By insisting that only christian symbols can be there you are oppressing people who are not christian. This was the intent of the statue, to rub peoples noses in religion.

Where did I say this?

"But putting a symbol that came from the Christian/Jewish religion to represent evil, right next to a Christian/Jewish symbol, is a clear and deliberate sign of hostility towards an entire group of people. And that's the part I don't agree with." The symbol means something to a religious group different from yours, that it stands for evil in other religions is not coincidental but does not mean that it is not the symbol for their group. Just because you don't agree with it does not give it less of a right to be there My point stands.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
