Video of BT Daily: 5 Reasons NOT to Celebrate Valentine's Day
Here's five tongue-in-cheek reasons not to celebrate Valentine's Day. But can you find another?
Transcript
[Steve Myers] Here’s a little tongue-in-cheek discussion on 5 reasons not to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Number one: Flowers make you sneeze and they don’t last very long.
Number two: Pink does not make you look thinner.
In fact, number three: Pink’s a girly color that makes men feel wimpy.
Number four: Chocolate makes you fat.
Number five: Valentine’s Day is just commercialism by the greeting card companies to make millions of dollars.
Are those any reasons that you shouldn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day?
There is a more important reason, but it comes back to realizing what is
life all about. What is romance after all because Valentine’s Day is
supposed to focus on romance? And we often think of the flowers and the
candy and the meals out and all those kinds of things.
But you know what? Romance is sometimes vacuuming the house.
Romance is sometimes, yeah, cleaning the toilet or maybe changing a
diaper or two or maybe making his favorite dessert. That’s what real
romance comes down to so much of the time, real life. And sometimes we
get fooled by taking one day and trying to make something huge out of it
when in reality love is a daily thing. It’s something that we show
every single day of our life.
Christ Himself said that whatever we want men to do to us, we should
do to them. And it should be something that’s on going, not just a
onetime thing.
It reminded me of a passage that’s over in Ecclesiastes in Ecclesiastes 9:9. Ecclesiastes 9:9
says, "Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your
vain life, which He’s given you under the sun." So it’s all our days not
just one day.
And so you could probably come up with a longer list of reasons not
to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but you know they’re not all humorous.
There is another reason.
You know that many of the world’s holidays are focused and come from
roots of paganism. That’s where they’re rooted. Valentine’s Day is no
different, named after a Catholic saint. It’s rooted in paganism. Maybe
that’s a question you could ask yourself. What does God think about Valentine’s Day?
Check it out a little bit. Look at what Deuteronomy 12 has to say about it . Check it out. Do a little bit of research . You may be very surprised what you find. In fact, you’ll probably add one more big reason not to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
That’s BT Daily . We’ll see you next time.

Steve grew up as the middle child in a close knit musical family from
the Midwest. His father was a big band leader and mother loved to sing.
She encouraged him often by saying "you can do anything you want with
God's help". His enjoyment of music increased as he earned a degree in
music education. He not only performed around the country but also
served with the USO around the world.
A timely post about from www.debbieschlussel.com about a black person mocking white people. This follows this post about the Cuban Che Guevara. This follows this post about the midterm election. I am leaving TWITTER SOON. Please continue to follow me here.
By Debbie Schlussel If a White person did this, he would be out of a job and denounced worldwide. Heck, all Paula Deen did was admit she once used the N-word years ago, and she lost everything. But, if you’re Black (or Muslim or one of the other preferred minority groups), you can get away with racism and racist caricatures.
Nick Cannon, host of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” (which is owned by Simon Cowell), is dressing in “Whiteface” and mocking White men as having small testicles. All of this is to promote the impending release of his album, “White People Party Music.” The husband of Mariah Carey and father of her twins is a racist. But Black-on-White racism is tolerated, as NBC hasn’t announced any plans to remove Cannon from the show, hasn’t denounced him or his behavior, and is strangely silent . . . along with the rest of the world of race merchants.
Nick Cannon, the host of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and Mr. Mariah Carey, is now posing as a man named Connor Smallnut for a new musical project. And yes, Connor Smallnut, as you can see in the photo above and videos below, is white. . . . .
Cannon has been posting photos and videos of himself as Mr. Smallnut, whiteface and all, on his Instagram and Twitter feeds in order to hype up the release of his upcoming album, “White People Party Music.” The album is a sort of parody performed by the Smallnut character, with songs like “Pajama Pants,” which tackle heavy issues like twerking.
Hmmm . . . if a White artist–say, John Mayer–dressed in Blackface, called himself, “Tyrone Jajuan LaBobby Crack Addict Large Penis 12-Kids-With-Thirteen-Women-on-Welfare,” and titled his next album, “No, You Di’i'n’t: Black People Crack House Pit Bull Fightin’ Musick,” that would be racist. Do you think he’d still be around? Wouldn’t the world be up in arms as they were over Al Campanis, Don Imus, Michael Richards, and Paula Deen? But for Nick Cannon . . . crickets chirping. Exit Question: if Nick Cannon hates White people so much, why did he marry a half-White woman and father two kids with her? I guess that’s his way of “screwing Whitey.” I guess it’s like anti-Semite (and Matt Drudge fave) Alex Jones, who hates “Zionists” and Israel, but is married to a moronic nutbagette Jewish chick. Or Jew-hater Christiane (a)Manpour who is married to a Jewish chick with a non-working penis (Jamie Rubin from the Clinton State Department).
