Why would the ACLU want to undermine Christmas?

They're a sick organization.

It's not all of them.  Just some of the zealots that try to start trouble by attempting to trick us.\n\nNow, your question should have been, why can't they understand that there is more to the holiday season than Christmas (Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, etc.) and let places like Wal-Mart just recognize them all by saying Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays.  Those particular people are just trying to push their religious holiday on others...and frankly, it's not very Christmas like...

The same reason why the ACLU supports disgusting terrorists who want to kill civilians.  The ACLU has a noble cause, but doesn't stop to look at the bigger picture.  Do people have a right to be gay?  Sure.  But they can not rape little children

As an evangelical Christian (speaking only for myself), I can honestly say that I think most people are getting way too worked up over this issue.\nThe reality is that much of what we associate with Christmas in America (trees, lights, shopping, Santa, etc), has little to do with Jesus or the Bible; and no, Dec 25th is not a Biblical date.\n\nUnfortunately, people (who might or might not be followers of Jesus Christ), tend to get very outspoken about their 'faith' when the issues involve tradition or political policies, but flatly ignore Jesus' commands to share the Gospel, help the poor, etc.\n\nI do think that much of the Christian community's public reaction to this issue is a result of frustration with our "political correctness"-obsessed society.  We are under increasing pressure to keep our beliefs to ourselves (although our God and our consciences clearly tell us to do the opposite).  We often feel that we're being asked to concede our 'free speech' rights in order to avoid offending someone, while also being asked to tolerate other people's statements that are very offensive to us.  All the frustration comes out in these highly-publicized and 'easy' issues.\n\nBottom line:\nIt's easier and less controversial to say "Jesus is the Reason for the Season", than to say "God came to earth as a man, died on the Cross in payment for your wrong-doing, and rose to life again so that you can have eternal life with God."

The ACLU should be called the Anti-Christian Liberals Union.  One thing is to stand up for the rights of some poor uneducated person who just got fired for no reason and can't defend himself from the big corporation, etc... but to be so totally against religion that you would proactively and without a single complaint, spend time and effort to stamp out prayer, etc from all government ceremonies, etc., is just insane.  The lawyers who work for and the people who support the ACLU really should look at themselves and ask, "isn't the fact that I am against religion (which in its best form, molds family values and keeps kids from being raised in broken homes, etc.), make me participant to the destruction of the very thing I am trying to protect (the well-being of the average person).  It is actually leading to the deterioration of our values as a society instead of contributing to them.  Don't be fooled... unless you are trash in society, you will never need their help.  Who knows if you are trash?  Not me.  I don't know, but you should... and if you are, you still have a chance to remedy yourself. But remember, once you do, they will no longer be interested in helping you because there will be no news value to it.

I'd call those hypocrites out. They must be very insecure about their beliefs if they are threatened by Santa. They harp on and on about believing in this higher being, that no one has seen. I'm talking about God, not Jesus (most Christians of late seem to think that they are one and the same, which they are not.) Jesus did walk on this Earth. These same people try to say that Santa is dead. My understanding is that Santa Claus, is a saint; Saint Nicholas. \n\nI grew up in a Christian home, but we also believed in Santa. \nSanta wants you to be good so that you can be rewarded on Christmas morning. You can't see him. I think those ideals gave us the outline of what is expected of us from God. The bible outlines the many rules we must adhere to, or face the dire consequences of the failure to do so. \nSanta just focuses on the positive reinforcement of those biblical bylaws. If we are good all year, get a reward. Nothing wrong with that.

That's because now that it's a federal holiday, it has turned into a secular celebration. Christians have stolen practically all of their holiday traditions from pagan ritual.\n\nDo you honestly think Jesus was born on December 25th?\n\nChristmas isn't an exclusively Christian holiday, little miss possessive. Do you want us to stop eating, drinking, having parties, and being merry simply because you don't like the idea of us non-believers celebrating a pagan holiday?\n\nFor a Christian, you sure are spiteful. Tsk tsk.

I agree with whoever wrote this article. For too long we as Christians have been contentedly complacent in our belief that since we have accepted God's Plan of Salvation that our work is done. That's not so. Time is so short,and we need to do whatever we can to broadcast the Plan to others,and not keep it to ourselves. I too have been guilty of sitting back and letting someone else do my work for me. As Christians,we each have a work to do,and in whatever way we can,we are to share our faith with others,wether they receive it or not. Fear of rejection or persecution should not be a factor in doing God's Will. I believe the same urgency I feel is felt by other Christians around the world. We see the signs of the times,and it is time to step up to the plate,so to speak,and witness to the world. It is also time to stand up for our rights as Christians and take back what organizations such as the ACLU has taken from us.We have the same rights as others,yet it is our religious rights that are being trampled at every turn. Now is not the time to fear what man can do to us. Now is the time to stand up for what is right and moral regardless of what the world thinks of us.Now is the time to put on the full Armor of God and be the people God has chosen us to be.

well they sued the boy scouts because they had God in their oath, and an atheist sued of behalf of his child and the ACLU was right their, now they can't be on public land any more, boy scouts have to find some where else to go, all because of some dam atheist. San Diego Mt Solidad cross, another atheist wants it down ACLU is right their, they don't pay attention to what the majority of people want, the San Diego case has been going on for 17 years now and no body wants that cross down  but a few atheists same thing with the boy scouts. They also defend deviants, like nambla, who want to make it legal to have sex with children. It's a sick organization. And their going to far.

Because many of them are giant hipocrites.  It's the only day of the year that they consider themselves Christians and they "need" the hoopla to get into the "spirit".  The spirit of what?? Trading gifts with everyone and asking for new games?  That's the spirit?  I think not.   Honest Christians find the commercialism of Christmas sickening and it gets worse every year.  Ironically, all these once a year, self-appointed "Christians," will be the first to mock a believer and ridicule us for practicing our faith all throughout the year.  I stay away from the pomp and circumstance of the season and focus on what the event is really about, commemorating the birth of our Savior.

Under the First Amendment, the government cannot expend funds to promote any particular religion.  If Christkindlmarket Chicago depends on state funding to conduct the festival, then it was probably the only option.

The ACLU should be destroyed. It is out to destroy the United States but unfortunately , our stupid, archaic laws protect it and its un-American members.

Lol, "A Festivus for the Rest of Us!"  \nIt was kind of like the "Anti-Christmas", what with the aluminum pole instead of the tree, and the feats of strength and airing of grievances instead of giving gifts.  Comic genius!

The war on Christmas.  Just a pre-emptive, self-directed attack on conservatives BY conservatives, to victimize themselves and reinforce their ultra-fundamentalist agenda.....and to deride other cultures by trying to portray THEM as the oppressors, vs. the other way around.\n\nStupid.  It's been "Happy Holidays" to recognize the many occasions between Halloween and Valentines Day, you theo-cons!

They like them better... I mean ,you have a Christmas tree in your house that means by pushing the tree on them you were actually trying to force your Christian beliefs on them , which is a no , no ... Did they hurt themselves while breaking into your home?? You better hope not , one splinter from your door is worth millions... The ACLU will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt , that in all reality , YOU were the aggressor, you and your Christmas tree.. Did you have a manger scene under the tree ?? If yes , you're sunk...........
