Christophobia

~Last night while commercials ran during House I checked out what was on the other channels and was unpleasantly surprised by men in suits talking authoritatively about Jesus on a couple of news-interview programs.
Is it simply the season or has Bush's election given them license to appear on these shows and talk about Christianity as if it was an important and as acceptable a topic for public discourse as war, the environment, education, social security, etc.? I hated seeing them sitting in the expert seat.
Now I understand how some conservatives feel about certain 'cultural' issues (and how my parents felt about certain rock stars). It doesn't matter what they were talking about, (it wasn't history, archaeology or art), how dare Fox/Paramount/Sony/Disney etc. give them time, give a platform for that bullshit.
Now I'm afraid when I see a talking head on the news mention that particular diety, a sense of being personally wronged, a growing revulsion will come over me.
I'm becoming Christophobic.
