The greedy retailers love A Christmas Carol, which is why they make sure it is aired hundreds of times on TV throughout December every year. A Christmas Carol ought to be called "The Retailers Gospel," because every Holiday Season America's retailers get filthy rich at Christmas time. The entire moral of the movie, A Christmas Carol, is to stop being greedy, spend that money, and splurge on everyone you know. When will the American people figure out that the greedy retailers are exploiting them? The Bible doesn't instruct believers to honor Christ's birth. Christmas is just another day.

Next week, DJ here'll be back to slandering women.
I'll admit I was surprised to see a change in topic.
Yeah, and there is no self-interest in running a religion and making a living off it, is there? I'd point out that theologians always knew there was a self-serving element in love, but everyone already knows you're an ignorance-spreading hypocrite (and creepy, btw).
No, Christmas is not just another day, Christmas is the Solstice . Christians saw everyone else celebrating and tried to shoe-horn their religion in on it. If you don't want your religion included in the celebrations, fine, go away.
And mutter "Bah, humbug".
christmas, easter, halloween, thanksgiving...they have all been commercialised to the point that they no longer represent anything close to their original meaning.

Because we all know, you should hoard as much money as you can, and never spend any of it on anyone else but yourself, if you spend any of it at all, because after all, you don't want anyone else to get any of it and everybody knows, you get to take it with you when you go...
Okay, you, Bill O'Reilly, two chainsaws, and a giant cage.
Oh no! Corporations are teh evilz for trying to make money like they're supposed to for providing a service/good!
And they is clearly in cahoots with the evil liberal media!
And A Christmas Carol is surely not a nice story of a mean man reforming his ways!
Seriously this guy is batshit fucking crazy
Ok, it never said a lot of things, including using a computer, but a birthday is always wellcome in all cultures.
Funny, I always thought A Christmas Carol was ultimately all about loving your neighbour, like Jesus supposedly told people to do.
Besides, in a time of recession, it is good for the economy for people to be spending, rather than hoarding. Of course, Dave doesn't care if retailers go under and more people end up out of work, because he is the antithesis of everything Christianity is supposed to be about.

And this is a bad thing? Somebody pass Dave a camel and a needle, please.
It's about someone rich hoarding money to be miserable when he could be happy and charitable. It's a better moral tale than the Bible has anywhere.
Your right in the last sentence anyway, so stop celebrating Christmas and give it back to it's rightful owners

On the other hand, according to the bible Jesus specifically says to give away all your material posessions. Got an answer that one, David?
Are we talking about the same A Christmas Carol here? I'm thinking of the one with Tiny Tim and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. What the hell kind of A Christmas Carol is old David J. thinking of?
Have you ever read or seen it, you half-wit pedophile (judging by what else you've written, you have a meeting with Chris Hansen in your future)? Everybody hates Scrooge precisely because he's a greedy asshole.

Actually, the moral of "A christmas Carol" is to love those close to you and to be giving and generous to those less fortuante than you.

The same day the American christians figure out that the greedy televangalists are exploiting them.
The Bible doesn't instruct believers to honor Christ's birth.
The bible doesn't instruct you to drive a car either.
Christmas is just another day.
Then stop bitching about it and leave those who do celebrate it alone.
Whereas screeching endlessly about the young women on television who ignite the fire in your loins portrays Christianity in a great light.
How about practicing what you preach Dave? Instead of shrieking at people to control their greed by ignoring the holiday season, try controlling your lust and turn off the Disney channel!
Yeah, that will happen.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
