They banned Christmas!

I'm ashamed to say I actually used to live here, I couldn't believe it when a friend sent me a copy of this article http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...d-charity.html
Where would we all be without those delightful people who make it their duty to protect us from ourselves?

If everbody is for it, Christians,Jews and Muslims, why would the council be against it? Oh! I guess I should re-read my sig line!:gaah:

The day political correctness became a religion...

They canceled Christmas in Oxford.
They prohibited crucifixes above the door in mayor's offices in Belgium.

One starts to wonder if important people have nothing more important to do than taking such senseless decisions.:shrug:

And dont forget they have taken the 10 commandments out of the courthouses in the U.S..

Not everywhere
Ten Commandments amendment added to bill approved by Oklahoma Senate | Journal Record, The (Oklahoma City) | Find Articles at BNET

They should call it what it is anyway, Saturnalia. Either that or Horus' Birthday

I would just point out that, with the exception of the occasional zealot (Madelyn Murray O'Hair comes to mind), there was very little trouble with religious paraphernalia until the religious right began their efforts to take political power in the name of Jesus.

In other words, we're not the ones who politicized religion. When you consider what's happened (think Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggert), you might understand how a moderate person might look askance at displays of religious material in the public square.

But I'll make you a deal. Stop trying to teach my kids to believe in talking snakes and that the dinosaurs are extinct because Noah forgot 'em, and I'll support your efforts to have your creche.

Okay?

Religious paraphernalia was not erected by the modern day demons that haunt your nights, Nord. These monuments often predate them and their ideas. They are not to blame for the fuss. So, who is? The modern sages who have embraced a modern understand of the separation of Church and State. An understanding that would probably like to see no Church and all State. That is another issue though. Too bad they couldn't have told our forefathers, to their face, what imbeciles they were. Crosses above doors? The Ten Commandments in our courts? Horrors.

I'm just waiting for them to deface the Supreme Court's building. There is religion'n'**** up there.

Yes, some of those symbols were put up many years ago, and they remained unmolested until that pack of grifting Pharisees began to lie, cheat, and steal to promote their particular religious cults.

I stand by my statement.

What haunts your nights? It certainly isn't religious freedom.

There is very little in the world that grates on my nerves any more than the Sunzabi***es who say, "Let MY conscience be YOUR guide!"
