It’s that time of year, when Chistians send out their holiday wishes. And some are kind of threatening...

You point out a blasphemous flaw in the card! They forgot to capitalize “His,” thus losing His favor. That’s 2nd level funny!

Not to mention the handwriting is bad, so they really wrote “qlory” by looking the descender in the wrong direction.

Go QLORY!

And the phrasing of the whole message is awkward in five different ways. Maybe they thought awkward to the point of pompousness helped it to sound legit and might disguise the foulness of the message as would show in more direct, less stilted language. "On earth, no peace to infidels" made the pure and good Christianity look like, oh I don't know, Islamic extremists. (Nobody wants to be reminded that they are the same dog barking at itself in a mirror.)
 
The pronoun "his," is not capitalized following the rules of capitalization in the English language.
In some translations "His," Reverential capitalization is the practice of capitalizing religious words that refer to a deity.
