Christians feel like Jews in France — tolerated but only just so. Their beliefs are derided openly, they are required by many to closet their beliefs in a country that celebrates freedom of speech and religion, their children are taught that there are better, areligious, values and that God is a bad word. Things they consider abominations are being forced upon them whether they like it or not, in ways they cannot, by law, avoid.

I’m not a Christian (and feeling obligated to say that is further indication), but I can see their point and find Virginia just another example of intolerance masquerading as tolerance. We must exclude you in order to include us. Does she feel the same way about Thanksgiving and the Forth of July?

Similarly, when I had a long conversation with the (devout: he’d turn the radio off during the call to prayer and then turn it back on afterwards) cook in a restaurant in Istanbul, it did not occur to me to get offended when he told me he would pray to Allah to keep my brother – who was then an American soldier in Iraq – safe. Nor did it offend my (evangelical christian) brother when I told him about it; it was obviously intended in the best way possible, and we both accepted it in the spirit intended.

I thought I’d made a funny until I googled “Happy Gregorian New Year.” Turns out people actually use that, and I couldn’t find anyone not using it seriously…

Happy Last Part of December to every being!
