Redneck Review!
No. 139 - 12/18/17
Some random thoughts parade through my mind as I ponder the significance of the event we will be celebrating in just a few short days!  In this area, all who read this know exactly what that event is, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, son of God, a day recorded in pages of virtually every history book that has been written over the past 2000 years!
However, it is admitted here that immediately some will challenge the statement above, since even in our own country, there are those who blatantly claim that the entire event was a hoax! That no God-man did at one time live on this earth and live the life as recorded in millions of Bibles which have been written, read and studied over the years and centuries! 
Daily we are exposed to modern individuals who insist that we use "Happy Holidays," or any of the several titles that one sees creeping up more and more in our secular society today! And we are all familiar with angrily filed court cases by those who deny the obvious, and who think that they can eliminate an important part of history by simply insisting that it be recorded the way they want!  Thus, the display of a Christmas crib has been challenged in some parts of our country today, and we all know how often some disgruntled person or group demands that publicly displayed copies of the OUR FATHER or the TEN COMMANDMENTS or other displays of Christian belief be taken down and removed from public view!
Well, SORRY is the response that those folks will get from this writer and from the majority of people who live in this area, and it is claimed here, from a significant majority of any and all who live in all parts of our country today!  The basic fact is that there always have been individuals and sometimes groups who believe they have the power to destroy the records of the past and replace them with their version of what has happened!  And common sense tells us that this will always be the case tomorrow and for years in the future!
Why, one might ask?  It is asserted here that it a case of individuals or groups that are not happy with the way things are, and who want to replace  time honored rules for living with their own idea of what is true and acceptable!  Why be restricted with the demands of the old TENCOMMANDMENTS which are part of history and part of the Bible and its clear story of the birth and life of Christ and the CROSS HE accepted out of love for HIS created people!  Simply put, it is just another example of the demands of more and more individuals today who insist on "Doing it their way," as has often been discussed in previous articles found here!
And any serious student of history knows that the rise of Communism in Russia in 1917, and the subsequent growth of atheism in the world and in our country is an important source of this new and radical skepticism!  A fact it is that one of Marx's primary goals was the elimination of all religion, and the destruction of all who stubbornly insist on following its rules!  And the saddest of all realities is that many who fall into the camp of the complainers and grumblers about our belief in Christ and Christmas do not realize that the freedoms they treasure and live with today, would be the first things that would disappear should they get their way and do away with all reminders of Christ, and Christianity, and the Christmas season we celebrate shortly!  Not surprising, for all history records the stories of the gullible and the ignorant who rant and rave and work to destroy the very life styles they enjoy based on the system they want to change and destroy!  Just another example of the blind who follow the Pied Piper of Old who led his gullible followers to their death and destruction!  Oh, well!   It will never change, as the freedom given us by the very God so many today want to destroy, allows us to challenge our maker and, "doing it our way," rush to our own destruction! So to all readers! HAVE A HAPPY... AND HOLY... CHRISTMAS SEASON!
