Lets Remember Jeffrey Amherst On Thanksgiving

Fletch XXX · 11-27-2003

''In 1789...the Protestant Episcopal Church in America announced the first Thursday in November as a regular annual day for giving thanks.'3

'It was not until 1888 however, that the Roman Catholic Church formally recognized the day.'4

Throughout the country, 'but especially in New England, where the custom originated, the day is looked upon with great reverence.'5 (This sounds like a holy day, or a day set apart, to me. This is what happens on Christmas and Easter.)

'Thanksgiving Day in Canada. The Dominion too, has an annual Thanksgiving Day, which is celebrated in much the same way, with family reunions and religious services.'6 (Note well: 'religious services.')

How can this be a religious day? Where does God tell us to celebrate it?'

kill native americans, then steal the ancient harvest holiday to make people go to church.

how pathetic.
