Christians as the victims OR The MP who put the P in punce, and I can tell him where he can cram the M

BBC has a funny/sad story.

Mr Pritchard, Conservative MP for The Wrekin, Shropshire, has called a Westminster debate on Christianophobia for Wednesday.

...

He said he did not want to criticise people of other faiths, but wanted to "protect the Christian tradition".

...

He told the BBC: "The debate is not about doing God or theocracy. It's about ensuring that the Christian tradition of our nation is recognised.

"If mainstream political parties do not recognise and protect the Christian tradition of this nation then other more extremist parties will.

...

Mr Pritchard said the debate was particularly topical, as recent findings suggested four fifths of schools were not staging Nativity plays this year.

...

Sorry? I guess that seems like an odd problem. Even in evangel-crazzzy America the Nativity is not generally foisted on kids in schools.

But England is a land of traditions...and a state religion.

...

Mr Pritchard said many officials and public bodies forgot the work done by
Christians in charity, business and public service.

He added: "Some people seem to want to forget the Christian tradition
going back to the first century and its contribution to arts, culture and
science.

...

Yeah. And still all this comes down to foisting his faith on people and reminding people this is a christian nation first. Freedom of religion and speech, but don't ever not have Christ at the center of everything.

...

But Keith Porteous Wood, executive director of the National Secular
Society, called Mr Pritchard's debate "a waste of precious parliamentary time".

...

He added: "Christians have absolutely nothing to complain about in this
country."

Mr Porteous Wood cited the fact that 26 bishops sit in the House of Lords
and that England has an established church.

He added: "The head of state is a Christian, the prime minister is a
Christian and almost all the cabinet are self-identified Christians. How on
earth can anyone imagine that Christians are disadvantaged or pushed to the
margins?"

Mr Porteous Wood also said: "Christians are not being pushed out of public
life, if anything they are over-represented."

...

You are the majority, are the state religion, and hold the power...and still!

It is like with the FOX news "War on Christmas" crap.

How dare I not hear Merry Christmas when ever I shop! That is discrimination and abuse of my religion! A secular plot, this is!


Christians like to remind everyone of the abuse that they deal with in China and North Korea, then they throw a fit about what the person at the cash register doesn't say. How does that not make you look a bit like an ass?


I like putting up a tree and lights, and giving gifts. But that is a choice I make. Does it really have to all be about you? Really? Come on.
