The trolling of Christmas and the fairy ale of Jesus Christ was successfully accomplished by one Mr Neil De Grasse Tyson the other day as he tweeted the importance of this date for one sir Isaac Newton. Issac Newton really did accomplish something and was a real person as opposed to the fore mentioned individual whose existence is about as proven as Santa Clause the man who stole his birthday holiday. 
Neil's important tweet was Re tweeted twenty thousand times need caused much uproar through the media and through social media channels. Religious conservatives have long held this man in contempt for questing silly Religious dogma and explaining the necessity of factual based discussions on the formation of the universe not some old book created in n era when 97 percent of the population was illiterate and all the information about the world was faulty. Tyson seemed surprise to the amount of sharing and reactions to his twitter tweet. Perhaps he failed to realized this is not a easy time in the Obama era for Christians in this country. They see their numbers dropping in the Western world and whose only growth in numbers is in Africa. Christians in Africa are still in a savage state where they basically use their new religion as some excuse to plunder their Islamic and pagan neighbors in orgies of blood in many pars of Central Africa. They see a resurgent Islam in the Middle East that clearly is a result of years of Christian colonialism and much evangelizing attempts that Christians have tried through their charities and ability to keep the region poor with corrupt dictators backed by the Christian West. They see a new Pope from South America who really is concerns about things like social justice and equality and a world less willing to let Christians maintain their tolerance and bigotry to be hidden under their religious banner.
All this and given that many Christians are starting to wonder why they are as despised as traditionally they have despised others is making many unsettled. Any attacks on their precious holiday makes them edgy and upset as they no longer have the control to torture dissenters and mockers as in the past. Christians have alot more to worry about their fatuous religion than what one popular astrophysicist has tweet to his fans.
