Religion is the center of my life. I try very hard to be a Christian first and all else must take it's proper place. People are forgetting that our country was founded on Christian values. I do not believe in such total separation of church and state, and do not believe that our founding fathers did either. Just look at all the scripture on buildings and memorials around Washington DC. The constitution does not guarantee a separation as some try to say it does. Don't get me wrong. I don't believe that our government should force religion on us, but I do believe that they should not restrict our freedom to exercise our religious beliefs openly.

You may be surprised though that I do like the change to Happy Holidays and Season's Greetings, because I do not believe that we should celebrate December 25 as Christ's birthday. No where in the Bible are we authorized to set aside a specific day to celebrate His birth. We should celebrate Christ's birth, life and death every day by obedience and reverence to Him. We are to commemerate him through the Lord's supper every first day of the week and live a life that is an honor to Him.

I definitely think that religion is losing it's influence. People need to get back to the Bible & try to live as God intended.
