Tha act of mentionaing Christianity might not be discrimination...but neither is the act of not mentioning Christianity.I don't believe anyone has said that using Jesus' name is discriminating against anyone.I might be mistaken but I'm getting the distinct impression that you think the rights of Christians are being eroded.
Can you please identify where?
They can follow their faith openly and without impediment from the government.
They can wear t-shirts with a picture of Jesus in public, they can wear a cross around their necks, they can gather in buildings dedicated to the express worship of their chosen deity, they can perform ceremonies for noted social events such as weddings, births and deaths in the manner of their choosing...I'm not too sure where you think the oppression comes in.
When you have people pretending that any public mention of Jesus is "Discrimination" against non-Christians,
it is obvious that the goal is to discriminate against Christians,
AND that people who are so bigoted against Christians are probably already discriminating against them is what ever way they can get away with.
The idea of the change was to be more inclusive of all religions.
....
cnm said that very thing. And I've heard other liberals hold that basic position, so it is not just him.
And that is my point. The stated reason might be to be more inclusive. They always say some such shit.
But it is revealed to be a lie, by the way they are happy to have other efforts made to celebrate other SPECIFIC religions, such as the Muslim Call to Prayer as per the op.
The change to the parliamentary prayer would remove reference to SPECIFIC religions so any point you're making about discrimination is obviously wrong.
There was no national call to prayer.
There was a nationwide screening of a Christian memorial service for the 9/11 victims in 2001.
National holidays are held for Christian Easter and Christmas.
Christian ANZAC Day services are held across the country in April.
The act of mentioning Christianity is not discrimination.
The fact that you libs pretend that it is, to justify purging any mention or pubic display of Christianity shows that you libs are religious bigots and is discrimination against Christians, and Christianity.
The OP mentions a call to prayer observed nation wide. I'm sure the plenty of public officials specifically mentioned it to support it, and celebrate diversity and inclusion.
The double standard is the point.
There was no call to prayer.
There was a call for a nationwide two minute silence and a televised remembrance service as well as a series of services throughout the country including Christian services.
You repeating something over and over doesn't make it true.
I don't think you understand what a double standard is.
