The clergy should keep their beaky noses out of our Yuletide celebrations

Clearly, the church has rained on my opponent's parade, but his appeals to emotion cannot dissuade even the most blasphemous heathen from appreciating the obvious necessity of spiritual intervention in the matter of Yuletide celebrations. Try as he might to discredit the clergy via ad hominem allegories, we cannot escape the absolute urgency required of the church in these evil days. Yuletide cheer must be eradicated. My opponent's lack of understanding forces him to call our actions oppressive, when they are actually the height of altruism. The church happens to know what's better for people, and much like Obama's political ideologies, our job is to save people from themselves! Therefore, I stand firm that the church is slacking in its job. Contrary to the resolution at hand, the church must inject itself more deeply into Yuletide affairs. I will now put my opponent's photographs into context: * (. http://img.photobucket.com...) - My opponent would have you unmistakeably believe that money spent on kids' gifts would be used instead to enable alcoholism in the clergy. This couldn't be further from the truth. Clearly, this priest is blessing the alcohol for use in an anointing. Any consumption following the blessing was done in an effort to avoid being wasteful. Priests are known to have a much higher tolerance for alcohol given the increased purity of their soul. * (. http://unfittoys.files.wordpress.com...) - Ha! My clever opponent thinks he can appeal to emotion in this matter by showing you a photograph of what is clearly a child suffering from migraines! * (. http://mcbush3.files.wordpress.com...) - This photo is clearly a fallacy on Pro's part since Christmas Crosses -- like their former conifer counterpart -- are meant for indoors. The fire would obviously not be an allowing form of decoration given the violation of fire marshal codes. Garland, ornaments, and twinkle lights are preferred. For the record, the man in the robes is clearly confused, showing up to a holiday celebration in his Halloween costume. * (. http://www.flyingchariotministries.com...) - My opponent appeals to emotion once again, having you gasp in shock at an photo associating the church with Nazi agenda when this photo is shows nothing more than two Catholic double-agents. As anyone can see, the church leader on the left is not even good a faking a Nazi scowl. * (. http://curiouslypersistent.files.wordpress.com...)(http://www.visit4info.com...)(http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk...) - How the church chooses to raise awareness of the brilliance of the three wise men is up to them. The point is not in how we do it but that we do it. Eternal damnation is at stake here! * (. http://farm1.static.flickr.com...) - This is actually a perfect demonstration of the kind of respond the church must employ. If a child can be spanked into obedience, then so can an adult be kicked into it. * (. http://plus.maths.org...) - The feast presented in my opponent's photo is befitting of the most pious of congregants. If only all of mankind could engage in such a feast; then perhaps world hunger could be averted even if just for the holidays! My opponent ends his final round with pictures of Christians offering very generic advice, none of which necessarily attacks fun and frivolity. We're just saying, "Hey, be careful. " It's like saying, "Go ahead and bungee jump, just take care to check the cord length before you launch. " What harm is there in this? In the final analysis, my opponent thinks the church should let the Holidays be. I submit that the church's very job is to evangelize to the masses, and hijacking the holidays is a reasonable way to do so. My opponent wants to have fun today, and we're merely asking him and the rest of the heathen world to wait until they're dead. Is it really so much to ask? So, dear readers, do the right thing. Vote Con. And send the message to all conservative would-be vote bombers to read this debate today!
