(18,714 posts)How about some real, fact based American traditionalism like banning Christmas celebrations all together? You know, like those good ole Puritans in the Massachusetts Bay Colony???

P.S. Lots of Christians dont even put up Christmas lights. Thats something a fascist theocracy would require.

Of course Jacob Wohl wants to his master's work easier.
I grew up in a household where none of the adults agreed if, when, or how Christmas should be celebrated. It was always a time of intense religious warfare, a time when all the adults seemed to go insane.
Of my four grandparents only one believed in the white sort of television Christmas we thought all our neighbors were celebrating.
For all their talk about U.S. American "freedoms," freedom of and from religion especially, the fascist Christians sure do hate it.

(15,526 posts)... evangelical Christian leaders convince the gullible that the entire country will be punished by God, including them, unless EVERYONE submits to their cultural traditions.
Example: Pat Robertson attributing Hurricane Katrina to homosexuality.
No idea what compels this Wohl guy to act similarly.

(93,618 posts)Then what happens ?
What if they prefer to buy toys for children from homes that are struggling financially ? What if they want to give those toys to all poor kids they come across, not just Christian ones ?
What if their neighbor is a Buddhist that puts up Christmas lights ? Do they assimilate by doing buddhist things also ?

A prominent church in Texas recently paid for a billboard to ask commuters: Is the coronavirus a judgment from God? But thats not as bad as Ralph Drollinger, the Christian minister who leads a Bible study for members of President Donald Trumps Cabinet, who answered the question in the affirmative. In a series of blog posts, he argued that the disease is Gods consequential wrath on our nation, warning that whenever an individual or corporate group of individuals violate the inviolate precepts of Gods Word, he, she, they or the institution will suffer the respective consequences. Robert Jeffress, another Christian minister close to Trump, echoed this idea by warning, All natural disasters can ultimately be traced back to sin. Their interpretation of recent events is not as uncommon as you might assume. One recent poll reports that some 44 percent of Americans say the pandemic is a wake-up call from God and signs of coming judgment.

(56,108 posts)OK, a few more words: what an absolute self-loathing POS. This is the type of person those on the right like to hold up as their "Jew friend". He is barely better than a Kapo and more like a Court Jew. He is what many want in a Jew, submissive.

I think maybe this is fake. He's a jerk alright, but this might be just to provoke.
