People who suggest that something might have lost its meaning are usually people who are advantaged by that being the case, even if it so obviously isn’t.
As for shoving it in people’s faces, how about this analogy: man I’m so sick of those Christians constantly pushing their religion down my throat, talking about their religious beliefs all the time and shoving it in my face by wearing crosses around their necks and putting crosses on the tops of buildings designed specifically to promote their way of life. Nobody cares what they do in their private lives, what’s all this proclamation for anyway? Why do they have public holidays and entire festive seasons for their beliefs, singing carols about it and having parades? You don’t see atheists insisting on public holidays and parades! How can I protect my children from Christianity when they insist on flaunting it in front of everyone, to the point of wearing symbols of it as jewellery!
lol...
If all of these symbolic things like watch bands and faces have no impact, why are people so sensitive about them? We all know the answer: they’re good and they do make a difference, as evidenced by how worked up bigots get about them.
Your chosen examples are TERRIBLE.
I have never had a christian ‘push their religion down my throat’... who are the people in your circle? This hasnt happened to anyone I know..
Then we have “shoving it in my face by wearing crosses around their necks”. I have never seen anywhere in public, someone putting undue attention onto their crosses, theyre usually hidden under a shirt. Once again, who are you hanging out with? 50 cent? Also.. they seem very aggressive “shoving it in my face” ...wow
Then finally “putting crosses on top of buildings”. atleast there you have to look at a specific building. I cant read a newspaper, watch a tv show or movie, or express my point of view about a topic without having to conform to a PC standard which has never ever been imposed before, and if i dont agree with this anti-scientific understanding - that one can pick their gender or sex or nationality (yes that is a thing now) regardless of what their genetic or immediate circumstances, then i get called a bigot.
By the way, some of my closest friends are gay, i’ve known them for years, we’ve travelled half the world together. We talk about this stuff randomly too, but it’s at the point where its EVERYWHERE now, and its at the point where everyone is now hyper sensitive about anything thats ever said about anyones gender or orientation or even personal preference of any kind... you probably cant even compliment someone without a chance of offending them somehow.
It’s a dangerous, aggressive precedent this strong PC push is creating. It creates more hate than love. Everyone should do as they please, express them selves how they please, without third parties telling them what to do at every step. This works both ways.
