Suddenly finding this lunacy appearing in my neighbourhood.
‘Eternal Wall of Prayer’ outside Birmingham gets go-ahead
[theguardian.com]
Aim of £9.3m project is to encourage prayer and ‘preserve Christian heritage of the nation’
Needless to say this doesn't reflect the 'Christian heritage of the nation’, or the region, but the lunatics seem to have thoroughly taken over the asylum. Pretty much putting up a big sign saying 'This isn't your country anymore'.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I would try to organize a protest where all the non-Christians living in the community march holding signs saying, "I am a member of the community & I am not a Christian - where is my monument?"

JoeB:
I suspect the objective is to produce just such a response, rather than anything to do with christianity (the UK, after all has a christian history that stretches back over 1500 years, and many significant pieces of christian architecture, non of which looks anything like this proposed eyesore). The deliberate goading of other communities in the area in order to provoke a response, followed by claiming christianity is being attacked in a 'culture war' has become part of local politics.
I love that mobius design. It's a shame it's being used for something as ridiculous as a monument to answered prayers.
Maybe this will backfire. All the people whose prayers have gone unanswered (I know none of them are really answered) might look at it and wonder why their god answered all those other prayers, but ignored theirs.
I can see it now: "Hey God, why did you answer Martha's prayer to find her dog (that goes missing at least twice a week for a few hours at a time) but not mine to save the life of my cancer ridden child?"
