Thumbs down Moving on up

I guess were moving on up? It is the move of having little white crosses on the yards to a rather tall religious statue of a child praying in front of a religious symbol. What is the next action to try to violate the deed restrictions when the home was purchased? It is degrading to the various responsible christian residents. To put these religious symbols on the same level as a pink flamingo,etc is really a lack of respect for the religion that is trying to be "advertised"?

An endless posted topic. Logic? People? Advertise a religion? Over and over the same illogical discussion. Little cross? We know reality, my cross is bigger than your cross so I am more holy than you. I saw one home with three crosses on his/her lawn.

The thought, the argument, the opinion seems to go through most threads. Law well it should apply to others. It should only apply when I fits my narrative.

You didn't mention where this was, some of the older villages do not have restrictions.

Yes, it is also insulting to those of us who treat a Pink Flamingo as an important religious symbol.

Think about it. How many people have died because they worship the Pink Flamingo?

When the space aliens take over the first thing they will do is round up the owners of the pink flamingos.

Maybe the aliens have sent an advance force to earth and they identify them by the pink flamingos in their yard.

I hope the Church of the Pink Flamingo uses Marijuana for communion and not crackers and wine - I am all in for that.

Yesterday Marshall’s had a 6’ metal rooster, and a 6.5 foot metal Pink Flamingo. Today they are both gone..


Start laughing now, both will be in someone’s yard, maybe your next door neighbor

Same question in reverse: how many people have killed because they worship the pink flamingo?

I guess seeing as we are all (relatively) old folks we have to keep repeating the same things over and over and over.

There are deed restrictions which one should be aware before purchasing in TV. Comply with the restrictions.

I'm an agnostic, only enter a church for weddings and funerals. I might not understand the need to advertise what religion you follow, but I really don't understand why this is an issue. I don't lose any sleep because I see a little white cross or a star of David.

I see a pink flamingo as being warm and friendly, I see a little white cross as being judgmental. God loves us all.
