Euro Supermarket Chain Airbrush Cross Out

Iconic Greek Church's Cross removed from add

Removing the symbol of the cross from an add is another example of political correctness and a disdain for Christianity run amok. European grocery store chain Lidl apparently has such a problem with the Christian symbol that it airbrushed it out of one of the worlds most iconic and picturesque images of culture and religion.

The image of the blue domed Orthodox church on the Greek Isle of Santorini is known and adored the world over, and it is used in Lidl's product labels for their Greek yogurt. But the supermarket has taken it upon themselves to remove the cross from the image in the name of diversity.

It's such a relief to know that companies like Lidl are sparing unsuspecting European yogurt consumers from having to view such a provocative symbol when slurping up overpriced spoiled milk and processed fruit while pretending to be on a diet.

One has to wonder about all the sacrifice, turmoil, and effort Christians had to make to build and sustain such a beautiful structure. But nevermind that. Christianity went on some crusades or something. So, go a head and use the image of a building built on the backs of Christians over the few century's to sell, sell, sell for profit. At least, you could have given them a nod by not pretending they never existed. Nah, that smacks too much of appreciation and gratitude.
