Cop PRAYS With Devastated Flood Victims – Red Thingy Cross Official STOPS Him, Because It's OFFENSIVE!
2016-08-27
"Nancy Malone, a spokeswoman for the American Red Thingy Cross, told The Advocate that the volunteer who removed the officer from the center did the right thing in following the organization's policy, which states that no religion can be singled in practice.

To prevent anyone of a different faith from being offended, the Red Thingy Cross has gone completely politically correct with a Spiritual Prayer Team that they prefer evacuees use, which isn't specific to any religion."
Remember this the next time someone muscles you to donate to the "United Way."

#5  Used to hear "oh, that's all the International Red Cross, the American Red Cross does good work in disaster relief". Maybe they do. But in this case, I think they've forgotten WHY they exist.

I know their founding wasn't explicitly religious, but they should be making a stand for tolerance, not caving to hatred. Tolerance means you don't get butthurt when someone else expresses their faith. Tolerance means you understand that others have beliefs you don't share.

#4  well they could always rebrand it like Prince did, with an abstract squiggle for which no word exists.

#3  Maybe they should change their name to "Red Thingy".

Don't wanna be offensive now.

#1  American Red Cross - I'll remember that. We had a San Diego ARC CEO that had to be kicked out for taking wildfire victim donations...and not spending them
