My dear evangelical friends, please relax! Breathe! You are not under attack. Whatever made you think you were? Oh, yeah. The Republican Party - who are manipulating and using you. And, Fox. You know that there never was a "war on Christmas," right?
Do facts count? I do hope so.
More than 90% of our House and Senate are Christian! If you count Catholics. You do count Catholics as Christian, don't you?
Those who are unaffiliated with any religion (terrifying, I know) make up about 20% of the general public but only 0.2% of Congress. That's because voters would rather elect thieves, liars, cheaters, divorcees, drunks, and ... well anyone as long as they are a proclaimed Christian!
There is generally 0-1 person in Congress who is not Christian. Is that one too many for you?
Jews - who are rumored to be taking over the world in spite of being only .02% of the world's population - make up ... oh... about 1 person in the the Congress at any given time.
Over 90% of Republicans in the House are... Christian!
Around 80% of Democrats in the House are... you guessed it! Christian! We do have some diversity - a few Jews, Mormons, occasionally a Muslim or Hindu or Buddhist thrown in.
Does it really sound like Christianity is under attack?
Our currency does not have "In Allah, Buddha, Krishna, Johovah & Yaweh We Trust" on it, now does it?
After asking for donations, our city council had to have a talk to decide if it was OK to add a dreidle to the holiday decorations. What about all that "Judeo-Christian" BS?
Are the 6 major beliefs and the 5 pillars of Islam up in the courthouse?
Hey, I want the Jewish commandments on the wall of the courthouse! All 613 of them!
What if... we got a school holiday for every Jewish and Hindu and Buddhist and Muslim religious holiday?
So, cool your engines. The gestapo is not on its way to your door. You are the gestapo! No worries!
Love and Peace,
VLL
