If people want to demean others when they disagree with them on an issue, they accuse them of some sort of phobia. ("Homophobia" is an example.) I think that I have discovered a new phobia, which I will call "Christophobia" or "Jesusophobia." Have you noticed that people can talk about a generic god, or in our case God, and get by with it? One might even be able to mention allah without raising the ire of the politically correct. But when the name of Jesus is mentioned, all of "the bad place" breaks loose. How dare we mention that Name in polite society? Don't we know that when we talk about Jesus we are revealing that we are a bunch of "hicks from the sticks" who need to be reeducated? I am told that chaplains in the service can no longer pray in the name of Jesus. If they can't do that, then who(m) do they pray through? It is, after all, Jesus who is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us. It is almost as if the name of Jesus will bring some sort of harm to the world, and that if His name is mentioned, some child might be misled and go down the path to whatever it is the name of Jesus is supposed to lead to.
Along with "Christophobia" there is also "Crossophobia." A cross standing in a public place is a "no no." I mean atheists are really after getting crosses removed from any public place. It just makes me wonder what harm a cross in a public cemetery will cause for atheists? (It reminds me that a cross is used to stave off vampires. I'm just saying.) In passing, let us not forget "Bibleophobia." A Bible in a public school classroom will cause all kinds of bad things to happen. Then there is "Ten Commandmentsophobia." God forbid that the bedrock of Judeo-Christian law be allowed to be viewed in a public place. What is interesting to me is that those who call all of this unconstitutional could care less about the constitution in many other situations. (I'm just saying.) I'm sure there are other "phobias" that I could mention, but these should suffice. Bro. Joe
