Here’s something no one wants to discuss.
The Tulsa Zoo is a filled with [P]agan deities. The elephant exhibit has a six-foot statue of Ganesha, the principal god of the Hindus.
When it was placed there by the secularists who run Tulsa’s publicly funded zoo, they claimed it was a “cultural symbol” and had nothing to do with religion.
The Hindus felt otherwise. They were offended by the prospect of children touching their elephant-like god and persuaded the zoo to put a fence around it.
In the rain forrest exhibit, there are several examples of [P]agan deities. That has been true in other exhibits, including the one from Africa.
And, of course, the zoo continues to display an exhibit on the theory of evolution, even though its information is outdated by even the most secular standards.
Imagine if a Christian wanted to put up a cross at the zoo or a display of Noah’s Ark. The atheists and the humanists at All Souls Unitarian Church would have city fathers take it down immediately or they would file suit.
The Bible is full of examples of God reacting adversely to idol worship. Ganesha apparently wasn’t enough to protect Amali.
Tulsa shouldn’t have [P]agan idols at a publicly funded zoo. The zoo should be made private or the idols taken down.
Until that happens, Christians should boycott the zoo.
More insanity here.

Yep. Basically a publicly-funded zoo should use whatever funds it gets to care for the animals or add an extra bench of two OR another restroom for the visitors. Period.

I agree with the nut on one point: religion has no place in a publicly-funded anything. If you accept one... it's like givin' the mouse the cookie.
