QuestionForYou,
A simple question: You call Thanksgiving a religious holiday because Washington and Lincoln decided to mention God in the proclamations. This, according to your reasoning, makes it a religious holiday and therefore forbidden to celebrate. (Please correct me if I’m wrong in my assessment of your position.)
That being said, do you refrain from handling United States currency because it says “In God We Trust.” Perhaps the money should be forbidden as idolatrous objects?
Why does the mention of God in the Thanksgiving proclamations make Thanksgiving idolatrous in nature, but the mention of “In God We Trust” on the money does not make it idolatrous in nature?
