It's also religion.So what, it doesn't make it any less cultural. Are you offended if a courthouse DOESN'T put a nativity scene on their property? So why should they? Of course not. I'm not even all that religious. In fact, I hate organized religions. I don't care either way though. I don't care if they put a Menorah there or not either though. Of course there is. Shavuot could fall on May 19th in a particular year. That's a "cultural" occurence. Splitting hairs now? May 19th was totally pulled out of the air. You can just as well put any date in it's place. That is where you are wrong. All objects have some sort of meaning. It means that the government wants to celebrate religious holidays and celebrates the holidays of other religions in order to make things equal. If everyone doesn't celebrate every religious holiday, why must the state? It doesn't mean anything to those that don't observe those holidays, and if any culture/race/religion has the option have having something placed there, than what difference does it make. |
