Is There Anything Equivalent To Grecian Formula?

Il Crocefisso e l'ignoranza

Since the Strasbourg Court issued the ruling on crucifixes in public places, I peered around, especially on the web (on Facebook if we are honest) to see what many people think.
A good chunk of users is contrary to the decision, but to explain why the most frequent comments that they use are "is our faith," as they come into our house and pretend to drive, "" are canceling the Christian roots of Europe ", plus a series of wrong reasons.
First: the crucifix is \u200b\u200bnot our faith, but a symbol of our faith. Our faith is in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross but also has also risen. Some never occurred to me to think of a symbol of resurrection and life instead of suffering and death? Continuing reflection on the symbols I came to think, but really our faith is so weak that if we do not see crucifixes everywhere ci sentiamo abbandonati da Dio? E allora non è sufficiente tenerne uno al collo? Noi siamo sicuri con il nostro talismano, e agli altri non impiccia. E' una soluzione troppo facile?
Punto secondo: la questione di andare nelle case altrui a comandare. Capiamoci bene: la Corte di Strasburgo è una corte dei Diritti dell'Uomo che non agisce per conto dell'Unione Europea, ma è un'organo indipendente, istituito con la "Convenzione europea per la salvaguardia dei diritti dell'uomo e delle libertà fondamentali". Non sono estranei piovuti da chissà dove, ma sono giudici provenienti da ciascuno dei paesi che hanno firmato la suddetta Convenzione. Quindi, anche noi. Se poi vogliamo dirla tutta, in effetti l'Europa è attualmente our house, we like it or not. We are dealing with this one room, but because we have chosen. If you really do not like, we can always unplug.
third point: the Christian roots, that is the biggest hoax in the history of Christianity. In Europe's Christian roots NOT EXIST! Christianity could never have spread so much just by the preaching of the community of the time. So when he had the temporal power, he simply duplicate existing cults around the continent, copying many rites and identifying the pagan idols with the Saints or the Virgin (previously named the Mother Goddess). Christianity is a plug! It 's true that nearly twenty centuries of history, but Who was there before it was probably even more! And then evoke the past of Christianity agree to a certain point, because for a millennium of its rich history, the Church as an institution has a combination of cooked and raw, and still remains a certain aura of mystery that surrounds the Vatican (and his bank, for example).
then indicate what I think is an argument that does not work: "They say that a crucifix ... the wall in the classroom, the students may feel offended Jews. Why should they feel offended Jews ? Christ was a jew and perhaps persecuted, and is it not died in martyrdom, as happened to millions Jews in concentration camps? The cross is the sign of human suffering "In fact it is not certain for this reason that a jew (as any non-Christian) should be offended (although for me it is still too much offense). It 's just the fact of being excluded. a religious symbol has meaning in a religious environment, as may be declared a Catholic school, where you sign up for conviction. We have absurdly declared that all the Catholic families want to send their children in these institutions, in public schools would remain non-Christians (ie, atheists, Muslims, Jews, and so on). What does it mean for them the crucifix? What does it mean for the time of their religion (or rather of the catechism, come viene interpretata in certi istituti)?
Secondo me la "violazione" espressa nella sentenza va intesa in questo modo.

Quelli che invece sono d'accordo con la sentenza per la maggior parte non sanno fare altro, per farsi valere, che dire "razzisti, xenofobi, ignoranti, rileggetevi la storia ecc...", anche se leggendo così viene il sospetto che la storia non la sappiano nemmeno loro, purtroppo...
