Columbia, Missouri---A New York couple whose son died in Operation Desert Storm say Boone Countys decision to cover a Christian symbol on a war memorial dishonored veterans.
The Boone County Commission decided earlier this year to cover the ichthus, commonly called the Jesus fish but it has only recently caused public controversy.
Only two names appear on the Courthouse Plaza memorial. The Columbia Daily Tribune reports the parents of one of those sailors, U.S. Navy Lt. Patrick Connor, learned of the decision last week. They said the covering of the symbol was an affront to fundamental American beliefs.
The commission said it covered the symbol in June after Washington, D.C.-based group threatened to take legal action against governments that allow religious icons on taxpayer-owned property.

thus far its locked us into quite the tailspin..indeed
But, of course, same-sex weddings on the courthouse steps are highly encouraged because they are fundamental to what it means to be an American.
The world hated the coming of Jesus, and they hated the Prophets before Him. We are in good company. Let them hate Jesus and Christianity. This only strengthens my faith
AMEN to that.
Another AMEN to that.
ANYTHING but heterosexuality is a choice.
I was watching a "Will and Grace" rerun last night and Will, speaking of being gay said, "As if I had a choice."
NOW we do know that there IS NO "GAY" GENE and that anything but heterosexuality is a CHOICE.
BTW, that was my LAST "Will and Grace" viewing. I hadn't realized that there was an agenda, but there was: normalizing homosexuality.
Amen. We must not count on...a mass revival..although it would be wonderful.
I’ll have to go get one of those symbols for the car. Someone on our street has one on their’s.
I believe liberals will push to take away the tax status of Churches and force them back into homes, where they should have been all along. And the Church will grow because the government will condemn it, and homosexuals will report you to the authorities to try and get you arrested. Jesus said this would happen, and now, it is upon us. I kind of like where this is going. I was just thinking about starting a neighborhood bible study. the time is right
theres a real downsizing of most of the denominations in most of the nation..
I dont know where its going but it’s not particularly inspiring.
The “gay” militancy is all focused on The CHURCH.
Hell hath no fury like a pervert scorned.
Between the atheists who can’t stand a religious symbol and the Muslims who can’t stand anything about our nation and our holidays etc...I don’t recognize the country not only that I grew up in but that I served for 30 Year.. What a shame.
Go ahead. My church has about a thousand worshippers every Sunday, so I don't think home-based Bible study will suffice.
Please. Why else do you think would they generate this garbage?
religious icons on taxpayer-owned property —
What if the guy was named ‘Jesus’? Cover his name??
How about the Red Cross, and crosses on ambulances and emergency rooms?

. . . or as treasonous as the Obama logo.
This country really HATES Jesus. We’re through as a nation unless there is national repentence.
They should be honest and put an up-side-down cross on the grave site.
I congratulate you on the size of your congregation.
Have you read Mat 18:20 ?
