O'Reilly Blames Gays, Abortion For The 'War On Christmas': Do You Agree With Him?

Not quite true. Sure, legislators follow a certain "moral" calling. Some oppose abortion on moral AND Christian beliefs. Some, such as Caroline Kennedy, try to push abortion BASED on their Christian (in this case Catholic) beliefs. Were tied on that one. I, too, believe in Science but there is a guidance and comfort that religion brings to some people other than us. It is innately important to put that moral guidance (or as you might say, "moral leash") in effect in a society. I do recognize that it can go overboard and also become an interference such as not being able to teach evolution in the schools and attempt to impose the bogus ideas of the Institute for Creation Research (Sullivan, Gish, et. al.) or Intelligent Design. These ideas and beliefs actually impede science and knowledge due to trying to impose simple, Biblical "concepts" and attempting to wrap them around science.
The Bible as science? Naw. Because the Bible says that "he sat above the circle of the earth" does not impute religion to science. Besides, the earth is a sphere and that was discovered by non-Christian Greeks.
I get your point and understand your fears about "fanatical" religious beliefs but there are times when you can let go (as I have) and not see every celebration put on by ANY religion as a threat to science or secularism.
When it is "in your face", combat it. If it's just another passing day of celebration, let it go. Here is an example of "in your face" that I combated:
A fanatical Baptist asked me, "Since God created man first and woman last, do you think that God loves men more and that women were created as an afterthought?" I immediately had an answer for him. I said, First, Aquinas will rightfully tell us that God has no past and no future and exists in the Eternal Present. Thus He is incapable, though all powerful, of having an afterthought. Second, God created the plants and animals before Man, so did he create Man as an afterthought and therefore He loves the plants and animals more than Man? Third, after all of His prior creations, He created woman, not from the dust as all the other things, including Man, but from the rib of the pinnacle of His creation, Man. Maybe God saved the best for last.
It was an inarguable thesis. All he could say was, "Very good, Bill." and walked away.
I didn't need name calling and invective. One needs reason and being able to argue against such as the formulation of the ICR. They are wrong and they know they are wrong but their belief system allows them to pursue these untruths for the SAKE of their beliefs. It's sad but it has to be dealt with rationally. Don't fall into their trap. All you will be mounting is an unwinnable Crusade.
