I am beginning to think I do not speak the same language as most other people do ! Have you never heard Christians say that there is good in the Christmas story because it makes people think about Jesus ? I have. I really doubt that a ball game would make anyone think about Jesus ????
Maybe my generation thinks differantly than yours does ?

I will try to explain....I have been told that it is wrong to try to take Christ out of Christmas, because Christmas is a way to get people to think about Christ. Well...the only way they may think of Him, is as an infant in a manger ! I really doubt if that would cause anyone to become a believer.

Easter is more likely to, if it is about Christ's sacrifice on the cross, and His resurrection, and not about Easter Eggs and Bunny Rabbits ! Now don't get me wrong ! I am not a fan of Easter either. The word was a mistranslation in the KJV anyway. It should have been Passover.
Naturally, any Christian knows we observe His death and resurrection every first day of the week.
