Christianophobia & Phantom Turkeys

It had to happen. A Westminster debate over "Christianophobia" has recently concluded without this neologism being struck from the record nor the person who coined it being run out of town on a rail.

In related idiocy, the Conservative MP Mark Pritchard said,
Taking Christ out of Christmas is like serving the Christmas turkey without the stuffing.
Actually, it's more like serving the Christmas turkey without the turkey and pretending that it's still on the platter.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
