Christian names
When I was a babe in arms way back in '41, I was christened* in
St. Martin's Church, the local CofE church and was given the names Richard John. In those days, what are today called forenames, given names or first names were called Christian names...in all walks of life. So when did that change happen? And was that a starting point in the present era of denial ? (*Being a relatively late committed Christian, I regard the 1941 event as being when I was given my Christian names as I had no say in the matter. I was baptized (full immersion) two days before my 69th birthday).

Anything having to do with Christianity isn't PC anymore.

Worse .. It is perfectly ok to say anything you want . It is open season on Christians. Quote:
My Grandmother said they could take out an eye . Very dangerous. Joe says only the gubmint and Revolutionaries need guns. People watching the police stand down at the riots last summer and the coming summer are supposed to get on their knees , pray to Jesus , as they get chopped up into dog food by the Revolution . Revolutionaries are protected pets . Baskets of Deplorables are expendable. Stay out of harm's way, MERC

My Christian name is Daniel.
But out of sensitivity to the concerns raised by Black Lives Matter, I have changed my given name (first name) from Daniel to DaneequaRufiusShaneequaNgrNose.
