>>I didn't hear them complaining about that, either.
How can they without seeming to claim dominance of their own beliefs? With the churches constrained, Christmas has been claimed by the retailers and there is little to be done about it.
>>when (IF i got the story right) Jesus expelled them from the temple, they did go out. But not far, they're still at the door. And now they're a whole industry.
Yes. The new Churches are called malls, tithing has been replaced by something called a "credit card", "charity" has been replaced by the number of inches on one's plasma screen TV, and everything is fine because the whole process is godless.
(gee this cynicism stuff is fun, isn't it!) ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
