Happy Birthday Jesus....

This song reduces The God of the Universe, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Alpha and Omega, the Great I Am to somewhere between toddler and eleven years old. Not only do I find it demeaning and condescending, and it smacks of something a over-churched PTA Mom might think up during scrapbooking just for the sake of garnering the attention. Just my two cents on that one.

Let me know if I missed one you think needs to go up. You may also tell me why I'm wrong, but I reserve the right to post a silly cat pic in retaliation.
