Too many nasty or cutting postings lately and it is getting near Christmas. Peace and Love to you all at this Festive time, whatever your religion or political persuasion.
Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year, Mike.

What's wrong with wishing this message the rest of the year? Why do many Christians only do it now?

Same with the "giving" thing.

There are less fortunate people all year around. Yet it seems like for many, the charity thing ends when the holidays end.

Please think about this starting 12/26 and enjoy your holiday.

You are, of course, right Martin. I'm not a Christian and I do try to wish people these things the rest of the year too, but it doesn't hurt to have a time which reminds us to think about this and hopefully makes us more inclined to remember it after the Yuletide holiday.

Be happy
Love (and peace) Lynne

Peace and Love to all every day. And for those who celebrate the birth of Christ, a special joy at this time of year.

As a side note, Christians don't just think of helping other people during the Christmas season. Neither do non-Christians.

People of good heart and loving acts know no season.

MG - We may need some good examples - please tell us about your charitable activities so we can be inspired and motivated.
I've done some work at a homeless shelter and I'm on the board of a group that sponsers a food drive.

How about you ?

Thanks

Sleepless in Cyberspace:

If it would change anyone's opinion we could all talk about the good acts we do throughout the year, whether we are Christians or Atheists.
But, people think what they want to think, and don't let reality confuse the issue.

I could leave myself out of the discussion and talk endlessly about all the loving, generous acts that others do, with no relationship to Liberal or Conservative, Christians or Atheist, or Jew.

Think I might just do that..

Jerry - Thanks - You're right. I just get very tired of MG's constant negativity, pettyness and blanket statments. I suspect that he does no charitable work of any kind and I was trying to call him on it. And that was petty of me. I was wrong. At any time of year.

Ha! I saw the innocuous title of this thread and just *knew* that someone would feel the need to inject a note of controversy...

But not me! Best wishes to all!

Sleepless Dad, I do charity volunteer work at a local food pantry. Also give regularly to out temple's Tzedakah fund for the needy.

I do this regularly through the year which is why I brought it up.

Maybe you saw yourself in what I said. I don't care if you are sleepless, but please don't be brainless............dad.

A lot of people give money or chattels but they don't all talk about it because it sort of takes something away from it don't you think. I mean do they do it altruistically or for their own glory?

There was once a Jewish carpenter who spread the wonders of peace and love, as well as forgiveness...

And Martin is correct, he didn't ask folks to demonstarte peace and love toward their fellow man just on *His* birthday...

Peace & Love
