The Associated Press: "A conservative Oklahoma City suburb with a history of trying to incorporate religious art into public spaces has approved city funds to help pay for a statue of Jesus Christ to be placed downtown for Christmas, likely leading to another court fight."
That's just baffling.. Considering 10 years ago they had a ruling against keeping a cross on an official city seal, now they're using public tax dollars to pay for a religious statue on city ground? Can you ignore the Constitution any more?
ReplyDeleteAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in this city! This is just like them! When you pull into the city, there is a 10 story tall cross right next to the highway. All of my friends when I was younger went to First Christian.
Anyways, thought that was interesting. Edmond using tax dollars to fund religious structures is upsetting, but not surprising. When I lived there, it's such a small town that you know most of everyone, so I knew most of the city council and the mayor, and lets just say it's not unlike them to think of their government as an extension of their religion.
