I went to go see Glenn Beck last night with my dad and step-mom. I have been writing this all day, so this is why it has taken so long to put out there.
Anyway, this is Glenn Beck's Christmas Tour. The main focus was on The Meaning of Christmas and what he thinks about each of the aspects of the holiday. He does take jabs at Democrats because most of his fans are consertives, but over-all this is a no non-sense and anti-PC (while he has nothing against other religions having holidays this time of year, rages against PC punks trying to push Christmas from public view altogether) look at Christmas. He also had a full array of stroies about his family, both comedical and heart-touching. "But Gator, you are an Atheist! Why do you care?" Well, I celebrate Christmas (I can just imagin Ellen Johnson having an heart-attack right now) too. If you want to celerbrate whatever your religion's holiday might be, I personally have no problem with what you do. I just agree you shouldn't spoil other people's religious holiday. The rest of my family are Christains and I just want to enjoy the time together without rocking the boat, because it wouldn't be fair to them. I also enjoy it, so what is the harm? Basicly Glenn Beck goes on about how things like presents and shopping commercializing the holiday. Even through he agrees that the magic and innocence of children are a big part of the holiday, it is not the true meaning of Christmas. While family and even freshly baked surger cookies are part of the holiday, they are also not part of the meaning of Christmas. He even says that the birth of Jesus is not the true meaning of Christmas, if not told the true meaning of the holiday: Redemption. Without redemption, the story of Jesus is meaningless. Christmas, Glenn Beck says, should be about redeming yourself and offering redemption to others (even if you don't agree with them). Now I'm not about to convert to Christianity. Glenn Beck also made this out better than I can. However I like how Glenn Beck thinks and I would like to dwell on what he said. Well, see ya' later!
