Wait, you move into a religiously owned community (all the land is owned by the Methodist church and all the home owners pay a yearly land lease to) and complain that the religious community wants to erect religious symbols on their own property? People just need to mind their own business

Maybe they’d prefer it in the shape if a rump.

They object because a Christian organization is building something in the form of a cross. Now who are the intolerant ones?

“Members of the small seaside town’s LGTBQ+ community and allies are saying the cross crosses a line,”

Are Demon possessed people are always terrified of any Christian symbol?

Time to have the baptisms by the pier.

Only an anti-Christian bigot would think this pier constitutes “Christian bullying.”

I hope Tucker Carlson or Laura Ingraham picks up on this story.

Maybe 2 or 3 people are complaining. The press tries to make it sound like thousands.

That’s what the press does. Create hate and chaos. It sells. If there is none, they just make it up.

Since they own the land they can have sweet revenge if they want: have a portion set aside and re-zoned for low income housing and announce a plan to put up a low income housing development. Watch everyone scream and wail.

George Lucas threatened his neighbors to do this if they kept blocking him from building a studio on his massive parcel of land.

Clearly 90 degree (right!) angles must be outlawed in construction. That will eliminate any intentional or unintentional crosses being formed.

all straight paths are Christian bullying

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.

all small and narrow gates are Christian bullying

“Enter through the narrow gate. ... For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. ... But small is the gate and ...

All doors are Christian bullying. Doubly so for narrow doors.

Luke 13:23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”
He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.

Even many conservatives have embraced the notion that America should not be part of Christendom, but instead should embrace diversity as the false national religion.

A pier with three sections just gives more space for people to go and enjoy the pier.

A cross shape is the simplest design to make the most efficient use of space.

Honestly, maybe this country does need a good nationwide upheaval or natural disaster. Something to help people focus on real issues, like survival. Get rid of this take offense at everything crap. People have way too much time on their hands if this is the sort of garbage they are flipping out about.

“Once this pier is built like a cross, I believe that will be the point of a no return,” Martins said. “To say that cross doesn’t represent Christian nationalism, anyone who says that isn’t being honest.”

I'm starting to see the term "Christian Nationalism" used more and more...

Also..."white Christian racism"..., etc..

Just what are these people afraid of from us God fearing folk...?

Hmm....

the cross crosses a line

I'm positive I've never heard that phrase before.

The entire concept of Freedom of Association has been wrecked by 70 years of civil rights activities focusing on access rights by outsiders instead of privacy rights of owners. I get that racial segregation needed to be corrected. But for all stripes oftwake people—who know they disagree with an established group's policies—to barge in and starting complaining and suing? It has gone too far.

But a rainbow cross walk is just fine, right? It has nothing to do with intimidation or threats against those who think what that rainbow cross walk represents, right?

rainbow cross walks are specifically designed as threats and intimidation just like the large BLM signs and paintings on streets are design to do. And in these cases, it is governments who are creating the crosswalks and BLM signs.
