Orders from Brussels: Spell Christ with a lower-case "c" By Judi McLeod Monday, October 31, 2005

It must be getting a little too close for Christmas for the chi-chi crystal palace of the pretentious European Union. Pooh-bahs in Brussels have come up with a new grammar rule for themselves and the Netherlands--making it official that the name "Christ" will soon be written with a lower-case "c". That was the stipulation in an orthography reform published earlier this month in Brussels.

According to the Kath.net agency, the new spelling legislation will also stipulate that the Dutch word for "jews" (joden) be spelled with a capital "J" when referring to nationality and with a lower-case "j" when referring to the religion. The changes will be mandatory in August of 2006. There is no description of the fines offenders will face if they keep right on spelling "Christ" with a capital "C".

The new spelling regulations are coming from the same folk, who include as one of their seat numbers in the august and austere chamber in which they gather to prevaricate on all things politically correct, the number 666.

The European Union hierarchy may have numbered the seat 666, but at last count no one has had the courage to actually claim the seat as their own.

some more excerpts....

"At the European Union, the name of the humble carpenter from Nazareth may be diminished by lower-case spelling, but Javier Solana, The Great will continue to have his name spelled in capital letters."

"Solana, a sort of Kofi Annan, European style, is High Representative of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the Secretary General of both the European Union and the Western European Union. Note to the media, all of his titles are to be spelled in capital letters."

"EU politically correct lockstep seems to be as infectious as bird flu. Across the ocean in faraway Florida, schools are banning Christmas and Easter holidays in response to Muslim demands."

"Demands from the terrorist-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for an official school recognition of a Muslim Holy Day has resulted in the Hillsborough County School Board banning all religious holidays–Christmas, Good Friday and Easter are off the calendar."

Any parent, whose little angel has been traumatized with nowhere to show off her Christmas pageant wings, will have to perform for the neighbourhood kids out in the garage this year.

You got to hand it to those zaney Eurocrats. Who else could think of this stuff?

Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

The demons and devils are beginning to really tremble also...as the day draws near.

Why only Belgium & the Netherlands?

In German, all nouns are capitalized, always.

It would be pretty tough to impose such a rule EUwide.

[Esther Ruth]

Just subtle incrementalism, a start, in some corner where there may be the least resistance (they've figured) and after it settles into minds with no dispute than expand??

The enemies of God know how close it is, they can sense it all around.

Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

I propose from now on to refer to it as the "eu."

Right after they took power in the October Putsch, the Bolsheviks required that the Russian word for God (Bog) be spelled without a capital letter.

That answer your question?

As the Lord's return draws near, the demons and their hand-maidens are getting restless.

As it should be.

OK, what's their rule for mohammad?

[Esther Ruth]

It is like something out of a weird flick, these folks making laws telling people not to capitalize the name of their God. They skipped a few steps I think. First they were suppose to burn down the Churches then burn the Bibles. Maybe they are in a hurry for some reason.
