      <![CDATA[His [Eisenhower]mother, previously a member (with David) of the River Brethren sect of the Mennonites, joined the International Bible Students Association, which later became Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower home served as the local meeting hall from 1896 to 1915, though Eisenhower never joined the International Bible Students. His later decision to attend West Point saddened his mother, who felt that warfare was "rather wicked," but she did not overrule him. While speaking of himself in 1948, Eisenhower said he was "one of the most deeply religious men I know" though unattached to any "sect or organization". He was baptized in the Presbyterian Church in 1953.<br>

      <![CDATA[Thanks, Outlier, for the posts.  They help put the Dustin/Andie and Asa/NRA crap into proper perspective, and remind us of what really is important in the world--helping people, a concept that is completely foreign to the Republican mind set.<br>
<br>
I want to wish everyone, including Republicans, a Merry Christmas, and a successful and prosperous New Year.

      <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-cap-christmas-20121224,0,1245176.column" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-ca&hellip;</a><br>
<br>
The link is to L.A. Times columnist George Skelton. It is a paean to his late wife who was a Christmas-loving atheist even though he is a believer. Love can transcend that difference.<br>
<br>
I share her love of the Christmas season. Whether you think the Christmas story is myth or fact, it really is the best story in the Bible in my opinion. Imagine! A baby born to bring peace and goodwill. To help us stop our warring madness. To light the way out of the winter darkness of our souls. It's not his fault that we have failed to heed that message.  <br>
<br>
Here is my Christmas gift to all of you again. It is Hayden's Christmas gift to me from a few years back with a video montage of things she loves and cares about.<br>
