He is everywhere. But our government wants him out of everywhere at all cost? I just read a post by a friend a fellow mylotter saying that her daughter's school is sending out letters telling the kids not to celebrate Christmas in a religious way and that Christmas is just another holiday. What is happen to free speech? What if the children are Christian and they want to give thanks to our LORD? And rejoice that he came to earth on Christmas day and giving thanks to all the blessing he has given us including saving us? What is the need to take GOD out of our schools? If the ones that don't want to don't have to do it but why stop the ones who do want to? Why stop them and block their freedom to love GOD?

Do I understand you right that they are telling the kids not to celebrate Christmas at all or are they telling the kids not to celebrate Christmas at school? What right does a school or any one else have to tell us not to celebrate the birth of Christ? I can understand them cutting Christmas out of the school (Well not really) But do they have the right to say don't celebrate Christmas?

No dear they just said don't do it at school, but what right do they have to tell me I can't? What happen to our freedom? Is Christians or people who believe in celebrating Christmas band from freedom of religion? That's what I want to ask the government and the school/education system. Thank you for your comment.

I don't get it...our country has christian beliefs at its center. If we cut God out really what do we have left. WE need to teach our children values but I think we lose some of these values when we remove God from everyday life.

Where is this misinformation coming from? The US was not founded on Christianity, it was founded on the FREEDOM of religion. Meaning there was NO central religion at it's foundation.

It was founded on the freedom for religion. But what faith did our founding father's have? Was it not Christianity? Was it something else? I don't get it I was taught that GOD and Christianity were the believes of our founding fathers of this country therefore that is why you see and have evidence that documents that look at the dollar bill or and money printed in this nation "GOD" is there. They try to take him off but I don't think that is wise to do. If you go back into your history book my dear you will find God is there too. But then again dear man or madam this is my own opinion....Thanks for the comment guys....

Yes the sad truth of today. Retailers and so call money makers has turn the true meaning of Christmas into a day to make $$$$$$$ and no more what it really is. But there are still some of us who are willing to teach and others who are willing to learn what it truly is. Christmas is the day God came to earth and that is when our lives and everyones on this planet has changed forever. Thanks for your comment.....

I don't know about that, but if it is an isolated incident it won't be for long. They want to make it seem as though we have freedom of religion here in the states but then again they turn around and do the opposite. You know those politicians, they say one thing to get them voted in then do another to stay in.

That is a very good comment. What they are doing is not keeping our kids safe but actually doing harm to them. They are like you said taking away the freedom of our children. Our children are our future so in theory they are taking away our future. Thanks for your comment.

Yup to each it's liking. If they want to they can if they don't they don't have to. Freedom of religion. I have not heap if someone hates to celebrate Xmas and I love it if someone wants to and even love it more if they want to donate because the season inspire them too. Especially if they want to donate to me LOL just kidding. God is everywhere if your faith is that he is walking with you, but for those who shut him out will never feel his true love in your heart.....

Hi cartoon,
Yes God is everywhere. It is tragic that some people in our government and schools want Him out and then they wonder why we have all the problems we do!!
God is in control. I know it seems this world is getting crazier by the day, but God still is in control. He takes care of those who love Him and obey Him.
When you give your life to Jesus Christ, He dwells within you. Others can see that you are different because of Christ's love. That can't understand the joy that you have because they don't know the Lord.
This world will one day be gone. Christ will come and He will reign. We need to focus on that which is godly and not worldly. Keep Jesus close to your heart. Teach your children about Him and worship Him in church. Pray everyday and always be thankful to Him for all He does for you!
God bless!

They do it for freedom of religion. The last thing you want is a religion to take over a country. Someday in the future the majority of people will be atheist.
