If you wish to come to my house, you don't tell me to do things to offend God!
If things in my house should offend you, don't come at all; it's that simple!
Lame excuses. If the guys did remove, they do not deserve any respect.
PM's aides orders St John's Cathedral to remove crucifixes and banning of singing hymns at St John's Cathedral constitute a violation of religious freedom guaranteed under Article 3(1) of the Federal Constitution
By Dr Chen Man Hin (DAP Life Advisor)
The excuse given by the PM's aides that the crucifixes would be offensive to the Prime Minister while visiting the church and grounds borders on the ridiculous.
Malaysia has diplomatic relations with many Christian countries in the West, South America and the Phillipines. Crucifixes decorate many public buildings in these countries. Would the aides issue orders to Christian countries in the West and South America to take down or remove the crucifixes when the Prime Minister of Malaysia visits the said countries?
Church buildings and grounds are sacred areas to Christians especially Catholics. Crucifixes are sacred. So are the religious rites and singing of hymns. Forcible removal of crucifixes in churches would constitute an act of sacriliege. The orders by the PM's aides are therefore sacrilegious.
