Thanksgiving

[del]

What was this holiday created for?

it is an American holiday...


first to give thanks the indians help keeping the pilgrims alive and living through the winter...

then to be thankful we one the war of independence...

And then to more or less remember all those who suffered and died in the civil war.

I think you need to read pages two and three from your link.
OH and who were the founders thanking for winning the war of Independence?

the french, and rightfully so.

During the American Revolution, the Continental Congress designated one or more days of thanksgiving a year, and in 1789 George Washington issued the first Thanksgiving proclamation by the national government of the United States; in it, he called upon Americans to express their gratitude for the happy conclusion to the country’s war of independence and the successful ratification of the U.S. Constitution. His successors John Adams and James Madison also designated days of thanks during their presidencies.

Do you know what is in that Thanksgiving proclamation
Signed by Washington on October 3, 1789 and entitled "General Thanksgiving," the decree appointed the day "to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God."

Amazing how they always leave out the the part that it was to thank the indians for saving their pilgram asses. They are still trying to kill the pagans and harvest festivals

then again... i bet they were trying to convert the indians into christians...... does that count?

Why reap the benefits for a day that was created to give thanks to God?

Even if they did, that would automatically make it a Christian Holiday? Ever been to a bar? There are christians there. Is it a Christian bar?

I'm not sure dictating who or what to be thankful for is part of the message. Me, it's the parade

[TNHarley]

It was signed as a national holiday to thank the "Almighty God". The first thanksgiving was between the indians and the pilgrims, when they finally started getting along or some shit like that. It is in the "holiday season" because of god. My point is ACTUAL Thanksgiving was not about god. The prez made it that way seems to me

No it just says God

How ever there is another prayer the 1st congressional prayer that does mention Christianity and giving guidance to the government.

No one talks to del, like his alter-ego Mr. Shaman, del just interjects his stupidity in hopes of derailing the thread.

del is a troll, nothing more.
