takes to rate a mugshot on the White House Christmas Tree, but Mao earned it by murdering around 50 million of his own people; next year, for a more inclusive Christmas, there will also be Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot Christmas ornaments.

Scott Brison’s Christmas card
Has caused a bit of a fuss:
OTTAWA — It has all the hallmarks of a politician’s glossy Christmas card.
Pastoral setting? Check.
Doe-eyed golden retriever? Check.
Handsome couple dressed in smart casual? Check.
Same-sex couple?
That was too much for “a handful of bigots” who objected to Scott Brison’s holiday greeting card depicting him and spouse Maxime St. Pierre, according to the Nova Scotia Liberal MP.
Brison insists there was no political message behind the holiday greeting. “I’m not the first politician to have a family picture on a Christmas card. . . . I’m looking forward to the day when this is seen as no big deal.”
I can’t help thinking that Brison is being rather disingenuous when he insists there was no political message in the greeting. His saying, “I’m looking forward to the day when this is seen as no big deal” is a political message – one which declares that same-sex marriages should be accepted as equivalent to heterosexual marriage. I am quite sure he received bigoted responses – something that could scarcely have surprised him – but it is possible to disagree with his advertising of a lifestyle which, up until recently would have been regarded as perverted, without being a bigot.
And, considering Christians do not accept same-sex partnerships as true marriage, to use a Christian festival to deliver this political message was an act of considerable crassness.

Wishing you a Happy Christmas is now an insult
And could possible be obscene. That means I will be doing a lot more of it this Christmas.
Wishing people a Happy Christmas could be seen as an “insult” or even an “obscenity” as not everyone is in a position to celebrate, a bishop has warned.
The Right Reverend Humphrey Southern, the Bishop of Repton, said it was a “hollow” greeting to make to those who were suffering.
People should not “simply make a cocoon of happiness for ourselves and our loved ones” at Christmas, he said.
Writing in the monthly Derby diocese newsletter, he said: “This is the ‘Happy Christmas’ month. Yet to many that greeting will be hollow, coming as an insult, or even an obscenity.”
Trust an Anglican clergyman to come up with such an innovative idea: let’s make everyone feel miserable at Christmas.It appears to have eluded the Right Daft Reverend Humphrey Southern that Christmas is a celebration of the incarnation of the Son of God who came into the world to save us from our sins; this is something that should make us happy.
I am starting to suspect that mainline churches are becoming ashamed of Christmas. Driving home this evening we passed a United Church which brazenly advertised a Holiday Jingle, while a school almost next door had a sign for its Christmas Concert.
