On the Advent of the Holiday Sales Police

While most free and faithful Christians are trying to celebrate this season of Advent, Liberty Counsel has posted a list of "Naughty" and "Nice" retailers. The list differentiates retailers according to how they greet customers over the holiday season and whether their advertising is focused on Christian customers.

The greetings and advertisements of American retailers have nothing to do with Christ, Christmas or the Advent season.

If they truly want to share in the Spirit of the season, the people at Liberty Counsel need to spend more time reading their Bibles and less time shopping and thumbing through advertisements.

I agree totally. Some of my acquaintances get all worked up because a store advertises Holiday Specials or the employees say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.

I think that Christmas is way overblown anyway. Halloween is a much better holiday for a number of reasons.

Corporations can't go to heaven, can they? Or hell?

I just wonder what exactly makes not mentioning Christmas naughty?

Never mind corporations striving to be politically correct - their policies are most likely to be taking no position, which would be in their best interest commercially. But to the "Liberty" counsel - I think type of nonsense is rather Taliban-esque. In the context of their list, I'm not quite sure what "Liberty" they purport to be "Counseling."
