It's Christmas--Time to Mock the Christians

This may be a few days late (hey, it's the fifth day of the 12 days of Christmas, though), but Frank Lockwood has this thought-provoking blog post about mocking Christians at Christmas.

It's a point my husband pointed out in a slightly different context the other day. Christianity seems to be the only religion in the U.S. that it is perfectly acceptable to mock, denigrate, and try to ban its discourse from the public sphere. Since tolerance is the most important virtue, supposedly, the intolerance shown to Christians, particularly at Christmas, is astounding.

When was the last time you saw news stories or columns, entertainment pieces or documentaries dissecting and dismantling Muslim or Buddhist theology? I doubt you have because if such things do exist, they are rare.

My husband calls it persecution. I'm not willing to use that term yet, but there is definitely an effort to discredit Christianity at the very least.
