    Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton used a strange new term on Sunday to address the tragic bombings on hotels and churches in Sri Lanka. In a tweet sharing her condolences, Clinton regretted that "Easter worshippers" had been targeted in the attacks.

    ...In fact, the Daily Caller noticed that several of the 2020 Democratic candidates omitted the term Christianity in their messages about the Sri Lanka tragedy. Beto O'Rourke and Andrew Yang were among the few who did make note of it.

    I hadn't heard this term until yesterdays Islamic attack on a series of churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on the morning of Easter sunday.

    The response from top democrats was quite different from the New Zealand attack.

    With Ramadan upcoming (known for its violence), will Hillary and Obama refer to them as "Ramada worshipers"?

    Is it taboo to say 'Christian'?

    Apparently for leftist politicians it is taboo unless one is condemning Christianity; and then it is just fine to use the term. Anyway some people did something . . . and that sums up the leftist politician's perspective when blanket excusing ALL acts of Islamic terrorism.

    Yep, gotta maintain the narrative of Christians as the eternal oppressors.

    You can say Christian if you're using it when blasting right wing gun toting bible clinging white nationalists, but you can't say Christian in any manner which might infer some sense of victimhood, because... you know... crusades.

    Not necessarily, and especially if the message is derogatory. However, you must realize that the're being told what to say. The left speak with the one voice that pays the bills - soros'.

    More like dumb speech. It's not like Christianity causes intelligence or anything.

    Naw, I criticize Christians for being Christians. I mean, who is so silly as to think that there are actually gods.

    Stop gauging intelligence by what you see in Mexican illegals who are mostly Catholic.

    Oppressors, not really. A drag on human progress, is more like it.

    I'm agnostic, but I can see why people since the dawn of time want to believe there is more to life than just living and dying. Some religious fanatics take it so seriously that they think there is a harem of virgins waiting for them at the pearly gates if they murder enough infidels while dying.

    Easter is a Pagan Holiday... Christians also celebrate it, not sure about Muslims, but Muslims also believe in Jesus and Mary, so maybe

    Edit : Muslims believe Jesus was swapped out and not really killed, so they would not celebrate Easter

    https://www.islam-guide.com/ch3-10.htm

    [​IMG] ...They said, “We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God.” They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)... [​IMG] (Quran, 4:157)

    Heaven forbid American Liberals would ever express sympathy for Christians. That's reserved for Muslims and illegal immigrants.

    I grew up around white conservative Christians. A bunch of nut bags as far as I'm concerned. Freaky nut bags.

    Hmmmm...Europe built huge castles and churches, wrote great music, built ships that sailed the globe, gave us great art, etc. Africa gave us pottery and a few worthless college courses, and the Middle East gave us...err...ummm....help me out here.

    Is that your explanation about why Hillary and Obama came up with this term?

    In that case, you should be grateful for this attack. Less drag on progress now that there's less Christians. :applause:

    It began as a Celtic tradition. That is where the basket, grass and eggs come from. It was part of their new years celebration.

    Conservatives sure love to whine about dumb things. It's amazing with all the crap going on, what they focus on.

    Why Conservatives Are So Angry About Obama’s Reference to “Easter Worshippers”
    https://slate.com/human-interest/2019/04/easter-worshippers-obama-hillary-conservative-backlash.html
    I would argue that it takes a true savant of exquisitely attuned grievance collection to read an individual reference to “Easter worshippers” as an attempt to avoid acknowledging Christianity.
