...If the government is going to permit one ideology to put up religious iconography on their grounds, then they must
include the other religionsstop and take those down.At the moment, SCOTUS treats no belief as a separate religion. In our life times we are going to have to aim for the more achievable “all religions matter”.
SCOTUS gets something wrong, what a shocker. You set your goals for how much progress you want to see in a lifetime and I'll set mine.
I’ll delete this response when you let me know, but the quoted format looks odd. I respect your position from what I can gather from the weird format, so please take a moment to edit and let me know when it’s done. I’d really like other viewers to see what you’re trying to articulate properly.
For reference, this is what it looks like for me (desktop firefox):
So, looks fine to me formatting-wise. I read the intent to be that (1) they're quoting you, and (2) they're conveying a government building should not be a place for religious iconography, at all.
I'd be happier if there would be no religious presence in government buildings too, but alas, the SC has ruled for what we've got. So I suppose it's nice at least that we've got TST to help ensure our governments aren't playing favorites
It must be the app, Memmy, that I’m using. It doesn’t show any formatting for me, just double spaces where they began and ended their formatting. I still gathered that was what they were sort of going for.
...If the government is going to permit one ideology to put up religious iconography on their grounds, then they must...
...stop and take those down.
Out of curiosity, does the earlier post's strikethrough for the part I've now removed show up for you? I've heard that some apps don't handle all of the formatting options particularly well.
What is the formatting used to denote strikethrough on lemmy? On Kbin it looks like it's ignoring it, but it has
double tildeas a supported strikethrough formatter.It's the double-tilde over here too, not sure why kbin would ignore it.
Strike!

FWIW, I'm reading this thread in a Firefox browser on a PC and only the bolding works for me. I see the double-tildes at either end of what should be struck out text.
I’d put it on par with trespassing into a church and breaking the crosses. It’s destruction of other people’s shit because of the religion it represents but with no additional implications
Christians demand that acceptance while refusing it (literally to the point of violence) to anyone else.
The story of the last 2000 years.
