Once again, adherents of the many Christian sects around the world will welcome the commemoration of the birth of Jesus and celebrate his life and teachings. Love one another, including the least among us is probably a good capsule summary of the gospels and yet most professed Christians fail even that test.
Meanwhile, perhaps the most glaring example of how perverted Christ's message has become in the 21st century, Donald J. tRump, illustrated how not to honor the savior's legacy. By pardoning murderers, crooks, thieves and liars, many of whom committed the crimes in service to tRump, he made fools of those who beleived in him. It seems no crime, including the murders of innocent men, women and even children is beneath the pardon power.
Those of us who have managed to survive the past 4 years will look back on this era as perhaps the blackest in our history. However, for at least the next 24 hours I will wish for peace on earth among men of good will. Merry Christmas!
