Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, fellow heathens!
I got a little PM on Facebook from a young friend abroad who wished me “Marry Christmas.”
Also, my grandfather found my novel on Amazon and plans to buy and read it. He doesn’t know it’s a firmly atheist novel. My grandfather’s father was a minister. He also doesn’t know that I’m an atheist. This could get complicated.
What I learn about our enemy:-He is ancient/old and is very experienced at doing his job: that is, harming us. Hes serious about it hurting us is not some cartoon thing.-Hes powerful and effective at his task (I had a hard time using the phrase good at what he does because Satan is un-good. But there might be a better word than effective, too. The translator on the blog I posted used the word cunning).-He hates us, and no power on earth is as powerful as Satan.

Merry Christmas,
As an avowed atheist this really struck me. Kinda made me choke up a bit.

Two thumbs up. This is my favorite Xmas song. Actually, it’s pretty much the only one I like.
