BTW. NBU = New Braunfels Utilities.
The more the PAGANS curse YHvH,
the more violence will increase.
Would they object to “Keep Mohammed in Christmas”? Sure, that would be a silly banner but you know they’d let it fly.
I have that same sign firmly planted at the entrance to my driveway. I was wondering the other day if someone would make me remove it. After all, the entrance to my driveway is in the city right of way. Sign stays until futher notice. I put it out every year.
Money is their god I see.
They are wrong about their obligation to “avoid controversy”.
While it may be their obligation to not be partisan, that obligation actually means that not only should they NOT oppose the message some citizens wanted to hang their banner saying, they simply need to also NOT fail to hang a banner with a very different message, an “opposing message” IF THEY WERE ASKED TO.
Instead, it is their action that represents the CONTROVERSY by pretending they have some right to pick and chose which of the citizens have freedom of speach and which do not.
It is not their job or obligation to be impartial to only those citizens they chose to be impartial to, it is their job to be impartial to all citizens all the time.
It is not their job to predetermine “controverial” statements and by doing so they create a public controvery of their own making. They should be fired.
We continue to cut God out of this society. The problem is: When you remove God...something else takes His place. As President Obama said, we can’t stop evil...but we can stop openly inviting it into our everyday lives (something he would never say)...we can’t always prevent darkness...but we can stop this obsession with prohibiting the One who’s very presence makes darkness flee.
Whose birthday are we celebrating anyway? It’s not Santa’s or Rudolph’s.
Dec. 25 has been reclaimed by the pagans. The Christian Church should find another time to remember Jesus’s birth and keep ALL commercialism out of their celebrations.
