It is about this time every year that e-mails and news reports start going around outraged that some business is putting up Happy Holiday signs or not saying "Merry Christmas" to their patrons. Lists upon lists are going around to boycott the stores who don't celebrate "the reason for the season," which seem to end the day after Christmas. This begs the question; why do the majority of these people fight so hard for a Christian holiday, yet they aren't out there defending Christ all year round?
I think people need to put things in perspective and realize that defending their faith should be an everyday activity and we should not waste time berating businesses for making business decisions. We should be trying our hardest to fulfill the Great Commission and make Disciples of Christ everywhere we go and in everything we do. It reeks of blatant hypocrisy that people defend Christ's birthday, yet when they have agnostic or atheist friends, they say that they are entitled to have their own beliefs and who are we to tell them that they are wrong. True believers know the fate of those who don't believe, that is why it is so important for us to be able to explain our Faith and why we know that God is REAL and so is His Son.
