For God’s sake don’t say God!

As a lad we began our school day with the lords prayer. At lunch some lucky volunteer was picked to say grace, and we actually learned a little about Christianity in schools, instead of a littany of facts about allah, buddah, or whatever diety some other part of the world might worship. When we came home we asked the blessing before supper and said our good night prayers before going to sleep. Sunday was a day for church and Sunday school and thats it. Now it seems the word “God” is a four letter word only to be uttered in your bedroom, and only then once the sheets are pulled up. Apparently, it has somehow become offensive to those who either believe that God does not exist, or that we have somehow been misinformed and following the wrong diety. Personally, I do not get my knickers in a not when I see a burka, or a endless sea of Turbans. A forehead dot, does not even give a slight raise in my blood pressure. Why is it than that a pleasant wish of “Merry christmas”, seems to send these late comers into a frenzy. Why is a crucifix on the wall so offensive that it overshadows all the pleasantries of this country?Personally, I am tired of this new age crusade, and all the political correctness that goes with it. Welcome to Canada. If I offend you, there is a plane going back to your country tonight. Safe journey.
