BUT - Kansas Public School Takes Down Portrait Of Jesus After Complaint
So the war against Christianity goes on. I’m not so religious but I see it’s unfair. The portrait of Jesus without any religious symbols is easy to tolerate for every muslim, as well as I tolerate easily the shapes of mosque that appears in my field of vision while I walk the street. Now we see that more Christians are offended than non-Christians could be offended.
A "Freedom From Religion Foundation" speaks not in the names of Muslims. I never heard from a Muslim in my area here who liked to tear crosses from our walls in school. In my area Nazis and Commies teared once crosses from our walls. And so it's sometimes very confusing for me to see, that the modern times now starts also to tear crosses from the walls - or a picture of Jesus in this case. That's not a good sign. Lots of our people here prefer that every pupil or student, who is not a Christian, should bring his sign of religion into his classroom too and hang it besides the cross and other symbols of different religions. I guess that's in general the difference between the real right "Freedom of Religion" and the strange pseudoright "Freedom from Religion". I don't know, why naked walls should show only one belief: atheism. We lose a lot of informations in such a case - and a school is not a place where we should lose informations.
There are Sunday schools at church and the church can put up huge portraits of Jesus or anyone else. Why would anyone in any religion insist on a picture of their 'god' be hanging in a school? Other than 'well that's how's its always been'.
I personally don't have any issue with a picture of Jesus or any other god hanging anywhere, it does not offend me. But to have it hanging in a school seems over the top. These children don't go to church? And if they do they don't get enough religion in church?
When churches start hanging pictures of Zeus and Mithra in their churches then you'll have an argument. Churches ban all other god's images hanging in their church yes?
