Political Correctness Nonsense And Backfire
Al Mohler looks at PC-weirdness run amuck in the church. It's about a church that tries, literally, to be "all things to all people." Now, one thing I want to make clear, the problem in this story is the inclusivity of the theological outlook of the church. At first glance it looks like a story about facility sharing, and that, I think, is not such a bad idea.
This has to be one of the most asinine things I have ever read.
When I visited the Soviet Union in 1991, some of the citizens were found of telling me that they had a rule for everything. So many rules in fact that one could be assured one was always breaking some. Ringing any bells for you?
So, with this background, this story absolutely cracked me up.

A new grammar rule devised by the European Union in Brussels stipulates the word "Christ" shall be spelled with a lowercase "c."Set aside for a moment the obvious religious bigotry and disrespect accorded in the move, (Sheep's Crib is all over that angle anyway) what in the world is a quasi-government body like the EU doing setting grammatical rules like this? I am farily certain they must have something more important to do with their time.

A decision to call Christmas lights "Winter Lights" in south London has been condemned as showing a "total lack of respect" for Christians.I guess it's not that you offend, but who that matters most. But then that;s the problem with political correctness, there is always someone to take offense. As I have no doubt someone will to this post.
Advertisements for the switch-on of the lights in multi-cultural Lambeth have renamed them, apparently for fear of offending other faiths.
