Christianity: "Go To Hell"

My, my, my: What a surprise befell me while looking at the Drudgereport last evening. The article in question was: "Davenport, Iowa changes "Good Friday" to "Spring Holiday". Since my family and I spent fifteen years of our lives in the river city my interest was more than piqued. In a nutshell, the city council, according to them, was blindsided by the Davenport Civil Rights Commission. The Commission ramrodded this thing through. Fortunately, the City Father's quickly came to their senses and reversed the decision. The Civil Rights group was looking for, you guessed it, a non-biased holiday....inclusion of all, if you will. The Davenport Police department was incensed but for the wrong reasons. Eliminating the words, "Good Friday" would violate their union contract and it would not be a paid holiday. Isn't this entire scenario nuts? Whether you are a practicing Christian or not, understand this: Jesus Christ LIVED and DIED on the cross 2,000 years ago. His presence, more than any other person, has influenced world civilization. Our nation was built on Christian principles. Sadly, there are many in public life who want to destroy every value Christianity has provided. Let me present you with proofs on a national level. In 2007 then presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama stated that the United States was no longer a Christian nation.In 2009 Barack Hussein Obama canceled our National Day of Prayer at the White House so as to not offend anyone. On September 25, 2009 A National Day of Prayer for Muslims took place on capitol hill with 50,000 Muslims in attendance. Pity had these 50,000 been Christians. The media would have verbally crucified every one of them for inciting hatred among the masses. We've more to fear in this country than what the Davenport Civil Rights Commission promoted. I don't like to proselytize but at this time of year would it really hurt for all of us to get down on our knees and thank Him for our blessings? That symbolic time frame, Noon to 3 pm was not a "holiday" for Jesus Christ, regardless of your beliefs.
