Are we somehow not recognized by these people?

Not recognized by Obama and Hillary Clinton? Or not recognized by the news outlets that have categorized everyone in that community that happened to be worshiping on Easter Sunday as an “Easter worshiper community”?
 
Actually the reverse is true. The States with the loosest gun laws are the safest, the states with the strictest gun laws are the most dangerous. Idaho, Vermont and New Hampshire all have permit less concealed carry and have the lowest crime.

Women, not being stupid, know the difference between benign banter and the misogynistic use of the word ‘sweetheart’ to convey a males contempt for a female. Looks like we have a thriving ‘cult of men’ here at CAF. Wonder who the Grand Poobah is?
 
I doubt that anybody fears Christians anymore. But the term Christianophobic draws a wry smile from me.

Lefties just don’t want to admit that there were Christian martyrs in Sri Lanka made by the attackers.

Somehow in their minds its better if ‘moderate’ Muslims, pregnant women with unwanted babies, the misunderstood transgendering, etc. etc. are martyrs nowdays.

I really don’t know why they do that, I doubt its fear though.

So Easter Worshippers sort of evades something that is supposed to sound less backlash provoking. Maybe thats what it is. Seems someone thought up a way to speak of this terrible terrorist attack to deflect emotion.

But in my case deflections like that aren’t working. This despicable violence has effected me more than any other terrorist attack.
 
I prefer the term “Christophobic” as it includes not only Christ’s followers but Christ Himself. Christ is God and contemporary Western culture fears and hates the one true God, His Divine and natural law. Only a little g- god (or goddess), malleable to one’s own image, pride and sin, undemanding of personal holiness, has any value today.

The people who worship in churches are generally Christian,

The media doesn’t have to say “Jewish” when they report an attack on a synagogue.
 
It should be Easter worshippers with two ps. That is how both Clinton and Obama spelled it. It is interesting that they both used the phrase and that they both used that particular spelling, which isn’t the normal spelling.
 
We’re not talking about MSM stories, we are talking about tweets fron BHO & HRC!!
 
Some headlines from last week said “Churches and Hotels bombed”, that is what happened. No, that is not insulting. Nor, is that a phrase like “Easter worshippers.”
 
Eccles explains:

As recorded in Acts 11, Saul and Barnabas came to Antioch, and hung around for a year, teaching. And, as Luke records, the disciples were called Easter Worshippers first in Antioch.

Luke omits the details, but it is clear that these Easter Worshippers were devoted to a sacred rabbit, and lived mostly on chocolate eggs.

This is also so.

I think one can say those claiming “Easter Worshippers” means only a devotion to Christ, is about the Resurrection have to be in a bit of denial, I can go to the nearest drug store, Cadbury’s chocolate Easter eggs, Easter baskets, Peter Cottontail, little marshmallow chickis to eat… I mean, this is Easter just as much to a great cross-section of the people, versus those who are insisting this is primarily about the tomb being found empty one early Easter Morning. It’s hardly even worth debating, it seems absurd and to hear that “Easter Worshippers” = Christians… so, this would bring us to say, the Holiday is secularized to many people. Christmas probably is secularized to an extent too, though, to me, the birth of Christ is still very prominent and the centerpiece of the Holiday even with Jingle Bells and White Christmas.

So did Fox News. Are they also part of some dreadful anti-Christian conspiracy? :roll_eyes:

Tourists, Easter worshippers lament closure of Notre Dame

Tourists, devout Catholics and others are looking on mournfully at Notre Dame Cathedral, regretting that they can't get inside the magnificent monument on this Easter weekend because of the damage caused by a violent fire.

They are very different contexts. The Fox News article uses the phrase as a stand in for a group of people who would have liked to go to Notre Dame cathedral for church on Easter Sunday. The tweets by Obama and Clinton use it as a stand in for Christians. It is neither more economical nor is it more meaningful of a phrase in this context.

I will grant you that they spelled the word the same though.

You can pretend that all coincidences are just coincidences and that all common phrasing used by people just happens to be the same by coincidence. The fact is that people do coordinate their statements and they do work together.
