Some guy, Melvin Rose, posted this comment on a Dallas Morning News blog about First Baptist’s Grinchiness:
Imagine if a guy had a really primo parking space at the mall, right by the door, and you were circling round and round looking for a space, and he said to you, “Happy Holidays! I’m leaving. Would you like my space?”
Who amongst us, no matter what flavor of religion they choose, would turn the guy down?
Two people complained about it. I kid you not.
It’s not the War on Christmas we need to worry about — it’s the War for Fundamentalist Correctness that threatens us more.
I’m half tempted to call that church and wish them a Feliz Navidad just to see if they have a conniption fit.
At any rate, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.
Yes even you, Morgan.
