Religious Christmas Sayings

#1. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as is this truth of the Incarnation.

J.I. Packer

#2. Xmas Trivia: Before it became a major shopping holiday, Christmas is believed to have had a "religious" meaning.

Andy Borowitz

#3. Since life consists of madness spiked with lies, the farther you are from each other the more lies you can put into it and the happier you'll be. That's only natural and normal. Truth is inedible.

Louis-Ferdinand Celine

#4. And when I say it, they get alarmed ...
'Cause I'm louder than a bomb.

Chuck D

#5. I am always amazed by the novel angles that people come up with for kids' Christmas books. Even if a family is not religious, who could resist, say, "Olive, the Other Reindeer," about Olive the dog who thinks the song refers to her and heads for the North Pole to help Santa out?

Jabari Asim

#6. The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is. I don't believe in 'super-men,' for the world is full of capable men, but it's the fellow with determination that wins out.

Charles M. Schwab

#7. I love Christmas! I'm not religious, but I love the trappings of the season. I love the decorations, and the music, and Santa, and the festive food, and the cinnamon- and vanilla-infused aromas.

Jane Cleland

#8. History is moving, and it will tend toward hope, or tend toward tragedy.

George W. Bush

#9. The true celebration of Christmas is when we ponder afresh the grace of God who became human, entered history through a virgin's womb, and brought redemption to the world.

David Jeremiah

#10. The Christmas spirit is not what you drink.

Jethro Tull

#11. The day people around me stop questioning my character is the day my character begins to grow vulnerable.

John Ortberg

#12. I never lie because I don't fear anyone. You only lie when you're afraid.

John Gotti

#13. It is wonderful ... Steve and Dan took professional football to a whole different level with the way they played the game. The fact that Steve is going in with Dan is very special.

Frank Gifford

#14. This notion that's peddled by the religious right - that they are oppressed is not true. Sometimes it's a cynical ploy to move their agenda ahead. The classic example being that somehow secularists are trying to eliminate Christmas, which strikes me as some kind of manufactured controversy.

Barack Obama

#15. Religious symbols should be visible in public space, in a dignified and non-provocative manner. Christmas trees here, Jewish menorahs there and, further along, a minaret - these symbols represent human life in all its diversity.

Tariq Ramadan

#16. The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.

Jay Leno

#17. Can a person steal happiness? Or is just another internal, infernal human trick?

Markus Zusak

#18. When people look at a photograph, they believe it ... My photographs crawl along that edge. I document the world, but from my own biased point of view.

Zoe Leonard

#19. Where's Barack Obama when Christmas references are being erased from civic calendars? Is he crying out in defense of religious liberty and our First Amendment? Nope. He's as silent as a church mouse. And animosity toward religion continues to grow.

Chuck Norris

#20. Christmas is a story that has both religious and pagan origins, and to ignore its power is to ignore the power of myth - those symbols and legends that help us to ground our lives.

Jay Parini

#21. Success is in the trying, not the triumph.

Andy Behrens

#22. Most Christmas carols have no obvious religious content, or at least that's noticeable to most people. I mean, it is almost by definition, a cultural phenomenon, all these songs, even though they point to this very religious holiday. They're not religious songs in effect anymore.

Howard Dean

#23. Speaking from my own religious tradition in this Christmas season, 2,000 years ago a homeless woman gave birth to a homeless child in a manger because the inn was full.

Al Gore

#24. Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal.

Lenore Hershey

#25. You can't think yourself out of a box that's made of your thoughts.

Krishna Das

#26. Merry Christmas to all. A Pagan holiday (BC) becomes a Religious holiday (AD). Which then becomes a Shopping holiday (USA).

Neil DeGrasse Tyson

#27. Christmas is joy, religious joy, an inner joy of light and peace.

Pope Francis

#28. Songs that aren't even remotely connected to Christmas are now officially canonized Christmas tunes. 'Frosty the Snowman,' 'Jingle Bells' and 'Winter Wonderland' never mention anything religious but are still notches in Christmas' belt of musical dominance.

Matisyahu

#29. Christmas is a season which almost all Christians observe in one way or another. Some keep it as a religious season. Some keep it as a holiday. But all over the world, wherever there are Christians, in one way or another Christmas is kept.

J.C. Ryle

#30. Merry Christmas!

Pope John Paul II

#31. I wanted to have more songs with religious backgrounds. The Christmas record has strong, traditional hymns, but it also has a song called 'Christmas in Heaven' about missing someone that you love that's passed on, and wondering what's going on up there on Christmas.

Scotty McCreery

#32. Once again, we come to the holiday season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.

Dave Barry
