    Commercial Christians

    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?

    Walmart, the largest retail chain in the US.
    Will make mega-billions over Xmas. Unless, God forbid, they close.

    And they have recently signed a contract with The Wharehouse for certain brands of clothing and I think bicycles aswell.

    And Walmart is always closed on christmas. Thanksgiving and new years aswell.

    Christmas is just a re-branding of the pagan mid-winter feast, which is what I'll be celebrating. Holly? Ivy? Christmas Trees? Yule logs? Nothing in the least bit Christian there....sue the b'stards for nicking it I say!
