I just explained this whole story to a little student of mine, who was all dressed up like a princess to go to a Politically Correct, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Non offensive, small-carbon-footprint, Socially Justiced, Tikkon Olam kind of Purim Party.

I didn't think those type of Jews even celebrated Purim.

She was STUNNED to hear the true story.

From an Irish-Indian, Bible-Thumping, Bass-Playing, Harley-Riding, Christian.

Why does everyone think that only chrstians can be "Bible-thumpers?" Don't you think the people who know how to write them out by hand are the ultimate and true Bible-thumpers?

The Purim party as celebrated in the US: the holiday itself, at least as American Jews typically observe it, is a festive, even raucous occasion, featuring foot-stamping, play-acting, noisemakers, and lots of hamantaschen, a special-for-the-day kind of pastry filled with prunes or poppy seeds. - See more at: http://mondoweiss.net/2011/03/we-planned-the-purim-party-then-my-partner-actually-read-the-book-of-esther#sthash.1x2JYlzS.dpuf
These Tikkun Olam parties, as left that other site vividly explains, have nothing to do with Purim tradition.

As to Bible thumping the real story of Purim is the slaughter of hundreds of Jewish enemies. Read Esther if you want the kind of Bible thumping that manifests in true blood and gore.
