Is there such a thing as deliberate naivety? I do think so. Of course it's not "the market". The "laws" of supply and demand do not exist, they're simply the hocus pocus of the money-fetish. If things are not evident, before ones eyes, they pass further, deeper into memory until the fog thickens. But it is funny how lefties become market fundamentalists when it suits their dogma. It's only censorious iconoclasm in the ISIS / north American liberal / PC / militant rationalist mould that takes iconography seriously enough to want to suppress it. Behind this lies genuine idolatry - that's another story. For most of Christian roots, whether Christian or not, pictures and words remembering Christian stories are no biggie, they elicit feelings, of warmth, nostalgia or others, but rarely aversion. Is that really controvertial? Besides which I can buy a light-up Rudolf nose or father christmas toe clippers, hardly popular products, but no sign of owt actually Christian. I think it's a no-brainer unless you think Christianity is some evil or primitive creed that's best eradicated, as do many here. |
