How to Pick the God to Give Thanks to..
2012-01-03 - by
A couple of years ago the small piedmont town of King, North Carolina landed in the soup because the ACLU or someone got into a dither over the town flying a ‘Christian Flag’ over the local Veterans Memorial.
Now, they’ve come up with a solution. Here’s how it works: Each December the town collects suggestions about which flags to fly the following year – then they put the suggestions on ping-pong balls, put the balls in a jar and hold a lottery. Here’s the result of this year’s lottery: The Christian flag will fly 47 times (or 47 weeks), no flag at all will fly for 4 weeks, and a Buddhist flag will fly for one week.
The good news: The Christian flag won.
The bad news: It’s a little disturbing when folks choose which God they should give thanks to by holding a lottery.
