Have Thought Will Travel. Ruminate on ideas, philosophy, culture, society, books, music, politics, religion, movies...and see where it takes us.
May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

A Flowerbed Formed Like a Cross Is Offensive? Really Atheists?
![]() |
So offensive! |
Earlier in the week, some bigoted, intolerant Atheists got
their wish in Columbus , Georgia , and got a flowerbed in a
park that was shaped like a cross removed. That horrible icon of love,
sacrifice and salvation is sooooooooooo upsetting to these thin skinned
knuckleheads, a fellow secularist, in the form of a judge, had it removed.
Citizens that wanted the cross there went to the city
council and told the council to put it back. You know, citizens that
politicians are supposed to be serving. The Christian-hating members said no.
They citied a law saying a cross or religious symbol can't be on federal land.
Problem is, no such law exists, just as there's not separation of church and
state in the Constitution. Christian symbols by the way, are on practically
every federal building and on currency.
Often these kind of people, government officials and
politicians, do support Sharia
Law. Let's see how much they pine for
Judeo-Christian law when women are turned into slaves to be beaten and stoned,
there are minarets all across he land, and they have to bow to Mecca five times a day. Oh yeah, beheading if
you don' convert and obey.
These secularists forget all the values they hold dear, or
claim to, are Judeo-Christian. Equality, Justice, caring for one another,
freedom of speech, and all the rest come from scripture, God's law, natural
law. They're only hoping if the excise Christians from culture and politics,
they'll be the ones that rule the roost. Don't count on it. Any State,
Communist Soviet Union, Communist China, Communist Cuba, and any other
anti-Semitic, anti-Christian government only leads to death, prison and enslavement.
They kill their own willingly.
Don't have to be a Christian, but you should respect them,
beyond tolerance. The freedoms you have are because of them. The values you
claim to have, come from them.

More Attacks on Christianity in America
A few weeks ago I wrote about and posted a vid of music that a high school music group could not play, just music, no words, because of the title "Ave Maria". There's also the WWI Veteran Memorial in the middle of the Mojave Desert that intolerant bigots are trying to tear down because it's a cross. Both these cases have been sent up to the Supreme Court.
Another development in the high school case, in the form of a letter from an intolerant anti Christian bigot. The "Ave Maria", sung in Latin, (I know because we are singing it in our Christmas Concert this year), is by Franz Biebl. It's not the well known one by Schubert. I bring this up because the letter writer says just the title puts the words of the song in her head. I've sung it dozens of times, and I still need to read it. It's in Latin! Excerpt from her letter: "That melody is very familiar to all of us, and when we hear the instruments play, the words are immediately heard in our brains." "If secular people of all stripes, whether atheist, agnostic, skeptic or freethinker, don't speak out about these abuses...we will be no better than the Islamic jihadists."
This piece of music is soooooo beautiful, I'm stunned that anyone can link it to murdering Islamofascists. I wonder if she finds Zepplin's "Stairway to Heaven" offensive because of the word heaven. Perhaps this needs to be scrubbed from the airways.
On to the latest bit of bigotry. Penn State is selling a tee-shirt with a vertical blue stripe down the middle of the front, and "Penn State" horizontally across the stripe. OMG! It's a cross! It's forcing Christianity down everyones' throat! The blue stripe is the same as on the football helmets. Based on six complaints, the Anti-Defamation League is involved. Thirty thousand shirts have been sold.
How ridiculous can anti-Christian bigots get? How intolerant? Liberalism used to be the idea of letting people live and let live, of acceptance. Of freedom of expression.
We have a cross commemorating Vets in the middle of the desert that you have to really really go out of your way to see, being attacked. We have a fairly obscure piece of music, without words, being attacked. We have a tee shirt with a stripe on it, being attacked. Good heavens! Oooops. Hope that didn't offend anyone. Good grief.
