Political correctness is now apparently a given in our society, so I thought it would be fun to play a little game called illustrating absurdity by being absurd. The following things have not happened, yet, but given our society’s love of and fascination with political correctness, it’s not too far fetched to imagine. Enjoy this little bit of humor, but keep in the back of your minds, it could all happen sooner than we think. Objects in mirror are actually closer than they appear.
Santa is no longer acceptable. He offends the feminists because he is a male. He offends obesity groups because he is fat, and he offends senior citizen groups because he is old. He offends African-American groups because he is white. So, if we come up, with a young, thin, gender neutral, bi-racial figure, that would most-likely be acceptable. Is it just a coincidence that if you take the letters in Santa and move them around slightly, you get Satan??
Animal rights activists are up in arms over Rudolph. I mean, we should never exploit a helpless reindeer by making him a symbol of commercialism. Especially when he has a condition that causes his nose to stay red constantly.
The pro-abortion crowd is offended by the Baby Jesus, because He was actually born.
Environmental wackos are miffed about Christmas trees. We should never cut down trees for any reason. They don’t like Christmas lights either because of all the extra electricity it takes to run them. And you better never let one of them catch you roasting chestnuts on an open fire. All that smoke pollutes the atmosphere. Oh, and don’t forget those gas guzzling, evil SUV’s that some of us drive to visit our families over the holiday season. That really hacks them off.
Frosty the snowman also offends the feminists. Why couldn’t it be Frosty the snow person? Or Frosty the snow woman?
Elves are offensive to those in our society who are, shall we say, vertically challenged.
The phrase “don we now our gay apparel” in a famous Christmas carol offends the gay rights crowd because they say it pokes fun at them.
Now, this little exercise was fun, but in all seriousness, these things could very easily happen unless we get a handle on the scourge of political correctness. Even the name Christmas is offensive to some because of the obvious reference to Christ. Some even try to totally eliminate all mention of Christ from the holiday, so they replace it with an “X”. I used to get very angry about the use of “X” in place of Christ. But, I had a change of heart a few years ago when I realized that the letter “X” in the Greek alphabet is the letter that represents Christ. So, I changed my attitude and decided that whenever I see “Xmas” I still see Christ since “X” represents Christ. I choose to see Christ in Christmas no matter what the Godless and the liberal left try to do.
I think it’s time that we take back our holiday, and even our nation. They have been corrupted by the Godless and the politically correct in our society and government. We can stand against the diseases of liberalism and political correctness. There is a cure for them, but it will take the efforts of all Christians to overcome them. I’m willing to do my part and take a stand. Are you??
