-------------------------------------- The entire issue is simply the REMOVAL of the name Jesus IDB .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.You realise that they still have that right...don't you?But Christians do. And they have the right to publicly celebrate their faith and heritage.
Why are you offended by that? Why do you oppose that?
Is the purging of any Christian references from the public prayer per the OP, a singular event, that will never be repeated or built upon?
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.
Do you think God will disappear if we don't say the name of His son in the halls of power?
Isn't He supposed to be all-powerful?
