(ThyBlackMan.com) As I write my last column for the year, I debated what I should write about and these are the thoughts that came to my mind. So, I hope you enjoy!
As I reflect on the past few decades in our country, there was once a time when the Christmas season was so noncontroversial that it seems the whole country was unified for a period right after Thanksgiving through the new year.
That now seems like a distant memory.
Everything now is so “politically correct.” I refuse to spend any money with any organization or store that uses “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.” Yeah, I know; this is simply my one man protest of this silly season.
Kids can no longer do nativity scenes at their schools for fear of lawsuits by one atheist or one Muslim.
Now liberals are even trying to make Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer into a homosexual character. I am not joking.
So, it’s with much amusement that I find the liberal secularists are filled with much hypocrisy versus much joy for their refusal to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.
They celebrate Christmas, but not Christ. Please someone help me understand this. Christmas is the celebration of Jesus Christ, thus the name Christmas.
You can’t have Christmas without Christ no more than you can have a hamburger without meat. They are both mutually exclusive. You can’t have one without the other.
Even Burger King admitted as much with the launching of their “meatless hamburger.” They called it the “Impossible Burger.” That is the actual name.
They admit that it is impossible to have a hamburger without meat, thus the “Impossible Burger” name. But yet, they and their customers are telling people they are going to get the new hamburger at Burger King. Huh?
They have actually convinced the public that they can literally have a hamburger without meat even though that is an impossibility.
Mind you that these are the same people who are now saying that you can have a penis and yet be a woman; or you can have a vagina and yet be a man. Though both are scientifically, biologically, and medically impossible.
But, a lie that is repeated enough and goes unchallenged, becomes the truth.
This is like saying you love Michael Jackson, but you don’t like music; or like saying you like being on the highway, but you don’t like cars.
You gotta make up your mind.
So, this perverted logic that you celebrate Christmas, but don’t believe in Christ is likewise an impossibility.
We have allowed a few crazy liberals to poison and pervert an innocent celebration of Jesus Christ and the example he left for mankind to follow and turn it into something that is no longer recognizable.
If you choose not to celebrate Christmas, more power to you; but please stop trying to prevent those of us who do want to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas from doing so.
I keep telling yall what my boy Michael McDonald from the Doobie Brothers said, “What a fool believe he sees, no wiseman has the power to reason away; cause what seems to be is always better than nothing at all.”
Or what my boys the Temptations told me, “…Every night on my knees I pray, dear Lord, hear my plea, don’t ever let another take her love from me or I would surely die, her love is heavenly, when her arms enfold me, I hear a tender rhapsody, but in realty she doesn’t even know me; it was just my imagination once again runnin’ way with me.”
These are two of my all-time favorite songs. Both songs are about a man being in love with a woman who they don’t even know; but yet it seems so real that they actually believe they are in love.
In psychology, we have a word for people like this; it’s called psychosis. This is simply the inability to distinguish between fact and fiction.
So, by having a Merry Christmas, maybe we can help cure this Christmess liberals have created.
If your psychiatrist or psychologist can’t cure you of believing you can have a penis and yet be a woman, or have a vagina and yet be a man; or believing you are really eating a hamburger from Burger King that doesn’t come from a cow, etc.
Maybe, just maybe you spending a little time this Christmas season to understand the real meaning of Christmas; you just might be able to finally have your blinders removed from your eyes to see that Christmas is not about toys, trees, food, or parties.
It’s the realization that there is a higher power that’s bigger than all of us and the recognition of this higher power is the highest form of enlightenment. For without this enlightenment, “We are as the sounding brass or a tingling cymbal full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
And with that, a Merry Christmas to ALL!
