Drew Draws Truth

[The link and original transcript for the following story was sent by T. Parker. This version of the transcript was prepared by Brian Hoeck]

Drew Carey, unconventional Hollywood comedic star, was seen May 4th at the White House Correspondents' Annual Association dinner.  The event gathered President George Bush and guests from every corner of Hollywood, media and government. Whether knowingly or inadvertently (we do not know) Drew testified some truth to the full house at the Washington Hilton International Ballroom :
   "I can't watch the news lately. I know everybody, you know---I recognize alot of people who watch the news. It gets so depressing.  I mean, I just get depressed watching the news. You know what I do when I watch the news now? I turn the news off. I get out my bible. I turn to the book of Revelation and I start just checking stuff off. You know? Got it, got it, need it, got it, got it, need it. Red Dragon, seven horns, ten crowns--got it. Ozzy Osborne: American's favorite t.v. dad--got it.  Oh man. 20 millions dollars, huh?  You know that is barely gonna pay for your kids' therapy. I don't know why---that money's gonna be down the drain."

   "Yeah, I read the bible a lot, you know---this is crazy---we celebrate holidays in the United States.  I found out just recently there are so many religious holidays we celebrate here in this country that have nothing to do with the bible at all.  Real famous holidays, like Christmas---Christmas has nothing---it's not in the Bible. The birth of Jesus is in the Bible, but not Christmas.  The tree's not in the Bible, you know, gifts---that's not---there's nowhere that says, 'Celebrate My birthday, says Jesus.'  It's just we---it's a pagan holiday that the Romans invented that we just do!  But everywhere you go, I'm telling you, I've seen this so many times, you see a big nativity scene and there's baby Jesus, the manger, sheep, shepherds, wisemen, Mary, Joseph--Santa Claus right in the middle.  Like, who's that? Mary's Lamaze coach??  Santa Claus has nothing to do with anything.  Neither does the Easter Bunny---Easter is another pagan holiday that's not in the Bible.  Every Easter you don't hear anything about Jesus on the cross.  All you hear is about the Easter bunny. The Easter bunny this, the Easter bunny that.  Why is the Christian religion the only one in the world that needs a mascot to sell their stuff?  You don't see Jewish people out celebrating with the Passover kangaroo!  There's no Ramadan rooster!"

   "Halloween's another big holiday---Satanic holiday---nobody's bothered by that for some reason.  You know, fun for the kiddies!!  I mean, when I was going to church they always told me, you know,  Satan's the most evil one - he's the one you must watch out for. Watch out for Satan. And then, once per year the whole country says, 'Hey, let's party with this guy!'  It's ridiculous!!!"   There's a Catholic Church down my street that used to have Halloween parties every year. Of course they don't have them anymore because they don't want the priests to hand out candies to kids." ~ (Drew Carey, White House Correspondents' Association Annual Dinner in Washington D.C. Saturday May 4, 2002)

Ezekiel 22:26  Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

The answer to your Christmas problem is the "doctrine of origins".  There is nothing in the Bible that says it is a sin IF IT IS NOT IN THE BIBLE.


The first part of Jeremiah 10 sure sounds like a Christmas tree.  Later
verses could show that it is some kind of a carved object, an image.  I
realize this.

But why is it that we observe things that are not in the Bible and do not
observe the things that are in the Bible?
