We don't need a nativity scene here, but a statue of a kneeling Negro soccer player handing over his rainbow armband to Von der Leyen - right? Written by Zsolt Ungváry.
By attacking symbols, they do not believe that objects are defeated, but the ideas that we think of when we see them. Burning the flag of an occupier, painting false slogans, knocking down monuments to dictatorships (shredding a homosexual storybook) can be morally defended, and sometimes even commendable, because it can represent the struggle for freedom of the oppressed, the vulnerable, and the powerless.
And there are situations when destruction is senseless aggression.
Someone(s) destroyed the Christmas nativity figures in Makó. For example, the baby Jesus was broken into pieces, the head of one of the three kings was torn off, but the animals were not spared either.
The case has several lessons:
- How good that there is still nativity
- How good that we are outraged by the destruction
- It's a shame that there are such vandal animals
- It's a shame that Christian symbols are desecrated
They damaged one of the country's most beautiful nativity scenes with shocking vandalism
By definition, this does not cause a problem for the apparent target person, Jesus (God). Eagles don't chase flies.
We are the losers.
The offended Christians, those who like to live in normality and order, those who respect traditions.
Of course, similar things have happened before. The nativity scene of the Buda church was thrown into the nearby lake; It was set on fire in Nagykovácsi, and the cross was torn off the Holy Crown on Margit Bridge several times. Then there is the well-known confession from the radio show before Christmas, when some kind of musician said: I would exterminate all Christians.
It almost sounds like a cliché, but if you think about it, it's terrifying - Christianity is the most persecuted religion in the world today.
Europe is no exception; In the West, the war is already raging between the Christian native population and the anti-Christian immigrants who are supported by the worst, the atheists.
Atheists do not have any faith, they believe that the world exists by chance, there are no laws in it, only those that they make themselves, and these can be whatever they are, because they depend solely on their will. All religions stand in their way, but for now they still feel that Christianity is stronger, so they side with the Muslims.
Has the war escalated in this country as well, and has the attack begun first against symbols, then against individuals and communities? This has already happened in the last century, but then it also required the help of an external power.
How is it that there is still such an external power? This is not good news.
For now, however, they are doing it in secret, so they do not feel a social majority behind them, or even a supportive public mood. But this is good news.
In the current domestic situation, we can count on a drunken, mentally ill perpetrator (this can be good news: there is no ideology or organization behind it; however, one wonders why if someone wants to smash and crush, why choose a religious symbol for this) or childish pranks (this is again favorable from a political point of view, although the country where children have fun with this kind of thing is sad). If, on the other hand, the vandalism is politically motivated, then atheists can be behind it, just like fanatics of other religions or people with a simple oppositional attitude, who
In Jesus, Mary, the shepherds and the kings (who are actually magicians), they see the wedges of the Orbán government pushed forward.
This is both flattering to the government and extremely humiliating to all of us.
Now we are worried about whether they will be able to restore the figures of the creation chosen as the most beautiful nativity scene in the country a few years ago.
Fortunately, these are just items, and you can make new ones from them as long as you have the will to do so. Faith and will cannot be taken away. Objects can be destroyed, but faith creates anew. But if there is no faith, the object is in vain. (In the West - and more recently here as well - they charge an entrance fee to Catholic churches, as if they were some sort of museum. Unfortunately, it turned out that way: even the curators themselves consider the things inside to be mere works of art.)
But let's be happy that everyone's first thought is: let's build another one instead of the ruined nativity scene.
And it's not that next year we will put an EU-compatible sculpture group on the main square, on which a kneeling Negro soccer player hands his rainbow-colored captain's armband to Ursula von der Leyen, who will sell it to Pfizer for good money via Eva Kail, and tanks will be bought with the euros received To Zelensky.
