I'm dreaming of a lunar Christmas

The liberal west's tendency towards self-parody hit a high point recently -- you might say, in terms of lunatic, this was a full-moon.

According to reports, the City of Chicago has declared that a public festival celebrating Christmas is no place to promote a move about the Christmas story.

City officials are worried ads for the new film "The Nativity Story" might offend non-Christians.

Notice that no one has actually said they would be offended by this, the officials are just worried that it might offend.

It reminds me of when I saw an ad in a Toronto paper for a homosexual festival. The festival was sponsored by the Royal Bank of Canada. One of the prominent persons featured in the ad was a gay porn star; the picture in the ad was suggestive of his occupation. I phoned in to complain that the Royal Bank was sponsoring and promoting pornography, without mentioning the gay angle. They were flabergasted. They simply saw it as supporting and marketing to homosexuals.

I pointed out to the Royal Bank person that we now live in a society where people are no longer free to wish someone a "merry Christmas", because it might offend someone, but it is apparently OK for a major corporation to support pornography in a public newspaper.

We cannot teach Christianity in public schools, because it might offend; however we must teach homosexuality in all its glorious details, regardless of who is offended.

That's how the liberal west's worship of the god of Tolerance works.

This Christmas, I'll be worshipping a Man who began life as a babe in a manger. Those who looked on him saw the face of God.

Wise men still seek Him.

Oh come, let us worship Him.

Christ the Lord.

"Merry Christmas to everyone."

Who ever thought that these would be viewed as seditious words?

And that's the way the Ball bounces.

The [luna]tics (pun intended) are running the asylum.

Christians are going to have to get more political. Every time some idiot politician perceives some slight for someone he should face the threat of losing the next election to a Christian.
