Seasons Greetings

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and Happy Kwanzaa
By: Joseph Walther


Brace yourselves. As seemingly impossible as it is to believe, I am going to keep my comments brief this week.

There are hundreds of millions of people throughout the world celebrating Christmas. Similar numbers believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Add to this the fact that millions of others believe in some other Deity and we conclude that many people believe in some form of Deity. In fact, by about a three to one margin, believers outnumber nonbelievers.

It is Christmas Day. I wish all of you the happiest of times and the fulfillment of your hopes and dreams for the future. It does not matter what form your religious faith takes; nor does it matter if you have no religious belief. It would be a wonderful world we’d all show some genuine respect for one and other’s beliefs.

The world appears to be in a constant state of chaos, not because it is, but because that sort of thing sells newspapers and raises television ratings. I think we could solve many of out human problems if we could find a way to achieve some balance relative to whatever we refer to as “good and bad.”

Have a great holiday season and be careful out there. Next week I’ll get back to concentrating on the chaotic side of things. I might even kick it up a notch or two.
