Christianists

I came across the article, Onward, Christianist soldiers?, by Ruth Walker of the Christian Science Monitor today, after I saw a reference to the word “Christianist” on a liberal blog. It’s a good read. The term is very appropriate, too. During the recent Book of Daniel Incident, I’ve noticed that the word “Christian” is quickly becoming a derogatory term in this country, and I’ve often been annoyed at being put under a blanket label of “those stupid Christians” by people of the liberal persuasion. “Christianist” is much more appropriate, and I think I’ll start using it from now on. Just like Osama is an “Islamist fundamental,” Pat Roberson will henceforth be known as a “Christianist fundamental.”
