Texas megachurch Pastor John Hagee this week advised atheists who didn’t like Christmas to “leave the country” or “take your Walkman and stuff it into your ears.” In a sermon at his Cornerstone Church, Hagee warned that “Christmas is under attack in America” because government offices were greeting people with “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.”
“To all humanists and atheists listening to this telecast: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will not be in danger in any way if someone says ‘Merry Christmas’ around you.”agee noted that some would argue that “Merry Christmas” was really a Christian prayer.
“Well, yes it is,” he said. “And this is the United States of America that was founded by Christians on Christian principles according to the word of God.” Hagee also had some advice for those atheists who found themselves in proximity of a Nativity scene.
“If you pass a manger scene and someone is singing ‘Joy to the World,’ you can take your Walkman and stuff it into your ears,” the megachurch pastor recommended. “Or you can call your lawyer. Or you can just exercise your right to leave the country.” “Planes are leaving every hour on the hour. Get on one!” Hagee exclaimed. “It’s time for the majority to rule this nation!”

Meanwhile..Pope Francis used the first Christmas address of his papacy on Wednesday to make a broad call for global peace and an end to violence in Syria and parts of Africa, urging atheists and followers of other religions to join together in this common cause....According to Pope Francis, it doesn’t matter whether you are a heterosexual or a homosexual, a pro-lifer or pro-choicer, conservative or liberal or even a communist, because they all worship the same divine God and he loves them all. he 77-year-old Pope continued to say that “God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God
