The War On Christmas

At the beginning of December, men and women gather in the halls of libraries, those unholy bastions of atheism, and finalize their plans for the yearly battle.

Meanwhile, around the country, lights are put up, Christmas trees bought and decorated garishly. Happiness is in excess and and the cause is Christ.

But in the night, those pernicious heathens wander from street to street, pliers in hand. Cutting lights and burning whole forests of evergreens, reigning terror on God's kingdom of Christendom.

But don't be too worried, there are some fighting the good fight. Heroes of the faith, led by Hannity and O'Reilly work day and night to expose the extremist secularist agenda.

American can only handle so many mangled wreaths and defaced ribbons before the Eagle of Vengeance awakens and retaliates.

Those grinchy secularists, who poison department store Santas and uproot poinsettas will find that their evil books on philosophy will be burned in the public square. Their coffee shops devoid of chai and mocha lattes.

This will be how the Christians win the war.

And on the night of the 24th, when all the children are sleeping, Jesus will descend in his sleigh, led by the apostles and drop presents and eternal salvation down the chimneys of the faithful.

But the secularists only get coal and and the right to think freely.

A Brief Treatise on Video Games, Religion, Music and Politics

Its been a two weeks. I've been busy so unable to blog as regularly as I would like but as the semester winds down I'll be slowly released from the steely grip schoolwork has on me.

Like most guys my age, I love video and computer games. So its always bothers me when politicians attack video games as if they're the cause to all of society's ills. Whenever the new Grand Theft Auto comes out you shouldn't be surprised when the next Senator eyeing their spot on the future presidential ticket proclaims that children are being hurt by the pixels on a screen.

If you're gonna complains about something that hurts kids, why not focus on the true culprit. Music. Specifically, Contemporary Christian Music.


AAAAAAGHHH!

Have you ever sat in a room with crying people, all holding their hands in the air. Almost as if they're one with each other and their lord. Collectivist propaganda. Wait till they start emptying their wallets on the collection plate. Redistribution of wealth rears its ugly head once again.

These Christian bands serve as the mouthpiece for the miniature totalitarian state.

And isn't the church the ultimate nanny state? All those rules. So much bureaucracy.


The first recorded executive decision

Sure, many video games have mature content, but those games are labeled with an M, and can't be sold to minors.

While the Bible, a book of genocide, slavery, and animal sacrifice, can be bought at your local Wa-Wa by a toddler for a dollar.

When you play a violent video game, nobody pops up on the screen to justify your actions or to kill folks in real life.

But in a holy book? That's the whole point. Read these stories, then emulate them.

So what's the lesson we've learned today?

You can publish the most violent content without retribution as long as you put the word "Holy" somewhere on the product. It also has to include a man in the sky who's really into discipline.


Parents would love him if he had a cross or five.
