It's almost that time of year again

While good Christian nations slide deeper into barbarism, the self-appointed guardians of everyone else's morality have their priorities straight: Holding back the tide of rampant Jews, Muslims, and atheists who want to herd Christians into camps and feed them to lions and such. In fact, the persecution of innocent Christians is the one thing that both Jews and Muslims agree is a really swell idea.

You might think that there are really deep historical reasons for this, but it's actually quite simple. We hate having to hear bloody Christmas carols everywhere we go.

Anyway, this is worth reading. (Hat tip to rackletang) Because, face it, it's been a depressing morning so far, and we all could use a smile. Fuck Christmas.

And thanks for the link too. I never read Lewis, although I've been a total book worm as far back as. I'm seriously shamed. Maybe I was busy reading the equivalent of teen chick lit crap. I gave my daughter, for her thirteenth, a copy of Camus in one hand, and a copy of The People's History in the other.

Right on! I believe my mother was giving me Camus at that age, too.

She also introduced me to Narnia; first, reading LWW to me when I was little, and then giving me my uncle's old copies of all seven books to read on my own. She had read them so many years ago that she couldn't remember the Christian themes (I brought up the subject of Last Battle recently and she said that she didn't remember the ending or why Pullman would object to it so strongly).

I keep recommending the Narnia books to people who didn't read them as children; they really are well-written, entertaining, and occasionally quite powerful stories. They probably don't have the same impact on adults, though -- I remember understanding overall that they were supposed to be Christian metaphors, but the specific iconography wasn't familiar to me, so it all seemed very new and exciting.
