How It Works

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

--Matthew 19:14

UPDATE: Smash says that the story is fiction. To be fair it is marked satire.

Sorry to disappoint you like that.

My intention was to undermine the arguments of those who would remove all religious symbols from public view, by telling a story that seemed plausible at the beginning, but got more and more ridiculous as it went on.

Unfortunately, I really seemed to suck people too far in to my make-believe world, where the mere sight of a cross could cause a curious seven-year-old boy to abandon his parents' value system in favor of Christianity.

Anyway, the bottom line is that I want my fellow San Diegans to vote to preserve the Mt. Soledad War Memorial, cross and all.

I'll get over it.

Look at it this way: now you know just how good you are at spinning a yarn! :-)
