Christians demand that acceptance while refusing it (literally to the point of violence) to anyone else.
The story of the last 2000 years.
I’d put it on par with trespassing into a church and breaking the crosses. It’s destruction of other people’s shit because of the religion it represents but with no additional implications
FWIW, I'm reading this thread in a Firefox browser on a PC and only the bolding works for me. I see the double-tildes at either end of what should be struck out text.
For reference, this is what it looks like for me (desktop firefox):
So, looks fine to me formatting-wise. I read the intent to be that (1) they're quoting you, and (2) they're conveying a government building should not be a place for religious iconography, at all.
I'd be happier if there would be no religious presence in government buildings too, but alas, the SC has ruled for what we've got. So I suppose it's nice at least that we've got TST to help ensure our governments aren't playing favorites
...stop and take those down.
Out of curiosity, does the earlier post's strikethrough for the part I've now removed show up for you? I've heard that some apps don't handle all of the formatting options particularly well.
What is the formatting used to denote strikethrough on lemmy? On Kbin it looks like it's ignoring it, but it has ~~double tilde~~ as a supported strikethrough formatter.
It's the double-tilde over here too, not sure why kbin would ignore it. ~~Strike!~~
At the moment, SCOTUS treats no belief as a separate religion. In our life times we are going to have to aim for the more achievable “all religions matter”.
SCOTUS gets something wrong, what a shocker. You set your goals for how much progress you want to see in a lifetime and I'll set mine.
