Merry Culture War

Each year at this time we discover news articles and commentary about religious sensitivity gone haywire. They are almost as big of a Christmas tradition as Santa Claus, Nativity scenes, and a bleak sense of alienation.

Sensitive, bitter leftists get offended on other peoples behalf. And conservatives respond with paranoia, rage, and defensiveness. Even Brits and Canadians are sputtering indignantly about it this year.

I can't add much to the debate. Except to say "Peace on Earth, goodwill towards men" doesn't seem like a harsh concept. Except, of course, for the gender specifics, and the exclusionary bias against people from other planets.
