Jesus is the reason for the season

This exchange on the O'Reilly Factor really captures the holiday spirit:

Rev. Tim Bumgardner: I think they should put a Nativity scene -- be American! Hey, celebrate Christmas -- people spend more money! Jesus makes people want to spend money!

O'Reilly: I agree. I'm with you.

Me, too, Bill! Just the other day I saw Jesus selling shoes on a street corner and I had to stop and but a pair. And I didn't even need new shoes!

Praise Jesus!

Actually, I would think the idea that "Jesus makes people want to spend money" would be more offensive than a thousand "Happy Holidays." But then I never knew that Jesus was put on earth on order to open our wallets for material purchases. No wonder Adam and Eve weren't noted as shoppers.
