Whether you realize it or not, we are in the season, or maybe era, of who-gets-to-use-what-word. The Conservatives of this country have been on a rampage to keep gay people from using the word “Marriage” (although many of them are changing their minds). The Associated Press just took back the word “Homophobia”. They aren’t going to use it and what’s more, they don’t want you to either. “It’s just off the mark,” said AP deputy standards editor Dave Minthorn to Politico. “It’s ascribing a mental disability to someone and suggests a knowledge that we don’t have. It seems inaccurate. Instead, we would use something more neutral: antigay, or some such, if we had reason to believe that was the case.” So. I am taking back the word “Christian”. It is no longer to be used in conjunction with certain individuals. I have always allowed others to define themselves, but to me, a Christian is one who philosophically lives by two Christ Principles: Love God above all else, and Love Your Neighbor as Yourself. That is not just my idea. Jesus Christ is the one who set those standards, I am merely reminding you of them. If someone lives by those, and wants to be called a “Christian”… great. I’m onboard. evolequals/2012/11/27/take-back-the-word-christian-its-time/
