Letter: God should not be ignored on Thanksgiving

Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2003 | 9:01 a.m.

Each day I become more increasingly aware of what a Godless society we are becoming. Apparently it is no longer politically correct to worship any God in any way. I did not think this could ever happen in the United States of America.

I heard many people wishing each other a "Happy Turkey Day" and this appalled me. I had been taught and had come to believe that the last Thursday in November had been dedicated and set aside as "Thanksgiving Day," a day to give thanks to the God that one believes in for the bounties and blessings in our lives. The day was not set aside as "Turkey Day." When people wish me a "Happy Turkey Day" I am very quick to point out that it is "Thanksgiving," not "Turkey Day."

Look at your calendars and see what the caption for this day states. I hope this letter makes people think about it.
