George Washington's Church Says Plaque Honoring First President Must Come Down

[anatta]

I think it's bizarre to have these kinds of plaques on or near a church altar, for gawd's sake.

"The plaques, as reported by the Washington Times, are made of stone and emblazoned with the words “In memory of George Washington” and “In memory of Robert E. Lee” in gold letters. They are placed on both sides of the altar."

Yes I have. And the plaques and graves were on the floors and walls. I don't recall any politician memorabilia on the high altar.

Umm...so what?

Well maybe it's my Catholic upbringing but our altars have crucifixes, chalices and other religious items, not memorials to politicians.

I'm guessing that the memorial is not anywhere close to the alter. Even as big of a joke as Anglican churches are, they don't take the club atmosphere quite that far.

Why not be honest and admit this is about Robert E. Lee and not Washington?

A) The problem is related to the fact that there is also a plaque honoring Robert E. Lee.

B) The articles says that the plaques will be MOVED not REmoved. Currently they are in the sanctuary on either side if the pulpit, I believe. They'll likely just be moved to another part of the building, like a foyer or a hallway or something.

C) As the church leadership said... it's a church not a history museum. The plaques serve no real purpose where they are currently located.

Much ado about nothing.

A) Cry like a bitch, pussy.

B) Remove is defined as take away or off from the position occupied. To move, you have to remove. Dumbass

C) Strange how something that, as is claimed, serves no real purpose, was somewhere for than many years. Interesting.

I'm surprised Republicunts haven't raised a statue for Dylann Roof yet.

You see no difference at all between George Washington and Dylan Roof?

So funny watching an illiterate hillbilly retard trying to engage in semantics.

Remove, in this case, was interpreted to mean remove entirely from the building and possibly even entirely off the property.

If remove and relocate meant the exact same thing, they wouldn't be separate words, you stupid uneducated fucking hick.

Too bad you're too stupid to appreciate the humor in watching yourself try to parse words when you can barely read and write to begin with.

If it hadn't been for the educational programs they offer in prisons, you probably wouldn't be able to write your own name today.

Peckerwood.

That was one hell of a leap, can't take that question serious.

Remove has a definition, not an interpretation.

If it hadn't been for social promotion, you'd still be in first grade.

Nigger.

If they paid big money for being a dirty, low life piece of shit with zero redeeming social value, you'd be richer than Bill Gates instead of the poor-ass peckerwood trailer trash you are now.

But you agree that's it's stupid and anyone who advocates for the plaques removal is a laughable idiot lol?

Did you write a letter of protect to the church??

 

[Darth Omar]

Did you write a letter of protect to the church??

The plaque 'spoke to me' and counseled otherwise lol.

 

[Bill]

Do you really think anyone is going to believe your orange devil is concerned about anyone other than himself??

Only ones being dishonored today are a few of his employees~that is a direct reflection on him.. Have a nice day..

 

[Bill]

So why shouldn't there be a plaque showing George Washington sat?
