Cross Clarification

clip --
Serious Christians ought to be the first ones to be alarmed by the notion that their most sacred symbol is on the verge of being co-opted by the government.




from the ruling: Continued McKeown, “The use of such a distinctively Christian symbol to honor all veterans sends a strong message of endorsement and exclusion. It suggests that the government is so connected to a particular religion that it treats that religion’s symbolism as its own, as universal.”

  1. What is it about so many Christians that makes them believe they have the right to plant their religious icons on public property? You'd think the fact that they have churches on practically every corner in the country and their millions of homes, cars, businesses and all manner of other personal property, would be enough. I don't get it!
