God and Live Earth?

Question

Did anyone catch the performance during Live Earth from the Lateran Church in Rome? It was a boys choir doing some dreck about mother earth or some crap, but they superimposed religious imagery behind them. Just having it in a church was bad enough I thought but to have the image of Christ involved?! We can't display a Nativity scene in public or pray in school.

Note to liberals, If I can't use Christ's image then you can't either! I don't go to church and I'm not sure if it is more harmful then helpful in the end, but quit being completely hypocritical at every turn and maybe I can begin to take what you are saying as something resembling fact.

Lief you got me all wrong. I don't mind the use of the imagery if I can use it as well.

Don't limit my freedom to use the images if liberals plan to do so. Get it?

It's a freedom issue

Answer 1

This was a PRIVATE (non-governmental) event. They--or you--can use any religious symbol you want--as publiclly as you want--on your property or that of anyone willing to let you use theirs. BUT NOT ON STATE PROPERTY. Don't you oh-so-patriotic right-wingers EVER read the Constitution?

Answer 2

If whatever you choose to do is personally financed, then show whatever you want.
However, I don't want ANY religion imposed on any gov't bldg I had some financial stake in! The founding fathers set up different separation from ANY church documents for that very reason! (I saw some document other than the Constitution that separated the US from Christianity, specifically, in the R&S section-I just don't know the exact title-sorry)
BTW-Whatever church was used had to INVITE any climate change advocates to use them (therefore, I'm assuming they had some say in what was displayed) and it had to have been personally financed since this is a WORLD-WIDE problem; not some US political issue.
So, does this mean you're going to use someone elses hypocrisy as an excuse to do nothing?! That's equivalet to jumping off a bridge b/c someone you usually disagree with says that's a stupid thing to do.

Answer 3

I caught the show, and it is being re-aired here as we speak, but I have the thought that this is not a question, but more of an opportunity to voice your dislike for how the concerts were prepared with a religious view?

Try not to let things liek that get to you, if you don't like it. Something tells me that you're already going to have a hard life if you hate the idea of people trying to push religion down your throat.
