Portmanteau word of the day

Christinanity

encapsulating:

Christ

Christ nbsp; /kraɪst/ [krahyst]
–noun
1. Jesus of Nazareth, held by Christians to be the fulfillment of prophecies in the Old Testament regarding the eventual coming of a Messiah. 
2. the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament (used chiefly in versions of the New Testament). 
3. someone regarded as similar to Jesus of Nazareth.
 

+ Inanity

in·an·i·ty  /ɪˈnænɪti/ [i-nan-i-tee]
–noun, plural -ties for 2.
1. lack of sense, significance, or ideas; silliness. 
2. something inane. 
3. shallowness; superficiality.
 

Creating a compund noun for cases of senseless religiosity which do nothing to advance anyone, to whit, almost any time the pope opens his mouth, pretty much anything to come out of the 700 Club, Focus on the Family, Hillsong, Fred Nile or fucking Mel Gibson.

Luckily, there are antidotes to Christinanity, best administered regularly:

Pharyngula
The Non-Prophets
The Atheist Experience
Iron Chariots
Richard Dawkins
Christopher Hitchens
Sam Harris
