LINK A Christian Wants Norway to Stop Calling the Statue of Liberty “Freedom Goddess” | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

This story is right at the sweet intersection of frivolous and insane.

The Statue of Liberty was famously modeled after Libertas, the ancient Roman goddess of liberty. That’s why the Norwegian word for the Statue of Liberty, Frihetsgudinnen, roughly translates to “freedom goddess.”

That’s very upsetting to Reidun LaFleur, an American woman (and Trump supporter) who currently lives in Norway and just realized what they’re saying. In a Facebook post, LaFleur explained that she just wrote a letter to the nation’s Language Council because she’s deeply offended by this.
