-Bangalore,India: A Threat Against Celebrating Valentine’s Day?
by Dr. D ~ February 10th, 2009
Last year we wrote about how some Muslim countries reacted against Valentine’s Day– here and here.
This year an anti-Christian activist group in Bangalore, India is threatening action against all those who celebrate the ‘Christian Holiday’- Valentine’s Day. The radicals consider the holiday an affront to traditional Indian culture and religion. Found this on the Persecution Blog–here’s a link to the original story.
The radicals are actually serious in calling Valentine’s Day–”a Christian conspiracy”.
Response: It used to be called Saint Valentine’s Day but long ago lost any religious significance. Valentine’s Day is now merely a Western cultural event that seems to have gained favor around the world.
A ‘Christian’ conspiracy? More likely a conspiracy of greeting card companies and florists! LOL. However it is not really a laughing matter since these activists are serious about using this cultural event as an excuse to persecute Christians. *Top
