Several search warrants were executed in Steubenville today. The city may be in denial over the fact that their head coach is a scum bag rape enabler, but at least the state AG office is taking it seriously.

A number of people have correctly noted that we must teach our young people that rape is wrong. That goes without saying. But the underlying lessons must also be taught.

1. “Squealing” is not a bad thing.

2. Empathy is healthy.

3. Propping-up your own ego on the weaknesses of others is shameful.

4. Consequences are important.

Hero worship and rape.

Here’s the background. The city of Steubenville, Ohio recently commissioned a new logo. The one in the upper left was selected. A city resident asked the ffrf to get involved and they contacted the city to suggest the cross be removed. The cross is there because Steubenville is home to a University run by the Catholic Church, and the silhouette is the chapel there.

I have made a sampling of alterations to the logo, to demonstrate why non-Christians find the inclusion of a cross offensive. If you believe, know that we non-believers are not offended that you have faith. We are offended that you push it on us. Just as you would be offended if most of these other logos were selected. But be honest; isn’t one of these options better than all of the others?
