The "red cup controversy" wasn't "alive and well in modern Christianity" as there was no actual outrage about the cup, only self-congratulatory outrage by others against the presumed & imputed anti-red-cup outrage which didn't actually exist. What's telling is how many people were quick to sneer at a group for doing something they didn't do.
- 6stringmerc 11y agoUh, it's an indicator. Goes alongside the "War on Christmas" narrative that has been, ahem, alive and well in modern Christianity. Would you prefer a citation of the growing frequency of political grand-standing of forbidding "Sharia Law" in predominately Christain districts?
- licoricetic 11y agoSaying "War on Christmas is alive and well in Christianity" is like saying "Daesh is alive and well in Islam". It is smearing a much larger group for the misbehavior of a small segment of demagogue extremists.

- licoricetic 11y agoWatching FoxNews is not the same as espousing all its broadcasted opinions.
- ctdonath 11y agoI'll take your insistence on bashing modern Christianity with whatever you can (red cup, Christmas, politics, Sharia) as an indicator of something all right.
