Let’s not forget it’s Christmas

Each day that passes, our society is becoming more stringent on political correctness, afraid of offending someone.

There is a movement in this country to ban God from daily life as if His mention is an endorsement of a certain religion and the United States Constitution clearly states the separation of state and church. But the Constitution is being interpreted today according to whoever is reading it and it can only spell trouble for all religions.

When our forefathers so brilliantly designed the document that would rule this country for 230 years, they did it with God in mind precisely to prevent future generations for omitting it while giving us the freedom to practice any religion without interference from the state.

This is not the “holiday season” but the Christmas Season. We cannot forget that the only reason we celebrate it is because that was the birth of Jesus.

If the Afro American community wants to celebrate Kwanzaa, we should be there to support them and make sure they have every right to do so. This past weekend was the beginning of Hanukkah for the Jewish religion. Persecuted through history, they bless the freedom found in this country that respects their beliefs.

God is not a religion. In the end, we all believe in that Supreme Being, just like the signers of the Constitution.

Have a Merry Christmas filled with peace!
