Is it just me - or is there anybody else offended by the first post in the thread? I kind of look at it as a cheap shot. I wonder how they would like it if I put a message from Martin Luther in the OBOB forum. Ah maybe I'm just too grumpy right now... Merry Christmas!

Maybe I'm just too simple-minded to take offense to what appears to be a nice gesture. To my Catholic friends, merry Christmas!

Well. . .I didn't mind the "Merry Christmas," it was the mass homily that turned me off. For someone to post that in an area that believes almost completely the opposite of all that that stands for. . .I just felt that it was an inappropriate place to post that. Do you think that they would want us to just randomly post Edwards in their congregational area? How about Calvin or Luther's 95 Thesis? I don't really think so. Thus, for them to just post a mass of John Paul II in our area, umm, let's just say that I did not find it appropriate. However, for all of the Merry Christmas wishes, I heartily return them.

yup, we could just get over our petty denominational differences, quit looking for ways to be offended and wish each other a Merry Christmas. Lets be thankful Christ was born and gave us, all of us, life. :bow: :crossrc: :clap:

Oh man, that's a great idea.

Some don't see it as "denominational differences." Some of us, like me, see it as a religious difference. As in, two different religions.

Soli Deo Gloria
