[edit] Before I get any more red rep for this, this site is the best ***pisstake*** of Commercial Christianity (ultra-conservative American style) on the web and should NOT be taken seriously. There is some very funny stuff there once you understand where they are coming from.

Decent roads? 200 km long straights, every bend comes as such a surprise that you fall off your Harley.

Several US 'megachurches' are not going to have Christmas Day services.
One. with a weekly attendance of 22,000 people, has said that they expect attendance to be low on Christmas day and have advised their flock to stay home.
I wonder if the pastors have shares in Walmart?

Not much surprises me with American Christianity. They are more interesed in Mammon than man. Their idea of being a succesfull christian is how much money they give to the church. If you do not 'tith' you are not a true christian. If any of them get caught with their fingers in the till or under some little girls bedsheet they trump out the old excuse 'the devil tempted me' and their followers shout hallauja in unison and support. The concept of self responsibility regarding morals, is as unknown to them as an amoeba is aware of world at large, but when it comes self responsibility of others, these so called christians, are the first to lay blame on those less fianancialy fortunate than themselves.

Compassion and humility are replaced with fire and brimstone and anyone who shows a smidgen of independence is ostracised and cast out as if they are a lepar.

The bible is believed to be the literal word of God, not withstanding that it has been translated so many times that if it once was the literal word of God Christs teachings have been all but forgotten i.e Goodwill to all men. Just one of the teachings of Christ that the Christmas tradition expounds on.
