Help Keep Michelle Kwan in Kwanzaa
Jesus! What is it about separation of church and state that some people have so much trouble with? Is the government knocking down the doors of your place of worship and ripping the word Christ out of your Bibles, hymnals, sermons, and mouths? If Christians are so worried about secularism overtaking their precious arbitrary holiday, then go tell all the children the truth about Santa Claus! Tear up or lock away your credit cards from early October through late January, recycle your ornaments and stockings, and celebrate the birthday of your Savior in a way that he would find appropriate and blessed (with two syllables)! The spirit of the First Amendment was to protect religious freedom for EVERYONE, not just for Christians. Of course, nowhere does it explicitly say "separation of church and state" in the Constitution, as nowhere in the Bible does it explicitly say "celebrate My birthday on December the 25th of every year by spending exorbitant amounts of money on each other, in order to prove how much you love me - and while you're at it , be sure and legislate your beliefs, not just about my birthday, but about EVERYTHING, onto society as a whole, and suppress the rights of all minorities whenever you get a chance." The imbalance of this set of attitudes is self-evident, and I'm f***ing tired of the religious right continuing to insist on the absoluteness of their point of view. Spiritual awareness is a personal journey, but religion has turned it into a May Day parade.

I gotta agree - pretty sure Jesus would as well.
