Party Poopers

From the Rutherford Institute:

One of the most touching calls to come our way this Christmas was from a parent whose child wanted to bring a birthday cake for Jesus to his holiday party at school. A flier, decorated with a menorah and a girl with a wreath of candles on her head, had been sent out instructing the students to bring some kind of food that their family traditionally had for the holidays. But the little boy’s teacher claimed that a birthday cake for Jesus would not be allowed because it was “too religious and the party is not about religion.”

Then what, pray tell, is the party about? They never answer this question. The modern definition of tolerance is not to offend those who have expressed no outrage, all at the expense of Christians. With followers of Christ, the standard is different. Not only is offending them permissible, it is downright mandatory.
