The State should not endorse any religion. It should merely operate on the laws / principles that work. ... and it just so happens that the only ones which work are from the Law of Moses and the New Testiment.
See how simple that is? Now we can get rid of each and every religious issue that has to do with the State. Keep them forever divorced. And no, Christian Nationalism will not work either, because once someone gets into power who has a different interpretation of the Scriptures than you do, well, we can just look back on the Middle Ages and what a horror-show that was.
Not sure what you are saying exactly. Are you referring to wars in those countries? Given the history of war in Europe, I don't think we can say that Christian countries are without war.
I am simply pointing out that Christianity is not the only practice that teaches morality towards others. Buddhism does also. Perhaps we could put our attention on teaching the practice of morality: preferring to collaborative work with others rather than preferring to be at war with others.
In saying this, I do not suggest an acceptance of all practices / religions / political movements. I would also suggest that we must also prohibit the practice of teaching immorality: that some group teaches their members that they are inherently at war with others. Certain cultures teach this and it must stop or at least be excluded from where we live.
We the People must have the right to choose. We as people in communities, can get as much attention as we can on protesting things like this. Or even sharing this story to all we can, We the People do NOT have to put up with all the crap they are spreading.
I like the idea of putting up a nativity scene across from this thing. With lots of angels watching.
Or we can collectively Pray for another lightning strike. (my favorites)
still a big fan of religious freedom. a crime is a crime, and this is not one. this way we are allowed to see who worships what.
Isn't tolerance great?
There was a time in this country that the statue would have been dragged into the streets and burned along with those that put it up.
Yep, literally anything before christ with these vermin.
You sound like a Muslim, ready to throw out the first amendment and kill people because your religious sentiments were offended.
We can only self limit whatever we decide to follow. Any rule against them becomes a rule against us.
And you sound like a Satanist POS that wants the nation transformed from the Christian nation it was founded as.
Please keep talking, I want more people to see what you're really like.

Ever heard of Buddhism?
Such assertions as yours are uninformed.
Yea, and how have Sri Lanka and Cambodia faired? I sure ain't moving there

I'm looking for the Nativity scene...
We wrestle not against flesh and blood
We need to pray that God topples this idol as He toppled the idol Dagon.
What happened to separation of church and state
that's a masonic concept.
Yupp. So many people don't realize that
Masons all breath oxygen, you gonna hold your breath now.
Or maybe you could evaluate ideas on their own merit.
What a fucking strange comment with a huge logic jump and a weird assumption.
Maybe you could contribute a comment of value next time or try holding your breath?
X is a masonic idea, therefore X is bad
