Air Force Base Takes Down Nativity Scene Following Complaint « CBS Charlotte
I fail to follow the logic here. I guess the military had better start removing all the chapels, chaplains and chaplain assistants from the services.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation seems to think that any exhibit of a religious nature is a violation of the Constitution and I don't agree with the view.
Granted, the First Amendment says the government shall make no law respecting the establishment of any one religion, but that is light-year away from banning religious things on military bases.
I am going to hate to see the date when this form of political correctness reaches its logical conclusion and buildings like the chapel at the Air Force Academy have to be torn down. Of course, that will be long after the Christmas tree (or holiday tree) lightings will have cease, because they all are marking religious events.
Besides, whom does it hurt? Having a nativity scene on an installation little different that say any other observance honoring or respecting any group. If you don't like something, hell, ignore it or ask for your own display ... but I guess that is too much.
No, it is much more inclusive to deny others the privilege of honoring one of their religious traditions.
