We do not make jokes, we simply watch the LA Times, the Orange County Register and CID/HOA board of directors and report the facts!

 

Gott ist tot, Muhammed never existed, Happy Holidays!

God is dead (Gott ist tot),  is a widely-quoted statement by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, first appearing  in The Gay Science (Die fröhliche Wissenschaft).  In The Madman, Nietzsche’s asks what can we do for atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

In the article titled Lawmaker protests censorship of 'God', published by the Associated Press, October 4, 2007, Jim Abrams reports that as a result of Speaker of the House Pelosi’s decision to censor God, Republican Rep. Michael Turner is taking exception to the systematic secularization of policies associated with flag certificates

On the other hand, "This is a proud moment for the Postal Service, the Muslim community, and Americans in general as we issue a postage stamp to honor and commemorate two important Islamic celebrations," said Azeezaly S. Jaffer, Vice President, Public Affairs and Communications for the Postal Service, in a press release issued by the US Post Office announcing Stamp Release No. 01-054 - The Press release notes that "the Eid stamp commemorates the two most important festivals—or eids—in the Islamic calendar: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. On these days, Muslims wish each other "Eid mubarak," the phrase featured in Islamic calligraphy on the stamp. "Eid mubarak" translates literally as "blessed festival," and can be paraphrased as "May your religious holiday be blessed."

In recent past, Sears, Kmart, and Kohl's have decided not use the term "Merry Christmas" in their advertising, whereas Wal-Mart has said "Happy Holidays" is sufficient, so does Costco.


Some argue that the new Presidential dollars’ obscuring of the motto "In God We Trust" demonstrates a plot to "phase God out of America.   As “specified by  Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, the national motto was relocated, along with other common design features, to the edge of the new coins in order to allow for larger and more dramatic artwork on the coins' faces”

Muhammad Sven Kalish -  a Muslim convert drawn to Islam because it seamed a rational faith - and Germany’s first professor of Islamic theology, was widely seen as proof that modern Western scholarship and Islamic ways can coexist to counter the radical preachers in Germany.  Professo Kalish said he subjected his Islamic studies research “to the same scrutiny  as Christianity and Judaism”.  Professor Kalish research led him to conclude that Muhammed never existed, and he has expressed similar doubts with respect to the Quran,

Just last week, the Rancho Santa Margarita City Council members voted 4-1 in favor of permanently displaying the national motto “In God We Trust” in the Council Chamber.  Council members James Thor, Jerry Holloway, Mayor Neil Blais and Mayor Pro Tempore Gary Thompson voted in support of the display. Council Member Tony Beall voted against.

It should be noted that Rancho Santa Margarita is not blazing any trails.  Consider that in 2002, the Bakersfield City Council voted to display the words in its City Hall and various other Orange County communities have approved the display of the motto in their council chambers including Cypress, Huntington Beach, Los Alamitos, Mission Viejo, Tustin,  Westminster and Villa Park
