  1. Thank you, Maha.  Wishing happiness for the holiday and the New Year to you also.

    And a happy holiday wish goes out to all you Mahabloggers.

    Love,

  5. My best wishes to all for the "fêtes de fin d'année!"   

    I haven't been posting much, but, I still read this blog every day.

    Sláinte ,  everyone!

  6. Ah what a read.  E.J. Dionne Jr. talk sanity about the meanings of Christmas.

    He even uses the term progressive Christians.  Are they becoming the silenced minority?  

    You see this divide when progressive Christians, who cite the liberating Exodus story and the Sermon on the Mount’s personal and social demands, face off against conservative Christians who point to what Leviticus said about homosexuality and stress narratives of personal salvation (see those John 3:16 signs at football games). It’s no accident that the Gospel’s affirmations about the poor and the marginalized — along with Exodus and the prophets Micah, Amos and Isaiah — tend to be heard more often in African American churches than in conservative white congregations.

    The skeptic would take all this as proof that religious faith, including Christianity, is a human invention that individuals and groups turn to their own worldly purposes. And Christians of all stripes often make the skeptics’ point by behaving in thoroughly un-Christian ways, perhaps especially in their arguments with each other.
