What will Coach Craig say about his hometown city officials selling their stake in the Jesus statue? BC can't help but point out the intense regional and cultural differences exposed by this story. Can you imagine the public reaction if the LA, DC or NY City Councils spent $3900 on a Jesus statue in the first place? Notice that the legal threat mentioned does not come from inside of Edmund, instead it is from the DC-based Americans United for Separation of Church and State who were "delighted" that the mayor decided to sell. It seems a little unfair, shouldn't the community of Edmund, Oklahoma get to decide these things without interference from external groups? No one wants dogma shoved down their throats - not from the church or from the state.
