    People are better because they are born again spiritually and thus are regenerated/transformed to holiness. The cannibal of Borneo stopped eating each other when they knew Christ. An E person becomes a D person, C person, B person, A person, etc.

    What do you mean generous? Would you give your toddler a knife or candy whenever asked? Not doing your kids' homework does not mean not agape-loving them, but may mean that you want them to mature.

    Agape-love builds up versus just doing what we like to do.

    Christians have many special days and every day is special. We build peace and prosperity in the world, and we are grateful for them that God blesses us and the world.

    The benefits of Christianity can be seen clearly when we are comparing society. Hitler became atrocious as he rejected Christi and followed atheist Master Race Darwinian Evolutionism. 20th century atheist China, Russia, Khmer Rouge were atrocious and horrible. Now that Christianity grows in China, peace and prosperity ensues. Christian work ethics/morality brings peace and prosperity. You prefer to live in a Christianized nation than atheistic nation right North Korea, don't you?

    Look at these Christians:

    Pastor Harvard University.

    The Father of Genetics science Mendel.

    The Red Cross whence the Red Crescent ensued.

    YMCA

    YWCA

    Water Mission International

    Christians Newton, Pasteur, Lister.

    etc

    etc

    NONE of the Christmas traditions are commanded by our Savior; and if that is the only time of year we love our fellow man, we have a real problem! He is not a baby in a manger now! In the Bible, true men of the Almighty were not interested in celebrating birthdays! In the last book of the Bible, people of the world send each other gifts after the killing of His two prophets, and there is only one time of year that most people tend to give/sent presents. Churches like to hang wreaths on their doors, and wreathes are an ancient, pagan fertility symbol! Jesus never said “get saved”! His teachings were repent, trust, and follow Him! We have many traditions that churches have been added to the Word; the pure mixed with the profane is polluted as is water mixed with sewage! If a word or teaching is not found in scripture, they are of the world; and Satan is the god of this world.

    Churches deny God by their teachings! Churches replace our God’s Word with fall festivals, Christmas observances , Easter celebrations, Sunrise services, tall steeples, entertainment, fancy churches, sound systems, elevated preacher platforms, reserved chairs, fellowship halls, programs, rapture teachings, tithing, pagan symbols, homecoming vanities, etc. With the exception of Easter and tithing, these and their other ideas are not even found in the Bible, much less commanded of His people! Easter is mentioned once and it is “Pascha” in the Greek which goes to Pecach in the Hebrew- Passover! Remember Our Savior, the sacrificial Passover lamb! Most churches that teach tithing say God’s law has been done away with, and tithing is part of that law! There is no basis for tithing in their new testament theology!

    It isn't just Christians that have a "special time of the year." Have you forgotten about Hanukkah, Quanza, Chinese New Year, Ramadan, and all the other "special times" that cultures and religions have throughout the world, throughout the year.
