News, Going to Church on Christmas: A Vanishing Tradition.
Millions of Americans go to church on Christmas Eve. They crowd shoulder-to-shoulder in pews to sing "Silent Night" and light candles and listen to soloists belt out "O Holy Night." More than a few watch nativity plays that recreate the birth of Jesus with a cast of 10-year-olds in bathrobes.

Church is very boring. Christianity is also on its way out. Within the next decade Christianity will become more and more obsolete.

No, it will not.
I went to Church on both Christmas Eve and Christmas. Both were beautiful, I actually preferred the mass on the Eve though because we had a choir of children and they were pretty good. A lot more people showed up for the Christmas Eve mass.

Depending on the church, it can be far from boring. Also, Christianity is far from becoming obsolete. It is just changing is all. |

...I'm sorry for you...you don't know Christ...you have no hope in your heart...but Christ did come, for you, and Christ did die on a cross, for you, and Christ is alive and ascended into heaven and has sent His Holy Spirit to us who believe in Him...called "Christians"...and as long as there is a God in heaven, Christ will be there next to Him, we'll have the Holy Spirit guiding us in all truth and power, and Christianity will be alive and well...God help this earth in the absence of the Spirit of The Living God...thank you precious Jesus..........I love you Lord! .......and I love going to church...especially on Christmas Eve. |
