Holidays Vs. Commandments
by Gabe Berman
Gabe is the author of Live Like A Fruit Fly
Christmas is as good a time as any to ask, “What would Jesus do?”
Or better yet, “What would Jesus want you to do?”
Would he want you to support politicians who claim to be people of “faith” as they pass judgment, lie, steal, kill, refuse to forgive and vote to make the rich richer and the poor poorer?
I think not.
“How many observes Christ’s birthday! How few his precepts! O! ’tis easier to keep holidays than commandments.” – Benjamin Franklin

Gabe Berman is a native New Yorker who settled in South Florida after graduating from the University of Miami. An epiphany, a passion, and a trail of breadcrumbs led him out of Corporate America and into the career he was meant for. After eight years of writing columns for the Miami Herald, his book - Live Like A Fruit Fly - was published by HCI Books and subsequently endorsed by Deepak Chopra. His second book, The Complete B.S. Free and Totally Tested Writing Guide, helps artists find their voice and his latest work, Where Is God When Our Loved Ones Get Sick?, uncovers the answer to this haunting question.
