Didn't take long today to get my first news article that was troubling. You can read the whole article here: http://www2.nbc17.com/member-center/share-this/print/?content=ar905322.So what is wrong with this? Easter is not a Hallmark holiday that some company invented to sell more cards, it is a celebration of the Resurrection of Christ. It is my belief that this is part of a bigger effort to detach the United States from its core beliefs. I understand that there are a lot of religions (or lack of religion) followed within the United States and they each have their own right to practice but that doesn't mean you can eliminate Christian holidays simply because the minority does not follow them or even may be offended by them. Our founders believed this country was founded through divine inspiration and because of that God has become the cornerstone of everything this country is. Whether you believe or not, God has a place in this country and if we wipe any reference to Him from the books we are certain to fail.
If you think this is an isolated incident, just do some searching regarding the effort to rebrand Christmas. Here are a just a couple quick links to browse:
