It’s not the stuff of headlines, Christianity having been tossed into the toxic oppression dungeon by decolonialist studies

If you’re into Bible verses at Christmas, unlike the craft store clerk who didn’t know what a “nativity scene” was even after I mentioned wise men, Mary, Joseph and the “Christ child,” I suggest Matthew 5:11. Which, for her and her millennial ilk, says “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.” So there’s a lot of blessing worldwide.

It’s not the stuff of headlines, Christianity having been tossed into the toxic oppression dungeon by decolonialist studies. Its adherents are pilloried as cruel, hypocritical and mighty despite being arguably the most persecuted religion globally.

Even in Canada they are targets, from the nativity scene Moncton city council tried to nix along with its traditional Hanukkah menorah to the creeping ban on Christian prayer by military chaplains on Remembrance Day. And the creeping ideology behind it whereby the Canadian Human Rights Commission just denounced Christmas as a toxic part of so-called “Canada’s history with religious intolerance … deeply rooted in our identity as a settler colonial state.”

Unlike what paragon of enlightenment? The Soviet Union? Saudi Arabia? Iran?
