Every Christmas now for years I have found myself wondering about the point of the celebration. As the holiday has become more ecumenical and secular it has lost much of the magic that I remember so fondly from childhood.

I actually share her view and understand her frustration when any government attempts to ban secular symbols like Santa Claus or Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer or Christmas lights.

It's surprising to me how many of my friends send Christmas cards or holiday cards including my atheist and secular friends.

The secular elites are so terrified of telling the truth about radical Islam. When you talk about the radical Islamists we have got to get straight and get serious and talk about it in the right way.

The truth is the secular world isn't too enamored with Jesus. And they're not too enamored with someone who is leading people to Jesus. So if you're out there talking about people's sins and you're talking about righteousness you will get pushback. Jesus Himself did. The apostles did. I mean there's persecution all up and down the line.

I sometimes think that Thomas Cook should be numbered among the secular saints. He took travel from the privileged and gave it to the people.

It was a secular cathedral dedicated to the rites of travel.

The public school has become the established church of secular society.

Yes all fundamentalists feel that in a secular society God has been relegated to the margin to the periphery and they are all in different ways seeking to drag him out of that peripheral position back to center stage.

Half of the secular unrest and dismal profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain ideas that every man is bound to be a critic for life.
