Over the history of mankind we have seen many cultures come and go. The Mayan, Aztec, and Inca cultures were very powerful in their day. Each one had thousands of members in a less populated world, a distinct way of life, and strong spiritual beliefs. Today there cultures are kept alive through guesswork by a few curious buffs.

Are we now witnessing the beginning of the end of the Christian culture?

The question is most poignant at this time of year as we see the word "Christmas" replaced with the word "holiday" over and over. We're not talking about the greeting "Happy Holidays". This never was a Christian greeting -- it was simply a shortened "Merry Christmas and happy New Year".

Nor are we talking about "holiday" or "year-end" parties replacing "Christmas" parties. These have been renamed primarily in the business community to be inclusive across a multicultural workforce.
