We all have our niche causes, but in the grand scheme of things this really does seem like a trivial matter.
I’m growing weary of people who try to portray Christians as a persecuted American minority because some people object to having prayers, or ten commandments, or religious-based phrases dominating every conceivable public forum.
I dare say that some of these people would make a greater mark for Christianity if they pursued causes of social justice rather than monitoring the holiday dialogue of sales clerks at the local department store.
Bryan at “Why Now?” points out that in his Florida community the homeless tend to be employed, but can’t afford housing in the community.
What does it say about us as a nation that people who are employed can’t afford decent housing, but a bunch of Christian asshats think that “saving ‘Merry Christmas'” is “making a difference” in this fading republic.
I am more disgusted than words can possibly express….
Somebody’s Daily Kos sig line says it best:
“Conservatives want the United States to be a Christian nation, liberals want it to act like one”
