My friend Jill started prattling on about political correctness, and how she is now afraid to say what she thinks because of the politically correct thought police.
Oh really? (I won’t even state the fact that Jill has never been afraid to give her point of view)
I have to say, she has always voted Liberal (grimace) and it seems she is falling hook, line and sinker for the latest conservative babble. You know, when the conservatives are pulled up for saying something bigoted, or stopped from saying their usual crap, they say it is political correctness gone made.
Jill then went on about how parts of society are too scared to celebrate Xmas because of it offending people, which is just bullshit. It is like the white majority trying to claim they are discriminated against. I really couldn’t believe what was coming out of her mouth.
It is just conservative political indoctrination.
Some idiot priest in the US, apparently, recently took great delight in telling children at some mall that Santa was dead, I am assuming because he wanted to push the Christian message. Actually, priest you are completely wrong, deluded I say, Santa is going strong, it is Jesus who is dead.
Jesus is dead, stop trying to resurrect him.
I said to Jill that not only should we stop celebrating Christmas, we should get rid of Christmas altogether. The vast majority of people couldn’t care about Christians and Jesus and the appropriated date of Christmas from the Pagans, we are now all only interested in present giving, it is a spending frenzy like no other at any other time of year. And we should therefore finally ditch the Christian message altogether and call it what it has been for many years.
It makes sense to celebrate the New Year, as that is something that has relevance to all people. We could have New Year’s Eve, New Year’s day and Boxing Day could be the 2nd of January. We could even sing carols to the new year, if you like that part of the tradition, celebratory songs for the coming year, which would give the opportunity to the musicians to write some new ones. Ditch the Christion songs, and sing the plethora of carols we already sing that have no Christian message at all. It is time to stop commemorating the Christian meaning as it means nothing to the vast majority of all of us. The minority Christians could keep celebrating whatever they like, naturally. The Great Sky Fairy, the Big Turkey, whatever they want, whatever their deluded brains compel them too, up to them, they are free to do what makes them feel good, naturally, while the rest of us get on with connecting with reality.
We could have Festivus of the New Year, a celebration of the coming year. It has been described as "the perfect secular theme for an all-inclusive December gathering." It could be the perfect secular gathering for the end of December.
Of course, the date will probably never change, we are stuck with 25th December and that has nothing to do with Jesus, or god, or religion, that is because it makes too much money on the date it is now celebrated, which is further evidence that Christmas no longer has anything to do with Christ.
