But cites beliefs of those who are ‘Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, or no faith at all’

Joe Biden, delivering the 2022 Christmas message from the president’s office to America, neglected to mention the reason for the season, Jesus Christ.
Columnist Todd Starnes pointed out Biden’s failing in a commentary.
“That’s right, folks. The president failed to mention the name of Jesus during his address. He gave a shout-out to Muslims and Buddhists, but not the Son of God,” Starnes wrote online.
“He did, however, reference ‘a child Christians believe to be the son of God.”
Starnes then schooled Biden: “Actually, He IS the Son of God, Mr. President. And Jesus is the only reason for the season.”
Biden explained, “The Christmas story is at the heart of the Christmas — Christian faith. But the message of hope, love, peace, and joy, they’re also universal. It speaks to all of us, whether we’re Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, or any other faith, or no faith at all. It speaks to all of us as human beings who are here on this Earth to care for one another, to look out for one another, to love one another.”
He cited the loss of life from the COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in China and spread around the globe, killing millions.
And he condemned that politics “has gotten so angry, so mean, so partisan.” This just weeks after her angrily ranted at MAGA Republicans and warned voters to support them was to support the end of democracy.
In President Trump’s last Christmas message, he mentioned Jesus or God multiple times, and it took him only until the second sentence of his speech to say, “While our gatherings might look different than in years past, this Christmas, like every Christmas, is an opportunity for us to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and show our heartfelt gratitude for the abundant blessings God has bestowed upon our lives and country.”

I wonder if those of the Jewish faith feel that is the “reason for the season”
I think the season is the festival of lights in that respect, no? (It’s not really “Jewish Christmas” don’t ya know)
I thought Biden had a great Christmas Message, it was genuine. Trumps was written by a speech writer and he didn’t even understand what he was reading.
Biden speech was Written by the devil Democrat’s. I thought Joebama believed in God. I guess not corrupt lair he is.
For once I agree with the criminal in chief biden. By neglecting to say jesus in a Xmas address is correct. What we have been BORN INTO BELIEVING IS SOME HOLY DAY IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO TRUTH. that is unless you WORSHIP THE SUN . That’s right,the SUN WITH A {U} NOT AN {O}. WITH SO MUCH INFO AVAILABLE IT’S NOT ACCEPTABLE TO SIMPLY DO WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN BORN INTO. 1ST THESS 5:21 “PROVE ALL THINGS,HOLD ONTO THE GOOD”
Bob Unru, The First Amendment states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof….” Therefore a requirement for any President or any Legislator to speak to Jesus is simply not a Constitutional requirement.
Nobody said it was a Constitutional requirement. It is simply a presentation of a phony Joe Biden. On one hand, he claims to be a Christian; but on the other hand he doesn’t even mention Jesus on Christmas. Biden lives on a reality webbed in lies and confusion. So, his not mentioning Jesus should not come as a surprise.
Nobody said it was a Constitutional requirement.
considering all Biden has NOT done which needed to be done and HAS done everything which should NOT have been done – playing the good Catholic and forgetting the Reason for the Season, i.e., Christ, most likely won’t keep him from getting into Heaven.
