It's a shame that Target is opening its doors late Thanksgiving Eve. It's also a shame that Kmart keeps its doors open Christmas Eve till close to Christmas morning. It will be an absolute shame if in the near future retail stores are open Christmas day. But mark my words ... the day is just around the corner!
It’s time for those of us who work in retail to draw the line! Just because corporations are greedy and those who feed into their greed care less about those of us who want to be home and observe this holy night and day with our friends, partners and families, does not give companies the right to take this one holiday away to save their bottom lines.
Easter is already a forgotten observance. Christmas Eve is almost a lost observance. Christmas Day is certainly on the horizon! Enough is enough! Surrendering my faith to corporate greed is a betrayal to the foundations of what I hold dear … the birth of my Savior which is the foundation of my faith.
Christmas is a religious holiday on which, I for one, will never surrender to laboring on that day. No matter how much over-time or time-n-half pay may be offered, in my opinion, God comes first! It’s time to save Christmas, including Easter, from those who seek to turn it into an insignificant and irrelevant day.
How feel you?

Atheists In Military Demanding Their Own Chaplains
Atheists and humanists serving in the U.S. military are leading an organized push to have their own chaplains, or something akin to chaplains, and contend they are being left out when their ranks outnumber enlistees of religions that have smaller demographics.
While retired Army Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis can see a case for accommodation if the numbers and organization justify it, he believes there could be problems with a humanist chaplain that does not believe in life after death.

“A chaplain is providing encouragement to those who believe in the hereafter, primarily in the U.S. military to Christians,” Maginnis, a senior fellow for national security with the Family Research Council, told CNSNews.com. “If you get someone who says, ‘Sorry, if you get killed, you’re just going to become a potted plant. There’s no hereafter,’ that would not be terribly motivating, especially to a military that goes to war.” -Vision To America
If Atheists don’t believe in God then why would they want to be considered a religion and request to have their own Chaplin? The military should deny their request. If you don’t believe in God then there’s no reason to have a Chaplin since God wouldn’t be the focus of their worship, or am I missing something?
