Saturday, December 10 2005: Keep Christ in Christmas
I saw the slogan emblazoned on some billboard posted along side 15 today, on my way home from lunch and it left me a bit bewildered. Are the " Stormtroopers of diversity" breaking down doors, forcing Christians to call it XMas (which, is a Christian practice, by the way, chi rho anyone?) or perhaps to burn a Yule log? Now, I know this is a hard concept for the godfuckers to grasp, but the way I choose to celebrate or not celebrate Christmas isn't their business.
Of course, just as with any text created by a Christian, the plaintext of the billboard needs to be transmogrified before the real message can be uncovered. It is a disgusting fact of life that different people have different beliefs about things like dieties and the celebration of their births by human mothers. This diversity of opinion, is hateful to the literalist and even though it is is mostly benign and none of it is an actual threat to the Christian, the "incorrect" ideas must be stamped out - resulting in eye litter along the side of the road letting me know that I am wrong and the Christian right and what's more, I must join the Christian in his joyful rectitude.
