Anyone whatever creed, colour or religion should be allowed to wear a simple token to show their support for their religion, if they so wish.
The key here is the choice to do so.
The issue is far deeper that a matter of choice. There is something far more profound, and more sinister going on.
I'm not going into the details here, but 'freedom' is at the very core of the Christian gospel. The whole concept of 'freedom' is under attack from the globalist political elite. They hate 'freedom'. They can't tolerate anything that smacks of independence from the politicised norm. Anybody who rejects the new 'norm' is slandered and belittled, even legislated against; which is why those who oppose the green agenda are called “deniers”, and creationists are regarded as scientific morons.
The destruction of 'freedom' is what really lies behind the dependency culture that has been deliberately engineered by the political elite. The destruction of the economy is designed to destroy our financial independence and transfer our dependence onto the State. The whole of the green agenda is intended to restrict, even remove our 'freedom'; a centralised and strictly controlled release of CO2 provides the State with total control over each of us.
Freedom to hunt, smoke, drink, eat fat, drive, save money, travel, be patriotic, and even hold a non politically correct opinion, have all been removed by the application of freedom-denying, conformity enforcing legislation.
It is small wonder that the cross has now become the symbol that causes the political elite so much trouble that they seek to outlaw it.
At this moment in time other religions are politically acceptable, as are their symbols. All those other religions are based upon a system of works, practices, and regulated routines: works that are used to justify their followers. The Christian gospel sets the true believer free from works of self-justification. In the mean time, the globalisation process is prepared to tolerate, even encourage, religions based upon systems of works, because they suit the purposes of the political elite in the march towards an obedient and compliant one-world global society.
However, there will come a time when ALL works-based religions will be crushed, and leave the Global Leader as the only politically acceptable god.
The fact remains; the abolition of 'freedom' is the real aim of the globalist. And any attack on 'freedom' necessitates the abolition of the true Christian gospel. And so the cross must be hidden from view.
