BA and the cross.
16:32 Monday 20 Nov 06
I actually had some sympathy for the woman who was fighting BA for the right to wear a cross. Some, not much. But she lost. And reading the report I was not that surprised and my feelings about if were ambivalent until I got to this:
“It is important to wear it to express my faith so that other people will know that Jesus loves them.”
WTF is THAT all about?? I don’t care about that religious stuff and I’ll be screwed that someone wears that because they think it does something for ME. Does it hell. It’s not some beacon beaming out a golden beam of love for us all to get bathed in is it?
You want to wear it for you – fine. Go for it. No problem. Enjoy it.
You want to wear it for ME? get real woman.
Does she have a clue how bigoted that is? (Ah you poor person who is not of my religion…. but don’t worry, my Jesus still loves you)

Exactly. I had someone last week tell me how they had set up a new church, and I might like it because it’s “different”. What made it different? Coffee and cakes during the service. Still got Jesus in it though, which is the bit I have a problem with. This didn’t seem to be a problem, and I was still encouraged to come along. As if I will see “the light” if only I let them show me the way…
“Our vision is to saturate *place name* and the surrounding communities with the message Jesus has for every one of them. We will not rest until everyone has heard Gods heart for them as revealed by and through Jesus.”
Which to me, seems annoying AND scary.

“BA said Ms Eweida had been offered a non-uniformed post were she would be able to openly wear her cross but had refused to take it.”
I’ve no sympathy for her at all after reading that last statement. Seems to me that BA have bent over backwards to work around the issue but she’s being a PITA about it!
