Default Tolerance


We’re now in week two of Fox News’ imaginary War on Christmas, which,
being imaginary and all, means that it’s finally a war they won’t dodge.
Despite the fact that Rockefeller Center looks like Santa Claus’
prostate exam and despite the fact that Christmas is actually a Pagan
holiday borrowed from a hodgepodge melange of Nordic traditions and
actually banned by the Pilgrims, the right-wing noise machine is under
the hilariously mistaken belief that secularists hate baby Jesus.
Further, those lying, soulless atheists are the world’s most influential
group of people.


Nothing screams tolerance of others quite like announcing your desire to
punch a group of people–albeit metaphorically–who simply believe in the
constitution. Well, that’s precisely what Christian radio host, Matt
Barber, had to say regarding an atheist group trying to prevent a
Michigan man from erecting a nativity scene on public land.

“You know, what do you do with a bully?” he explained. “If a bully
keeps getting his way and intimidating kids on the playground and nobody
stands up for themselves then the bully is encouraged and emboldened and
continues to bully more and more people. But when a little kid is being
bullied and he turns around and punches the bully in the mouth —
metaphorically speaking, of course — then the bully is oftentimes proven
to be a paper tiger.”

I think the argument is based on the fact that you can have all the
commercialism you want but you can't actually celebrate the birth of
Christ. Is there a nativity scene in Rockefeller center? No

The real humbug is the fact that this became a shopping holiday the
day after Labor Day.


Christmas has become nothing more than a very commercially profitable
period.


For some folks, that's very true. For others, it's not.
