      At least thirty years ago, I was involved in a situation where a third party was offended by a slightly naughty joke they’d overheard. In fact, it turned out that the third party was offended that the second party was not offended by the first party.
      This was the height of Old Political Correctness, but the third party got short shrift and, subsequently, resigned in a huff.
      I’m looking forward to the day we can once again advise other mean little bullying tattletales to go forth at their leisure.

    Well now. Yesterday here in Durban South Africa, two young black men set up their music stand at the entrance to our local shopping mall. One had a trumpet, the other a trombone. First tune? “We wish you a merry Christmas” followed by “Deck the Halls with boughs of Holly”. The incongruity of it made me smile. Considering the past, we all rub along quite well. I hope they made plenty of money.

For instance if they were to hear the word Messiah they may be offended. If you attended a mosque you will hear mention of Allah. If you were offended by the word Allah then perhaps a mosque is not for you. And likewise if you were to attend a Christian church you may hear the word Messiah. Again if you are offended by the word Messiah then a Christian church is not for you. Christians shouldn't have to change anything for fear of offending anyone.

I have no strong religious beliefs, and my family are non practicing Christians, so that would probably be a good description of me as well. I didn’t take offence at anything I witnessed in that synagogue.I chose to accept the invitation to attend and I wasn’t forced to, but I found it an interesting experience.
