I hate militant atheists. I know some atheist and NONE of them have any problems with Christians or Christian holidays.

Honestly, I’m glad to hear it’s not just happening here in America. The world has truly gone crazy.

the travesty of wearing a crucifix. /s

what about the veil and the burkha and other religious icons being worn?

Oddly enough, it is only the cross of Christ crucified that stirs up angst and cries of bias.

This is one of the reasons why atheists / liberal secularists ally with Muslims - to have an ally in the attacks on Christianity while being able to say “I don’t hate all religion, see, this monotheist agrees with me”.

They fear the cross’s power...and I’m an Old Testament believer.

Not a crucifix. She appears to be wearing a rosary with a cross at the end, and a miraculous medal on the shorter cord.

This distinction is important because media erroneously use the 2 words, cross and crucifix, indiscriminately. A cross can be a generic symbol for many religions and even just a fashion statement. A crucifix (as well as rosary and medal) is much less commonly worn and distinctly Catholic.

A crucifix is not just 2 intersecting bars, it includes the Corpus of our Lord (Latin = body). It’s interesting this lady wears a rosary with a cross, as the rosary usually has a crucifix, but that would really be “making a statement.”

Up theirs.

They flaunt the hijabs and other junk.

Never cave. Do it everywhere you can. And be armed.

The “Vampire Effect” strikes again. That is, those who hate Christianity are acting more and more like Dracula when confronted by a crucifix. They cringe in horror. Soon they may even feel physical pain, having trained themselves to have this response.

At this point, I am just noting it. But it is something that should be remembered. Imagine a judge calling the mere display of a crucifix an “assault”. Not that extraordinary with college students retreating to their university provided “safe spaces” just because they saw Donald Trump’s name, and it made them soil themselves.

If you do not like living in a Catholic country, then don’t.
