THE NATIVITY

Is It Such A Crime?

Published on December 23, 2003 By GemCityJoe In Current Events

I would like to know just what it is about a nativity scene,
that when someone drives by in their car and sees it,
that it causes them to get all worked up?

I don't find the religious symbols of others offensive.
It just makes me feel glad to know that other people
are celebrating something that makes them happy.

I once went to the Greek Orthodox church with my
good friend, Nicholas Leonnodis Sarakatasannis.
We'll call him Nick for short.
Although, I knew not a thing about the Greek culture,
Nick and I had a wonderful time that day.
All the people were very friendly.
They didn't seem to mind that I wasn't Greek.
The food was lovely. I had never tried Greek food before.

Are people so insecure in what they believe, that they
feel the need to be offended with what others believe?
When I was a kid growing up, I can remember this and
that being said about someone putting up a nativity scene
or some kind of religious symbol but, it seems like this
Christmas has been notorious for the backlash.

Are we to become like the Palestinians and Jews?
Is it such a crime to put up a nativity or a star of David?
Please people, give it a rest!
