There is a battle going on over a Cross in the Mojave National Preserve in the southern California Desert. The Mojave Cross, a 75-year old war memorial, currently has a box covering it due to objections to a religious symbol existing on public land. The Supreme Court will hear the case this week. CNN's website has the story about the Mojave Cross. It is an interesting read and it discusses some other recent Church vs. State cases. Check it out here.
Remember those WWJD wrist bands that everyone was wearing a while back?
Well, I just feel the need to ask the question. What would Jesus do?
Thankfully we have scripture to tell us. So, here we go:
St. Matthew 10:33
"But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven."
UPDATE:
The New York Times published an editorial about this story, available here. In it they argue for the Cross being taken down. For some reason I notice myself disagreeing with the NY Times' editorials fairly often.
