Originally posted by firstfloor View PostWhat do you think reading is? . What you are pointing to here is the unfortunate fact that trainee Christians cannot read the Bible. The reason of course is that a special interpretation is required to extract the meaning that Christians want to extract and the trainee therefore has to be indoctrinated in that interpretation. The meaning is manufactured by the faith and it can be rejected out of hand for that reason.

Originally posted by firstfloor View PostNo. The architecture of war memorials surely reflect the sensibilities of the time when they were built. I do not think we are entitled to rewrite history just because our own sensibilities might be different now and I do not think that a 90 year old war memorial has anything to do with church/state separation as it is currently debated.
But, for grins, do you feel that same way over the civil war monuments that are causing such hyperflatus from many?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
