It's time to drive Christmas from the public square



 America is not a Christian country nor ever has been.  In the past, yes most people were Christians, but it was never the official state religion.  European nations used to be theocracies under Christendom but not anymore, and so they also cannot be called Christian countries.  Besides that, Christians are starting to fade away and be replaced by other religions.  The West is no longer really fully Christian and now we have the term post-Christian.  Even people who are Christians often don't take their religion very seriously and don't really follow any of the principles. To many people, this is a good thing, but Christianity has not yet died and needs to be utterly destroyed. 

Christmas stands for Christ's Mass, a time to venerate the birth of Jesus Christ. But who exactly was Jesus? Before I get to Jesus’ opinion about members of other religions, you might want to take a look at where he was coming from.  Jesus’ biblical religion had replaced the old and indigenous Canaanite and Phoenician religions some centuries earlier, the bible says this was done by force and extreme violence accompanied by insane hatred.  The Canaanites’ sin was that they did not worship the one true god of the bible. Once the religion of the Bible was established over the Canaanite peoples, their temples were destroyed, their religion forbidden and the native people were forced into indentured labor and various forms of slavery, including sex slavery.  These harsh conditions were again not created by superfluous ideology but were the central tenets of the Old Testament of the Bible.  Some argue that the Bible's description of events are not historical, but still, they are of course an “ethical” narrative that teaches Christians how to behave and think, regardless of their reality.

Now fast forward to Jesus’ time. The Old Testament prophesied of a coming messiah (or perhaps messiahs) who would lead the entire earth to the recognition of this one true religion and that eventually every other “false” religion would subside under his reign.  Jesus claimed to be this messiah, the very one to fulfill the Old Testament’s promise.  Verily, Jesus himself stated: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” – Mathew 5:17.  But the Old Testament had called for the death, enslavement and severe mistreatment of the pagan peoples of the region along with the abolition of their religion.  Many people believe that Jesus spoke kindly of all peoples, but Jesus did not care for pagans at all. While one might think that he would have made reconciliations for these past hatreds and atrocities, Jesus was very clear that “pagans” were to be treated as if they were foreign usurpers (Roman tax collectors) and he despaired of them as being superficial, materialistic and babbling. If Jesus were really as loving as many claim, he would not have heaped further disdain upon people whom his religion had genocided and enslaved, and to refer to pagans as foreign usurpers is obviously a veiled command for further violence. 

What Did Jesus Christ Say About Pagans?

 Pagans Are Materialistic

“So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:31-33 NIV)

Pagans Babble

“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, Who is unseen. Then your Father, Who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.” (Matthew 6:6-8 NIV)

Pagans Are Like (Roman) Tax Collectors

“If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.” (Matthew 18:15-17 NIV)

Some Things Are Too Low, Even For Pagans

“He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?” (Matthew 5:45-47 NIV)

Why should pagans allow this holiday to be visibly celebrated in state buildings, public schools, courthouses, police stations, public libraries, public colleges, post offices, on postage stamps, and other places?  Why should we allow our tax dollars be used to pay for decorations, festive foods, Christmas cards, Santa visits or for any other Christmas-related activities of supplies? Jesus hated us, as the god-man culmination of genocide he rebuked us once again and never apologized. The Christian religion led to the death and enslavement of millions of pagans worldwide because they were pagans.  It is disgusting that Christians believe they have the right to parade their holiday of death around like this on the pagan dime. 

So how do pagans push back on the public celebration of Christmas? First, you should send out emails and other communications about two months before Christmas stating that it would be inappropriate for any public building or office to participate in Christmas for the reasons mentioned. You should speak to everyone in your work and social group and ask them not to wish you Merry Christmas or get you a Christmas present as, even though this may be innocent, it is still offensive and the giver should be made aware of this and it should be planted in their head that they should think before holiday greeting or giving again. Don't attend Christmas parties at public events and again protest them.  You may want to design pamphlets and make banners to hand out and display outside the event.  Write to Congress to make it illegal to use taxpayer dollars to celebrate Christmas on public grounds or for public reasons. Stress frivolous concerns like the environmental concern of killing so many trees during Christmas, any way you can demonize the holiday. 

The anti-Christmas message should be mixed with facts about Christian genocides, colonialism, racism, and other misdeeds.  We basically need to revile this religion and stop tolerating it being expressed publicly.  Eventually, Christmas and Christianity should be labeled hate speech and should be totally driven from open polite society totally.  We should get it to the point that even private companies no longer celebrate Christmas or show Christmas ads on TV.  Pagans have suffered enough from monotheism and the fact that these people openly celebrate their holidays with public funds shows that we are subjected to their cultural tyranny which they established through forced conversion, terror, and bloodshed.
