How Darwin Stole Christmas

Articles - Main

A backlash against banishing Christmas from the public square is in an uphill battle against liberal courts, the ACLU and the government itself. Last year, a message of discontent was sent to culpable retailers by the American Family Association and increasing numbers of American shoppers. Presents were

purchased and money spent where Christmas greetings were not only welcomed, but extended. Only because of the almighty dollar, and not the Almighty, have some merchants softened their opposition to the mention of Christmas. The underlying hostility, however, still brims as liberal courts, the ACLU and the government stand firm. 

The assault on Christmas began in 1859 when figgy puddings were the rage. As 19^th century families celebrated the birth of their Savior, a movement began to remove Christ from Christmas. It took root from the meandering suppositions of a man who, like his father and his grandfather, denounced Christianity. Seeking approval, the man proffered up a theory he believed would also win him favor with his agnostic, atheist and elitists friends. In defiance of God as Creator and armed with the new "theory," those elitists looked down their noses at the reverent masses and their belief in a higher power.  The man was Charles Darwin. His theory, simplistic and unproven, was the theory of evolution.

Based on mid-1800 rudimentary science, devoid of empirical scientific data to support it, Darwin's theory became the means to an end to replace God as both Creator and Sovereign over humankind and the universe. Darwin's elites proclaimed all life evolved from nothing. Darwin's bogus science provided what god-deniers needed to reject a Creator God. Based on Darwin's "theory without a conscience," Darwin's elites logically extended -- if there is no God, there is no Christ.  Evolution became the God substitute.

No God, no conscience, no problem - except for people being oppressed. Socialism, Communism and Fascism function best in a godless Darwinian society. One need only reference the likes of Karl Marx and the oppressive tyrants that followed:  Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao Tse Tung, and others in the book, Darwin's Racists - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. All were great admirers of Darwin's theory of evolution and adopted it into their ideologies. The same ideology of Darwin's elites exists today among Washington's elitist Progressives -- allowing them to treat citizens however they deem necessary to thrust themselves into positions of power and control. They claim that rights come from government and not from God. The Marxist agenda being imposed by leftist elites in Washington today requires that "the government becomes god to the people."
