The confederate flag

Please re-read the posts. I had to edit it after reading as it did not make sense. The new post clearly reflects what I was trying to say.

Sorry for the confusion.

Not true. That is, again, an action of the left.

way to dodge the question!

No problem. I knew you couldn't point to anything. The Confederate flag was not removed because of religios reasons.

One of the best question dodgers I have seen on USMB - well, next to AJWS/Mustafa. But then again, AJ doesn't dodge, he just ignores facts that are presented......

From where?

 

[freeandfun1]

From a historical emblem? Please educate me. That would not be right either, but I have never heard such.

there have been numerous attempts to have the pentagram, a wiccan holy symbol, banned from schools and other semi public places whether they are worn necklaces or designs on T-shirts.

I said, from a "historical emblem". Crosses should not be worn in school either. With that, I agree. One can practice their religion in private. Again, I am speaking from a "historical" standpoint.

What facts? As I said, the Christians that did want the Confederate flag removed did not do it on the basis of separation of church and state or any such thing. They did it as they felt the Confederate flag represented slavery (which is doesn't).

You asked for a historical symbol that Christians were offended by and wanted removed----I gave you one.

There have been?

Where? By whom?


I think it's rubbish - for every established federally-recognized religion, followers are allowed to display whatever they want.

IF what you say it true - it has nothing to do with "A Christian organization trying to remove an article of historic signifigance because they didn't like part of it".

You haven't.

(shrug).

You've picked something out of your arse and said "Yeah! 'There have been'!" but provided no evidence.

And I asked you to re-read my initial post as I clarified my question.

Dodger!

however, since it was pointed out that we were looking for 'historical symbol' as the reference, this is a relatively moot point.
