Fake Holiday!

Recommended Posts

I don't celebrate Kwanzaa; I don't mind those who do.  Now that I think about it I don't know anyone who is really into the holiday.  I do find it amusing though that certain people, like Ann Coulter, and others take time out to bash Kwanzaa.  It is the irony that gets me.  Kwanzaa, christmas, easter, sunday worship they are all in the same boat.  Dare i say it?  Yes: they are all fake.  Before I get into a little detail let me say that I get a good vibe at x xmas time, also at easter, even a little on sunday, although I go to church on the 7th day, the day most people call saturday.  

No where in the bible does the Lord tell his people to celebrate christmas.  Nor does He say to worship easter.  Nowhere does it say that december 25th is his birthday.  It also does not say that sunday is the sabbath, nor is it a day of worship. Christmas was being celebrated by pagans before Jesus was born.  Same with Easter.  Same with sunday.   The people who were responsible for bringing these pagan holidays into the christian church were much more thuggish than Ron Koranga ever was.  History bears this out.  They spilled lots of innocent blood, to the tune of 50 million or so people slaughtered, and that is a very conservative estimate.  

I roll with the holidays, i don't bash what others believe.  I just find it odd that they pick on kwanzaa when their beliefs are in the same category, namely fake.  Peace.

Interesting and informative post Kzer. To me, more like a (Gibbs) slap on the back of the head to remind us. I got the impression that Ann was bashing the FBI more than Kwanzaa, but honestly, I couldn't read the whole thing.  Like many things the media gets focused on, if Kwanzaa is all we have to worry about, we're in good shape.  

Like you I think, don't want to argue about this, but I've always wondered why us Christians call Sunday the Sabbath?  Since we're an extension of The Jews, and theirs is on Sat, how did ours get to Sun (for most denominations).  Even most calendars start with Sunday and the seventh day is Saturday.  

Imo it's not a "game changer" whichever day you worship God as long as you do.  Just curious, so maybe someone can explain it. I may be old, but I still like to learn a few things (of course I know most everything else lol).

    • Tomball takes wild 2nd game 8-6. Both teams had 3 E's. Tomball gave up a late lead but first game pitching star Sampson nailed a 3 run homer to push Tomball to victory. 
    • My understanding is that the falsification of records was the crime that he was convicted of… but for it to have been a felony act, it had to have occurred in the furtherance of another criminal act. The prosecution had to first prove that the criminal act of falsifying documents had occurred. IF the jury believed that records were falsified, they were given three possible criminal acts… any one of the three would allow a felony conviction. The instructions stated that for any of the 34 charges, all twelve of the jurors had to agree that records were falsified, but they also had to believe that the records were falsified in the furtherance of at least one other, different crime. Six jurors could believe that Trump was falsifying records to avoid paying taxes… the other six could believe that it was skirt around election laws. The jurors didn’t have to agree on which of the three alleged criminal acts Trump was trying to further by falsifying records, just so long as they agreed that a) the falsification occurred and that it b) occurred to help him cover up another crime (for which he wasn’t charged and never proven to have committed or to have even occurred, for that matter).     Complete pile of crap as a prosecution, in my opinion.     But, we shouldn’t cry if our nominee is the kind of man who bangs porn stars while his wife is at home with the kid, then tries to buy her silence, then breaks the law in regards to falsifying documents to hide the evidence of the coverup.    If you’re wondering why falsifying those records might be illegal, it’s this. Money paid to your attorney for services performed can be deducted from one’s taxes as a legal expense. If the money is paid to a person to settle a personal claim, then the amount would be taxable-the falsification would have been done to avoid taxation. On the other hand, if campaign funds were spent to pay hush money and the records were falsified to hide the violation of campaign laws, then the felony occurred.    The bottom line is this…. They didn’t have enough evidence to indict trump on any of those three things that allegedly happened… but they DID have evidence that the financial records were falsified, so they point at these other acts which can’t be proven to bump the charges on falsification to a felony.    And the reason Trump didn’t take the stand is that he can’t go on the record about whether or not he had sex with Daniels… I’m certain that they can prove it and hang him up on perjury too.    The most delicious irony is this… Trump gave his supporters too much credit for their integrity. He thought they’d turn on him if they found out what he’d done, when in reality they wouldn’t have given a care… Trump’s whole falsifying records and quest for secrecy wasn’t even needed… his followers don’t have moral objections to his sinful acts.
