More important than the religious aspect, is the fact that this display is not only going to antagonize
all of Christendom, it is going to outrage our best friends,

the Chinese Communists.

I don’t understand how the display antagonizes Christendom. It sounds like they put up the display to honor the Dahli Lama, who is a well known world figure. It is an honor to have someone of such world renown as a guest lecturer at a University.

Those who put the display of the ten commandments in front of the Buddhism display were IMO in the wrong. #1, they didn’t have any approval to set up a display at all. #2 they placed it directly in front of the display on Buddhism.

That kind of action reminds me of when my 4th grade son was running for student council and got caught taking down the posters for the other candidates and putting up his in their place. (He got in big trouble for that one) It is childish and immature.

If the Pope was visiting, I would hope that a display on Catholicism and the Vatican would be allowed. Buddhism is the most practiced religion in the world, and I don’t think that educating our citizens on the Dahli Lama and Buddhism is antagonistic at all.
