Just Plain Stupid….

December 20, 2008

Today you can read some of what’s happening in England with regards to the celebration of Christmas.  Take note.  Much of the attitude you see there, you see or soon will see here.  Europe is usually a couple of years ahead of the US in adopting the liberal, secularist mindset.  But we’re running close behind them…

So what’s happening?  First, In the Church of England (Anglican) some Christmas Carols have been deemed “oppressive” or “intolerant” and they are being rewritten.    This is the lunacy I’m talking about: “O come let us adore Him” – has been changed in one church to “O come in adoration”, both changes apparently made for fear the original was sexist.”   Oh, please.  Jesus was a baby BOY.

Secondly, it seems that Westminster Abbey can’t decide what religion it should be during the Christmas season, so it is puting up decorations for all of them.  (I can’t make this junk up!)   The Abbey staff has added “Hindu snowmen, a Chinese dragon and a Jewish temple to the lawn where the traditional scene of a baby Jesus, angels, and the three wise men used to be displayed alone.”

It’s Christmas.  That’s CHRIST-MASS.  The celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth.

I’m wondering if the synagogue or the Hindu temple feels compelled to put up a manger scene?

Probably not.  Only Christians seem to be willing to dumb-down and deny their faith on the altar of political correctness.

Merry Whateveryouwannacallit!

I’ll still call it Christmas.  Read the full stories below.
