It’s a Christmas tree. If it doesn’t suit your needs, go eat a pork chop.

A Christmas tree is not a religious symbol. It’s a secular symbol of a religious holiday. Of course the end result the liberals want to see is the elimination of Christmas as a government holiday. I am frankly still surprised that the state still observes the afternoon of Good Friday as a state holiday.

That’s all fine and dandy and you are correct, but it is the purpose and point of why Beshear did this that matters. He is trying to avoid that insertion of Christianity into the public. It’s not him saying what you are saying.

Beshear, you politically-correct sellout. How can we as people keep our soul and not worry about pleasing and appealing to a man-made thing such as politics. You mean to tell me that if Beshear is a Christian, that he is willing to abandon his beliefs just to appeal to the world? To be politically-correct?

He obviously doesn’t have any interest in being re-elected.

This is just another nail in his coffin.

Whether he likes it or not this state is in the middle of the Bible Belt. Most citizen’s values are based on a christian faith.

Richie’s handlers are laughing all the way to the ballot box.

Xstateworker is correct in if the general public knew what went on in Frankfort, there would be rioting in the streets.

I understand your point, but it’s not as though the recommendation is to voice displeasure over the Christmas tree at the expense of telling people about Jesus. What is a politically relevant and appropriate area for Christians to hold politicians accountable?

First of all…I’m a Christian (and proud of it) an secondly, I’m a preacher (it’s my calling). Scripturally speaking (and that’s what Christians should care most about), a tree decorated in December has nothing to do with Christ’s birth. It is pagan in origin and yet we adorn our church buildings with them every year. Why not just put an Asherah pole or Baal altar up, it would be just as “christian” as a Christmas tree? Fellow Christians…grow up! Is arguing over what someone calls a tree that has nothing to do with our King and savior how you expect to win non-Christian’s to our message of grace and truth? How about serving them…and loving them…and sharing with them why you believe what you do?

For those who think this is just semantics, keep in mind that for Christians it is a process of being marginalized. With the looming hate crimes legislation that now appear to include thought/intent as determining factors, semantics are a big deal to people of faith. Pastors face their calling with a larger target on their backs just for sharing their opinion if it “offends” anyone else. I agree that what offends us shouldn’t define us yet Fugate’s point is just as legitimate as the supposed offense of non-Christians that began the entire “Christmas” vs. “holiday” discussion.
