Jesus Not Welcome in Colorado Springs

[Weatherman2020]

The government shall be on his shoulders....

One person complained, so Jesus is not allowed. Nation is run by haters.

City tries to curtail use of Jesus in ads on bus benches

 

[Blackrook]

The city expressed concern that it would be forced to allow "hate speech" on its bus benches. The city can solve its problem by not allowing advertising from anyone. But that would mean giving up on making money, so they take the less principled approach of trying to censor advertisers.

Someone should let them know that this action of saying that "Jesus" is akin to hate speech won't sit well within their Muslim community. Jesus is a mega prophet in Islam. So all in all they've been able to offend Christians and Muslims in one fell swoop.

What fools!

 

[The Great Goose]

It's a shame the church is still allowed to advertise but not use the word "Jesus".

Since Jesus is the only thing keeping the church good. Jesus didn't discriminate. The church does.

Why would muslims want to remove the name of one of their biggest prophets, Jesus?

They wouldn't. That's why I said that the fools at the transit council are offending now both Christians AND Muslims. A two for one insult over faith.

I'm sure the people of Colorado Springs would do everything they could to make Jesus feel welcome if he ever decides to drop by

 

[aaronleland]

It's a stupid thing to make an issue out of, but it doesn't look like it's going anywhere at least. The city has said they will allow the ads to stay while reviewing the issue, and even the ACLU is getting involved. It looks like whoever complained has only managed to waste their's and the city's time.

Obviously not many highspanics living there. Every other boy is named Jesus.

When I first read the thread title I thought Trump had built a wall around Colorado Springs.

dancer----have you ever known any muslims?. Muslims would be OFFENDED by any statement suggesting that Jesus is "god"---or part thereof. Of course the word "lord" can be construed as just being an important person------Jesus is not actually a "mega prophet" in islam----just one of many people muslims call a "nabi"-----which sorta means anyone who has communicated with "god" in any way. It is true that when a christian asks a muslim to describe Jesus----the answer may be flamboyantly MAGNIFIED------but if you really want to get a
candid answer----say you are a jew

He also eats at Taco Bell to immerse himself in their culture.

Bullshit. I've done lots of landscaping work.

A church that publicizes on private venues of course can use the word Jesus.

Mine is drawn from countless Mexican jokes.

What do you call a little Mexican girl with no brothers?

Virgin.
