Christians; Quit Wearing Crosses to Work

This case of Christians being told that they can't wear crosses while at work is currently playing out in Britain...but you can see how the same case could be coming to America sooner than we know.

In a highly significant move, ministers will fight a case at the European Court of Human Rights in which two British women will seek to establish their right to display the cross.

It is the first time that the Government has been forced to state whether it backs the right of Christians to wear the symbol at work.
A document seen by The Sunday Telegraph discloses that ministers will argue that because it is not a “requirement” of the Christian faith, employers can ban the wearing of the cross and sack workers who insist on doing so.
The Government’s position received an angry response last night from prominent figures including Lord Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury.
He accused ministers and the courts of “dictating” to Christians and said it was another example of Christianity becoming sidelined in official life.

What?  No cross necklace?  No cross earings?  No cross on your belt?

Hmmm.... I wonder if they will tell the Muslims that they can't wear the hajib or burqua anymore...or that they can't pray on the ground facing east during coffee break?

Naww....that would probably upset the Muslims too much...and we can't do that because angry Muslims are kind of scary and can be kind of disruptive.

Hi Dennis,

Yep, Christians are being marginalized everywhere. Did you see that the Palestinian Authority declared a Baptist Church in Bethlehem to be unlawful and said that it will no longer receive rights as a religious institution?
