(On an event in which a church janitor angrily tossed Buddha and Mary Poppins statues out of the church)

Juniper:

I quite agree BigBunny. After all he was just doing his job, cleaning the garbage (a flying witch) out of the belfries. In Mathew 21: 12 & 13, Jesus chased out the money changers selling in the temple area. One cannot always sit on the sidelines. There comes a time when Jesus says we cannot be lukewarm, we have to make a decision, and Mr. Kenney did that. Pray for him, Jesus loves him.

I personally have zero objection to Mary Poppins. Fantastic film. Julie Andrews at her height. Plus, good lessons for children about manners, cleanliness and a reminder to parents that they shouldn't be forsaking their responsibility by dumping everything onto a nanny. I went to a Christian elementary school and I'm pretty sure we watched Mary Poppins a few times over the years on rainy days when recess wasn't an option outside. I object to it no more than Aesop's fables or other literature that provides children a good sense of right and wrong.

But Mary Poppins has no place in church.

The Buddha is another matter entirely, but also has zero place in a church. Burn it.
