Principal bans candy canes....

[Bassman Ia.]

Sadly this is the way the society has been becoming slowly.

There was a far worse story here in Omaha about a teacher or principal wanting to ban anything related to Christmas in her school including Christmas songs, Christmas decor and any words associated with Christmas.

The level of “I am offended by _______” has gotten way out of hand

Same person. As article

And yet people still deny that there is a war on Christmas.

Very well pointed out.

Only 32,000 members nation wide yet we are letting them dictate what is to transpire. That's how organizations like this get power, it is given to them by self subjection.

Not letting them dictate what is to transpire, letting the Constitution dictate what is to transpire. If a town allows a religious display on public property, they have to allow other religions to display on public property as well, which is how you end up with things like a statue for the Satanic Temple in a state capitol next to a Christmas tree and a menorah.

The Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, nowhere does it mention freedom from religion. Basically that means that our government is prohibited from designating a state religion. Extremists, however, have taken this to mean that all mentions of religion are banned from public governmental display. Prayers before a game or meeting or Christmas displays on public property hurt no one but the perpetually offended.

Stuff like that never fails to bring a smile to my face.

The bottom line they have more will to impose their beliefs than we do to safeguard ours.

Yup, to many people just roll over and play dead rather than push back. Lots of little freedoms we take for granted are being stripped from us daily.

Would you be OK with every public meeting or game starting with an Islamic prayer to Allah or a prayer to Satan?

Nope, next question.

As far as Satan worshippers go

I think you meant, "Jesus, people are pathetic animals." Without the comma it sounds like you're saying that people who follow Jesus are pathetic animals. Grammar is important!

One, we don't have Satan's side of the story. I don't trust that Charlie Daniels fella. Also, the Church of Satan doesn't actually worship Satan. They're basically atheists invoking the name of Satan to prove a point, and I can't say that I disagree with that point.

That’s fine as long as they let us pray too but they don’t want us to.

How does mr satan feel about candy canes?

I'd imagine that he enjoys them. A hedonistic pleasure like candy seems more up Satan's alley than Jesus's, regardless of the shape.

[m.t.hands]

In other news 1/4 of the world woke up today without being offended ... someday we might get that headline

no kidding

That's wonderfully open minded of you. (That reads as sarcasm, but it's meant to be sincere.)

Many pushing for public prayer are not that open.

Nope. Too hot down there. The candy all melts too quickly to enjoy.

well i doubt if satanist pray but if they do it would only be to mock Christians anyway and there would be very minimal about of them. Islamist have to pray to a certain direction I think on their knees so that would be tough to coordinate at an event. I think everyone should have equal rights but most of these people are doing this because they are anti Christian and want to take away our rights. Everyone should be allowed to pray.

I understand your point of view....I also understand why my city chose to do what they did. Can we leave it at that and move on?

Yes Sir! No problemo.
