Rethinking Kwanzaa

Sometimes God allows you to learn information that you can't ignore but you wish you could. I had one of those mornings. I was listening to James White's Tuesday's webcast (link here) and in the beginning he was discussing information about the origins of Kwanzaa - stuff I didn't know and had not considered. I've heard the cleaned up version of the story but not the information Dr White was bringing up. Dr White got the information from Pastor Eric Redmond's blog A Man from Issachar at the following link: Repost: (Against) Kwanzaa Resource: Sharing the Gospel With Your Kwanzaa Celebrating Friend. The post calls attention to the work by Carlotta Morrow’s research and book Kwanzaa: Cultural or Cultic. Her book traces the origins of Kwanzaa and points out just how incompatible it is with Christianity. Just the little bit I have heard and read so far, has made me have to rethink celebrating this holiday more and more.I've purchased the book and I am planning a more comprehensive review but for now just visiting her blog will give you much to consider. Read it at this link. Kwanzaa: Cultural or Cultic?

Faceplant of the Day: The Christian Faith Makes a Person Stupid | Debunking Christianity

John Loftus posted the following quote and comment recently.

How many people have claimed to have finally debunked God? Way too many, This has been going on for centuries and someone is always popping up claiming to “Finally debunk God. If God wasn’t real then why did it take over 2000 years to “Finally Debunk” Christianity? I call this “The Finally Debunk Crew” Link

The reason dimwit, is because Christianity is like a chameleon, ever changing in response to its culture, our criticisms, and science. The Christianities of yesteryear have been debunked. That’s why you hold to the one you do today. And your type of Christianity will be replaced slowly into the future as well.

I have often read Loftus and others make this point but I've never actually seen any evidence that this is true. In fact none of these atheistic attempts to prove Christianity wrong has ever succeeded. None of their arguments are new nor persuasive. It's just one failure after another. I mean really think about it...does anyone really think that it took 2000 yrs for someone smart enough to come along and show that Christianity is wrong? Or do they really expect us to think that they've managed to raise an objection that not only has not been raised before and (on top of that) no one has ever answered them? It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic.
