I'm curious, what is the religion of these migrants who can not be offended?

 What I quoted is from the OP.

 


Oh, I just think it makes no sense.  I'm not even religious but I can't imagine tearing apart their own church to make the migrants feel welcome.  Does that make any sense to you?  I mean think about your own congregation. 


The churches didn't have a choice.  The government forced them to... 


That is what I was wondering.  It just made no sense to tear apart their own church.  Obviously I know nothing about this particular church but some churches in Germany are very old & very beautiful.  It would be heartbreaking to have it ruined. 


 The church was not ordered to do this by the government. Read back, they offered the church as housing for the many immigrants and took out the pews to make room for beds.

Father Joachim Deterding, parish priest of the evangelical Königshardt-Schmachtendorf church in Oberhausen, western Germany offered his church to the city authorities this week, a suggestion they accepted “gladly”, reports der Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung.

It is the first time in Germany a still consecrated, serving church has been turned over to migrant accommodation, but it is entirely in keeping with the philosophy of the priest and his mission. The church website advertises services given in English for the majority of refugees who speak no or little German, proudly proclaims “Refugees welcome… we are all citizens with the saints and members of the household of God”.

Taking pews is not a concern.

But why take down any and all references to Jesus/God?

I've read other articles that say otherwise...

I have no issue with churches being used to house immigrants and refuges. I do have a problem with them being stripped of God in order to do it.

So they invade my house, and I'm supposed to not make them feel discomfort?  They are already being fed and clothed.  They need to STFU.

 They didn't invade your house, they are homeless and a church did the "christian thing".  How very kind you are to the homeless.

 But you said it on another thread, that hearing a prayer can cause pain.

So how? What discomfort can hearing a prayer cause?

 I dislike inaccurate assumptions and ignorance. I think people need to know all the facts, not just the ones they are fed to keep them hateful or resentful.

Oh, I would be kind.  Right up until they told me that they didn't want me to pray the way I do.  And I sure as hell wouldn't remove symbols to make them feel comfortable.  They should be kissing those people's feet.  Bunch of entitled arseholes.

 Yes it does, people present things with a bias to keep you uninformed or ill informed about the actual facts.

 A good example is Ohfour saying the government forced the church to take out the pews etc.

Its not fact and quite untrue but designed to make you angry.

When I present what I have found to be the facts I present it so that you can then make an intelligent, informed opinion. 

I am not taking sides, just keeping things real and factual. Does that make sense?

Wouldn't you know it? 

Italy: Christians ordered to “pray in silence” so as not to offend Muslim migrants

Kowtowing to Muslim immigrants was taken to a new dimension at a church in a small Italian town, where parishioners were told to shut their mouths and pray silently so as to not offend the illegal Muslim African migrants swarming into the Church and now living there.

As if it were not enough that Christians are being routinely subjugated and massacred in Islamic states, now Christians from this congregation are being forbidden to pray freely in their home church as they are accustomed to doing, so they do not disturb Muslim migrants. This absurdity is another example of the general encroachment upon Western freedoms, but this one was invited in by unctuous Church leadership.

Italian-Catholic-Praying-640x480

“Christians Told To ‘Pray In Silence… Don’t Disturb The Migrants’”, by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, June 6, 2016:

Some of the faithful hoping to practice their Christianity at the church of St. Anthony in Ventimiglia were surprised when they were told by Caritas volunteers they couldn’t recite the rosary and would instead have to pray in silence out of respect to migrants who are living there.

Caritas is ostensibly a Catholic charity, although much of its resources are spent on facilitating mass migration to Europe; the organisation even boasts that it contributes to and seeks to influence European Union (EU) “asylum” policies. Caritas reports that they have been distributing 600 meals a day to migrants in Ventimiglia.

After one of the female parishioners requested that the migrants be taken to another church so that she could recite the rosary, the parish priest, Don Rito, appeared and accompanied her and the other visitors to another church.

The Northern Italian town of 55,000 people has recently been overwhelmed with hundreds of migrants. More than 50 Africans have been crossing into Ventimiglia every day, hoping that from there they will be able to enter France…

Here are some facts.

These are muslim migrants.

They don't want any other religion but theirs.

And thsee churches are bending over backwards to take anything Jesus/God out of their church to suit the muslims.

And Satan is gaining ground with each symbol of God removed.

 Huh?  You are the one making assumptions - assuming people are offended by someone praying.  You don't have any facts - you are the one being hateful and resentful towards religion.

I just cannot understand how you cannot see how absolutely hypocritical your comments are.

I was wondering if maybe the prayer was disturbing the migrants who may be trying to rest and recover after their trek to freedom? Most of them come from pretty heinous situations and may be trying to get their strength back so that they can move on with their lives. It could be hard to do that if they are being disturbed by people speaking a loud - regardless of its a prayer or a poem or casual conversation. Just a thought.

 Wow?  Seriously?  Maybe it would be reassuring to hear people in prayer.  Sheesh.

While I believe that God hears what's in out hearts and minds just as easily as He hears what comes out of our mouths, I do think it's going a little over the top to ask parishioners to keep their prayers silent in their own church.

And please tell me how prayer causes pain? The only way I know it causes pain is if you are possessed by demons and need to be exorcised. Otherwise - how does hearing prayer HURT?

This is anecdotal, and would probably rarely apply, but there was a time when I was attending a church that had this one lady that prayed loudly. And when I say "loudly" I mean "fire engines wished their sirens could reach those volumes"-loudly. She had a screechy off-key (even when not singing) voice. To be too close to her would actually cause pain if there too long, or if she maintained her prayer more than a minute or so.

She took "make a joyful noise for the Lord" to heart a little bit too literally.

She's probably a rarity though.

 These migrants are muslims.

It has nothing to do with being nice and everything to do with islam.

 That was my first thought as well. If the situation were reversed, who among us would not need a quiet safe place to recover?

It has everything to do with being a compassionate Christian and helping those in need.

 How do the immigrants know what the parishioners are saying? If they have been taught to fear the "infidels," I doubt they would be reassured.

   It's a church.  There is prayer.  If you don't like it, go find somewhere else to live.

I was wondering if maybe the prayer was disturbing the migrants who may be trying to rest and recover after their trek to freedom? Most of them come from pretty heinous situations and may be trying to get their strength back so that they can move on with their lives. It could be hard to do that if they are being disturbed by people speaking a loud - regardless of its a prayer or a poem or casual conversation. Just a thought.


 These migrants are muslims.

It has nothing to do with being nice and everything to do with islam.

 


 That was my first thought as well. If the situation were reversed, who among us would not need a quiet safe place to recover?

It has everything to do with being a compassionate Christian and helping those in need.

 So putting a roof over their head and feeding them is not helping those in need?

In the minds of liberals, what you SAY is far, far more important than what you actually DO. So, if you say you care and you put a ribbon on your shirt and a bumper sticker on your car, then that means you really , really care. Versus Christian missionairies who actually go over and feed, clothe and build homes for people.

The devil burns when the Word of God is spoken. THAT is why muslims do not want to hear Christians praying in their own churches, the devil within them feels the burn.

I just can't believe the audacity of saying that churches that are sheltering, feeding, and likely clothing people are not helping those in need because we expect the members of that church to be able to continue to pray there.

What a ridiculous, ungrateful, stupid thing to say.

 I didn't see anyone say that. I believe flan was referring to the churches actually being compassionate Christians and helping those in need by going so far as to ensure the refugees can rest in peace and quiet. I didn't see anyone say otherwise.
