(10,607 posts)I know, I know, "no true Scotsman" and all that, but it's becoming clearer and clearer to me that many of the people calling themselves "Christian" these days are anything but.
I was raised in the Christian church but am no longer a Christian. Still, I am appalled to see a billboard replacing Jesus with tfg. It blows the mind that anyone thought this was appropriate.

King James Version
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Isaiah 9:6
New King James Version
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

I'm not religious but this billboard is offensive even for me.

(1,371 posts)of hearing the soprano, Lois Marshall and the Toronto Symphony perform the Messiah, I was young, but the performances stirred me. Have been a fan of live symphonies ever since. Totally not religious, but also a fan of Xmas music performed by pros, or gifted amateurs.
