Muslim and Atheists band together
Gotta love a story like this one…
LANCASTER, Calif. –
A national Muslim group and an atheist organization are condemning comments by Mayor R. Rex Parris that the city is “growing a Christian community.”
Parris made the remarks last week during his annual State of the City address before an audience of mainly clergy and their spouses.
“We’re growing a Christian community, and don’t let anybody shy away from that,” he said, according to the Antelope Valley Press. Parris is also promoting a ballot measure that supports prayer at public meetings with reference to a specific deity such as Jesus.
“I need them standing up and saying we’re a Christian community, and we’re proud of that,” he said. On a screen behind him flashed a picture with a cross and the phrase “2010 Growing a Christian Community,” the Antelope Valley Press reported.
