As If This Country Didn't Have Enough To Worry About ...
Some people are finding new things to worry about. Or maybe it’s something they’ve been worried about for their whole lives and just decided to share with the world on X—now that the notion of Creeping Christian Nationalism has become a resounding theme in the ruling class echo chamber:
Unbeknownst to most Americans, it turns out that Christian Nationalism is a threat to “our democracy”. Not your democracy, you say? Then whose democracy is that? The usual creeps, you might say. Creepy NPR and PBS seem especially exercised about this “threat”, judging from the first page of search results. I guess that’s the whole point of “creeping”. First they wish you a “blessed night” and the next thing you know they’ve crept up and enshrined freedom of speech and free exercise of religion in some weird new amendment to the Constitution. Or something like that. The solution is to be on a hair trigger level of alertness to the threat. Some might call it paranoia …

I guess that would get me fired, right?
I wonder if these language cops realize that 'good bye' is actually a contraction of God be with you? These are the same idiots who get offended when someone wishes them a Merry Christmas. I wonder what their reaction would be to a Sikh wishing them a Merry Christmas? The Sikhs where I worked did exactly that. They also put on a great spread for everyone at Vaisakhi, which is their holy day. Rather nice of them to do that, I'd say. Out of their own pocket too, unlike the Christmas dinner that the company paid for.
I actually go out of my way to acknowledge other people's faith, which is why I follow the Indian practice of greeting someone with their own religious salutation, such as sat sri akaal for Sikhs, as-salam alaykum for Muslims, and namaste for Hindus.
Likewise, I don't get my back up when a Christian say God bless you, because it's an honest expression of their desire that you receive God's blessing. Similarly Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus also use the expression when addressing Christians.
I wonder, when these language cops go on holidays to Mexico do they get offended when someone says, adios? Guess where that one came from? Same thing in French, Italian and Portuguese and many other languages as well.
OK, I guess I've worn that theme down to the bone:)
Shabbat Shalom everyone!
One of the Webster’s definitions of “blessed” is “bringing pleasure, contentment, or good fortune”.
Nero blamed the Christians for the burning down of Rome.
It is coming - the persecution of Christians in this country. First successfully demonize them and lie about them. Then blame them for all the ills of this country.
