No more "Christ" with a capital C in the Netherlands

Brussels, Oct. 19, 2005 (CNA) - According to a new grammar rule in the Netherlands and Belgium, the name "Christ" will soon be written with a lower-case "c", as stipulated by an orthography reform published last Friday.

According to the Kath.net agency, the new spelling rules also will stipulate that the Dutch word for "jews" (joden) be spelled with a capital "J" when referring to nationality and with a lower-case "j" when referring to the religion. The changes will be mandatory starting in August 2006.

ummm...isn't the word "Christ" a proper noun and hence it NEEDS to be uppercase?

[Jimbo Gomez]

I thought this was just the case for spelling in official EU documents. Needless to say, I will not not, nor ever, apply this official rule on my own writing in dutch.

[Sinclair]

What the fuck? Christ is a proper noun. Hence, it should be spelled with an upper-case letter.

I wonder if they would consider a proposal to spell Mohammed with a lower-case m then?

There should just be no more christ period in the Netherlands.

That day is far away, and in the case it arrives, your senseless opinions about Christianity will have zero effects on how things work out.

After all, they had been worshipping Satan for YEARS before the invasion of the Semitic cult, right?

:rolleyes:

I just could not see the Pagan ancestors of the Dutch, sitting on there hands when there lands where being taken over. But after years of universalism, shit happens.

As for your question, Satan is the term the jewibes/jewistrains/gave to the Pagan All-Father, and the other Gods where labelled as Demons. So yes they had.

A lot of Christians call that all-father 'God.' And, in fact, God, who is conceived of in Christianity as a sky-god and creator, shares far more in common with non-Christian sky, sun, and creator gods than most Christian understandings of Satan.

Row as Christmas lights renamed

A decision to call Christmas lights "Winter Lights" in south London has been condemned as showing a "total lack of respect" for Christians.

Advertisements for the switch-on of the lights in multi-cultural Lambeth have renamed them, apparently for fear of offending other faiths.

Tory councillor Bernard Gentry told the BBC: "Christmas appears to have been cancelled in our borough".

A spokesman said it was an error by a junior official and not council policy.

In three of Lambeth's main town centres, the lights were referred to as "Winter Lights", while in a fourth they were called "Celebrity Lights".

The council spokeswoman said an official was concerned about people from other religions.

She said: "It was a junior-level decision and it happened to go into print which was an error basically.

"I think it was certainly not a council policy that we should call the lights winter lights."

But it has led to a series of headlines such as "Christmas is banned" and "The PC [politically correct] lights show" and led some members of other faiths to call it "ridiculous".

And Mr Gentry, a Conservative member of the joint Lib Dem-Tory controlled borough, told the BBC it went against efforts to promote respect for all faiths.

"It just seems totally against everything that we as members of the council have said, when officers try to airbrush out one of the main festivals of what is still the biggest religion in Lambeth."

"The idea that, in some way, the religious festival of Christmas is offensive to others is just daft - I have never heard a single person who's said that."

The advert appeared in Lambeth Life - a newspaper distributed by the council - and on posters.

A lot of Christians call that all-father 'God.' And, in fact, God, who is conceived of in Christianity as a sky-god and creator, shares far more in common with non-Christian sky, sun, and creator gods than most Christian understandings of Satan.
A point made several times in the introduction of my copy of the Kalevala, in which God the Father is considered roughly equal to the Old Man of Finnish mythology. Satan is generally equated with the heathen gods of chaos and rebellion.

The chrisitan "god" is called jehova/yaweh. And shares almost zero in common with anything Aryan. As for christlings "understandings" they don't matter.:rofl:

Without turning to the reality of things outside of your post, you prove yourself once again to be a complete idiot: various Christian understandings probably do matter, because if not, how would we know if or if not they share anything in common with anything Aryan? Huh? Think before you post, dumbfuck.

And, while on the topic, it's funny that a number of Christians drew upon Classical philosophy to understand God, isn't it? And Christian Neoplatonism (which borrowed, obviously, from pre-Christian, 'Aryan' Neoplatonism) has a number of similarities to the Advaitin (India, where the term, 'Aryan,' was actually used before the 19th century) conception of God.

Also, most Christians call their God, 'God,' not Yahweh or Jehovah. Some don't think that God could even have a name (because a name is limiting and also suggests personification, which doesn't make sense for an infinite being), and thus only call him by his title.

And finally, I'll remind you once again that you are wrong when you say Christians labelled pagan all-father gods 'Satan': the figure of Satan shares more in common with Loke, for example, than Odin or Tyr. In fact, Odin and Tyr were sky gods, creator gods, father gods, and gods of inspiration--all things attributed also to the Christian god (whose sky and creation attributes most definately existed before coming to Europe).

[Vindex]

That is touching, but all I have to do is open this book called the bible, to see otherwise. Not to mention read what rabbi jesus speaks.lol As for Loki the edda's where wrote down by a christian years after the fact. As for your views of Odin, wrong again.:rofl:

As for Loki the edda's where wrote down by a christian years after the fact. As for your views of Odin, wrong again.
Nearly all we know about Odin comes from the Eddas (without the possessive apostrophe, idiot). All other sources come from a few scattered and ambigous rune carvings and Roman documentation of continental Germanic beliefs (and they didn't have an 'Odin'). So if we can consider the Loke myths to be too Christianized, the Odin myths should be as well.
And regarding Odin, he is a sky god, he played a role in the creation of man, he is a father-figure, and a god of inspiration. So I think you're 'wrong again.'

[Vindex]

What you "think" and what are, are two different thangs. Odin is not jehova, and the christians god is still jehova. Odin was turned into the devil by the jewristians, and the Gods where turned into Demons. The Loki myths where made up by the christians period. And the Edda was made up by christians and should not be considered Pagan, just christian comic tales.

What you think and reality are two different things. You cannot even support your thoughts as thoughts--as I pointed out in my two posts above, they basically destroy themselves--much less as reality.

thank you god
i wish they would get rid of all them capital letters
capital letters are a waste of space, time and energy

I love to see 'pagans' everywhere throw a party every time Christianity receives this kind of blow. They don't understand that it is Tradition as a whole that is being destroyed, which will make their "pagan ressurection" even more unattainable. A nation that lets this kind of thing happen without serious protesting proves that is has effectively lost all vestiges of spiritual life.

A few weeks ago, they passed a law in my country demanding that all crucifixes be taken off classrooms' walls, even where everyone is Catholic since the nation's foundation 800 years ago. Suddenly everyone (including so-called 'nationalists', many of them pagan fetishists) was having a field day celebrating the end of the dark ages, because chidlren wouldn't have to look at a cross during class anymore. Many of the 'pagans' I met think that Europe is rejecting Christianity for something better, and that the old religions are automatically just around the corner because "people can't live without religion". Of course the situation is not like this; it's just more of the same tradition-killing cosmopolitanism that brought us this far. This is evident, since the educational programs in our schools are filled to the brim with anti-racism, liberalism, consumerism and just about every other destructive ideology.
