Subject: RE: BS: 45% of Americans Abandon Reason
Non-believers in what, SD? Everyone believes in something.
Most people will avoid going to the office if they have a good excuse not to. Holidays are very good excuses not to. That's what it amounts to with the majority of people, believe me, including the majority of "Christians".
There are a relatively few people who treat religious holidays with genuine reverence...except in the Muslim world. They're a younger religion. Young religions tend to be more serious about their faith.
Christmas is, for most people, a social tradition, a spending and eating spree, and a holiday off work. Why? Because the $ySStem wants it that way! MONEY talks.
Like I said, everyone believes in something. Scratch the average North American skin deep and you will discover that he/she believes in MONEY. Why? Because money is the chosen tool of survival in this society. If you have it, you eat. If you don't, too bad.
And I don't like that one bit...I wish it wasn't so...but it is so. The moneylenders have taken over the Temple, SD.
