Editing Out the "G" Word

This post refers to this article which you need to read first: http://tinyurl.com/e9ook

An article like this certainly points out the extremes that have been unleashed under the guise of "respect of another's religion." We were gullible when we, as a society, bought into political correctness, believing it would only keep racial epithets and disparaging jokes in check. Instead it has encouraged the agendas of those wishing to expunge God from the lexicon, on the basis that faith is offensive to others, along with bad breath and slurping one's soup.

The religious right has, of course, responded by making matters worse. They provide fodder for the other extreme whenever they attempt to stand up in this ungodly mudslide. Who knew that in a time when we are villified by religious extremists for our lack of morals, that we would simultaneously be slammed by those among us who hate religion for having too much?

I often harken back to the riddle:

"How do you eat an elephant?"
"One bite at a time."

And so it is with social change. Be careful of that innocuous bite that it is offered. Elephant sometimes has strings attached.
