I wonder how atheists/agnostics feel about this? I know the tend to oppose Judeo Christian displays. I guess in their view, Satan is a figment of our imagination also and don't want those displayed also?

 

I wonder how the ACLU would view this? Let them display also as fairness to all or fight that like they do Nativity scenes?

See Post #27 for the ACLU representing people with Christian beliefs.

 

I'd guess the ACLU would be fine with consistency. When places are asking for 10 Commandments, nativity scenes, and the like, this is what they may open themselves up to.

Wonder if the people saying that things like nativity scenes and the 10 Commandments are protected religious freedoms feel the same when someone with an opposing view wants to do the same?

 

If you are for a posting of the Ten Commandments in the same building, then, IMO, you are being hypocritical if you don't allow this.

 

It's an all or nothing proposition. Every religious group gets to put up displays or none do. For me, this is why you don't let anyone do it.

 

 

It's best not to allow any kind of religious doctrines to be place in public tax supported buildings. That's opening up a big can of worms.

If the elected representatives vote to allow the Satan display - have at it. We do live in a democratic republic. Those people have the role to decide on these type of things.

Politically: I agree with most its probably better to have no statues of any beliefs. Being that there is a Christian one, politically it would make sense for an anti-Christian statue to be there as well.

 

Religiously: Absolutely no place for this at all. I don't think there needs to be an explanation.

 

This story exposes some of the problems/roots of problems with our society. 1st people let their political views shift their religious views - which is absolutely absurd. Religion is infinitely more important than politics, and always will be. To let some superficial figurehead have any affect on your view of life is crazy. Stick to your morals and do whats right. 2nd everything has to be politically correct. Everybody has to be equal and one group/person cannot have more than another. Competition is a good thing and it drives society. For Christians, we must realize that we (people on Earth) make up the Church. The Church is like a body. A body is made up of different limbs, organs, etc. Some play bigger roles than others (heart is more important than tonsils). So the point is we don't have to be so darn politically "correct" all the time.

 

Off the soapbox and back to the topic.

The Muslim religion has tons of members throughout the world. So glad there was a nut job from the religious right there to interrupt. Surprised she didn't use "Sharia Law"!

I wonder, would a Mosque allow a Christian Service to take place, while removing or hiding all references to the Muslim religion?

If a Christian Service would have occurred in a Mosque in Middle Eastern Capital there would not have been anyone complaining the way she did...they would have just killed everyone inside.

I didn't know we had a government building acting as a church here.

Yep. Every single person in the Middle East is out to kill Christians at any cost.

Sarcasm aside do you think a Christian Service in a mosque in Iran would be tolerated?

When comparing my nation to others, Iran isn't one the list that comes to mind as being flattered by association with.

I didn't say a Government Building unless you consider the National Cathedral a Government Building...which it isn't.

Do you think Muslims would stand by and happily allow a Christian Service in any Mosque even in the US if it also meant hiding or covering all images of their religion.

 

Other than to make a point I don't know why Muslims would want to hold a service in an Episcopal Church.
