An Anti-State Christmas

Americans look forward to their second "new normal" Christmas wondering if their governments will allow them to celebrate it. Many Christians might believe it is their duty to suffer in silence, to "turn the other cheek," in exchange for a reward in the next life.Tom Mullen challenges that view with a penetrating look at the Jesus of the New Testament who exhibits anything but silent obedience to government oppression in his time. Rather,He spends much of his public ministry excoriating the vassal Jewish government and its minions for their hypocrisy and sinfulnessHe publicly opposes capital punishment for victimless crimesHe often teaches spiritual lessons using parables in which private property owners and capitalists are the heroesHe refuses to answer questions put to him by Pontius Pilate, the most powerful man in Judea, anticipating the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by almost 1,800 yearsMullen also takes a look at several popular Christmas films and television specials, some radically anti-state and others anti-freedom propaganda.. But how would Jesus handle the "new normal" of government lockdowns and vaccine mandates? How should Americans, Christian and non-Christian alike, respond themselves?. All this and more can be found in this concise look at history's most famous birthday from a perspective the powerful don't want you to know about. At a time when merely celebrating Christmas is a revolutionary act, An Anti-State Christmas makes a great stocking stuffer for all who yearn for freedom.
