Cake request for 3-year-old Hitler namesake denied

[graceandglory]

There seems to be a focus on Moral Relativism on this thread among some of the posters. ** The argument of “If we ban swastikas on cakes, what is to stop people from banning crucifixes.”

This is the slippery slope fallacy of course. Taking a stand for a moral and principled reason does not mean we must treat an immoral and unprincipled cause the same way.**

This is akin to arguing “if we outlaw child pornography, sooner or later someone will try to outlaw something near and dear to us.” It Can happen in a morally relativistic society that sees no difference between the two, but does not have to.

Christians are called to oppose evil, not to ignore it for fear of what theoretically could happen.

Did we forget we are to support good and oppose evil?

I’d make a cake for them featuring a large Israeli flag, and a message:

“Jews rule, nazis drool!”

**Kids With Nazi Names Taken From Home **

TOWNSHIP, N.J. (Jan. 14) - Three New Jersey siblings whose names have Nazi connotations have been placed in the custody of the state, police said. The children, ranging in age from 3 to under 1, were removed from their home Friday. They drew attention last month when a supermarket bakery refused to put the name of the oldest — Adolf Hitler Campbell — on a birthday cake.

State workers didn’t tell police why the children were taken, police Sgt. John Harris said. A family court hearing is scheduled for Thursday.

The other two children, both girls, are JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell.

Oh my goodness. I don’t know whether to be sad or happy about this, because maybe after the publicity CPS got a call about the family just to get back at them…and a lot of times the kids are taken before there’s any evidence found of abuse.

On the other hand, it’s possible the children were being abused, in which case I hope they find good foster parents for them and a good forever home. And new names.

Black people give their children names because they are African names or because they want to give their children unique and different names which if I might add is the whole point of giving a name… to tell a person apart from others. This is completely different from someone giving their children a name meant to offend. I checked your profile hoping you weren’t Protestant since some people on here already think some not so nice things about Protestants. I got a real shock when I learned that you are catholic…a good thing there are many other Catholics here who know how to get their point across without being offensive…yeah if you haven’t guessed it yet I’m offended. When I first became interested in Catholicism, the first person I met was racist and said a ton of horrible things about blacks in a Catholic chat…a good thing, I met tons of other Catholics who are not like this who are kind, caring and live their lives for Christ. It’s people like you who make me wonder if Catholicism is for me. I have to wonder when I’m one of only ten or so black people in a white catholic church how many more people are thinking like you when I introduce myself.

I am terrribly sorry I did not intend to offend anyone and certantly not to be considered racist by my brother and sisters in the Lord.
My post was distastfull and for that I apologize. Please don’t say I’m not going to Heaven for making a bad post.

God Bless You All
