This latest addition to the War on Christmas is brought to you by the heathens... literally.
One of my more conservative pagan friends was posting a supposed quote by Ben Stein. At first, I found myself enjoying the quote, mostly agreeing with it, and finding Ben Stein to have a nice, moderate approach that I would expect from him. Then things got weird...
I couldn't understand why Ben Stein, an intellectual and a very Jewish man, was going on a Christian Conservative rant. Yeah, that got my suspicions raised, but luckily this was a lot easier to debunk than the last post. Snopes popped up almost immediately with this beautiful gem:
Snopes: Confessions for the Holidays
Everyone can now sleep well knowing that Ben Stein hasn't turned into a Christian Conservative politico hellbent on bringing back God to our schools and corporal punishment to our homes.
Also, THERE IS NO WAR ON CHRISTMAS.
