RE: Small town in Minnesota Allows Satanic Monument In City Park
I'm saying it's not exclusively a religious symbol and to believe that a cross can be used only in the form of religious expression is just retarded.
What's next ban candles and bells from public places because they're parts of religious expression and may be offensive to others? Fuck that nonsense.
Yes I would agree with you there. The cross is actually another ancient symbol and predates Christianity by thousands of years.
You could say the same thing about the pentagram.
Most definately so
First, it hasn't been banned. Second, the government can use candles and bells, but not if it is in a way that promotes religion. This isn't complicated. Your problem seems to be with the constitution.
Let me ask you, seriously, if you would be upset if your city was maintaining on city property a monument with the islamic crescent moon on it, but would not allow a monument with a christian cross to be placed on that property. Would that upset you? If someone said, "well, the crescent moon isn't exclusively a religious symbol" would that settle the matter for you?
