Christmas without Jesus
- “When I was growing up in New York, before the period when we started calling this the ‘Winter Season,’ it was the ‘Christmas Program,’ and I was in a choir singing Christmas songs at public school. I could still give you a few verses of ‘Adeste Fideles,’ but I could never bring myself to sing the line ‘Christ the Lord.’”

Northminster Presbyterian: to change our hearts
We often don’t view God in the way we probably could or should.
Atheistic: (adjective) Disbelieving or lacking belief in the existence of God. Thus it is not a religion. The problem with religion is that each religion teaches that their belief system is the "one and only" and that all the other religions/belief systems are dooming their followers to hell. One can have faith without religion. One can believe without religion. Religion can only exist if it promotes (sells) itself and extracts money from their followers. Many religions do good things but above all they are in the business of selling their particular brand to people. Extracting from them through threats of going to hell or excommunication the giving of money. Just so no one is confused an Agnostic (noun); a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.
Pastor Clarke, you're late for church.
Yup except I gave it up for Lent a number of years ago.
