If you want to wear a cross as a symbol of your Christian faith, you should be required to wear a crown of thorns to show you're serious. Similarly, if you want to wear a star of David to announce your Jewishness, you should have to drag a dead Palestinian about with you wherever you go. Fair is fair.

Really? I guess I'll tell my mom to kill one of her friends if she wants to keep wearing her star. Way to generalize. Jewish <> Avigdor Lieberman (who IS a shit that would be happy to do that)
NOT logic:
1. Claim to have logic
2. Throw a tantrum when asked to present it
3. Claim you've already presented it
4. Repeat step 1

So, you'll have no objection then if a teacher hangs a pentagram in his/her classroom as an expression of faith. Good to know.

I don't actually care for iconography when it comes to my faith.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
