I was watching the O’Reilly Factor on the “Fair and Balanced” news source last night, and they began rambling on about how Easter, like Christmas before it, may be a target of the secular humanists in the near future, as the holiday draws nearer.
The War on Christmas has passed. Easter, a national holiday which celebrates the Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, may be too religious for those that seek to rid the United States of any Christian beliefs, or anything that involves faith, period.
They went on about how a woman in a workplace in St. Paul, Missouri, was asked to get rid of a bunny rabbit (a traditional representation of Easter, its nature not religious in the least bit) because he believed it would “offend” people. Tell me this: how is a holiday, rooted though it was in earlier times, now indicated by eggs and rabbits and colorful garnishments, going to be a threat to religious freedom and tolerance when its present form has no religious foundation? If we got rid of everything that had a religious background, like many our attempting, our nation would be defunct! Why? Because America used to be a God-fearing, moralistic, and highly religious nation. That has since passed, but there is nevertheless a strong Christian sentiment still existent, and it is in a bout with secular humanism, which is also increasingly more threatening to our traditional Christian heritage and way of life.
I pity them, I really do. For a people who are known for parading around in favor of human rights and personal freedoms, they are pretty intolerant. The Liberal, Left-wing, and secular humanists that see something a threat to their beliefs just as quick censor Easter as we conservative Christians censor pornography. That is hypocrisy.
