I really have problems with this statement. So you would have someone deface the grave of someone else just because others may perceive the stone laid upon it could represent evil? Sorry but I find that to be very disrespectful no matter whose grave you are talking about. Maybe in your attempt to expose SDA "evil" you have lost sight of common decensy. Would you take it upon yourself to remove or change the burial site of your loved one because you could find fault in their choice of headstones? I doubt it, and the mere mention of it would probably find feelings of anger rising up within you. Would that not offend you?
But lets not stop at just SDA's, lets go to all the other denominations and get rid of any headstones in the shape of obelisks, angels, crosses, or fish. Because obviously, all those people must be Satanists since they chose phallic, idolatrous, or pagan symbolism for their resting stones. Get the point? This is such a rediculous conversation that people will go to trying to put a spin on their hidden agenda. Its ok to say that we should change the headstone of Ellen White or other SDAs, but once we point out that there are other christians who bear those same things on there graves, it all of a sudden makes no difference.
Now that my rant is over, someone else brought up condemning Easter or Christmas. I don't have a problem if a Christian wants to celebrate those days. My problem comes when Christians knowingly make Christ an afterthought and take a backseat to the secular events that surround the day. If one wants to observe Easter as a day for remembering that Christ died for our sins and was resurrected as our promise then thats great. But when they fill baskets with eggs and tell lies about an Easter bunnies, I question what any of that has to do with Christ. Or when Santa, Christmas trees, and presents become the main reason for Christmas observance. What lessons do we promote to our children when we include these things in our walks with Christ? That yes Jesus is special, but all these other things are more fun and much more important to those particular days. Then we wonder why so many fall away from God and get sucked up into the world. Now before any say "well thats just SDA thoughts" I challenge you to type in your search engine and do some research. We are not the only denomination that sees it the same way. Most Protestant denominations have information out their proclaiming the same things. My actual information into the history of these holidays comes not from SDA but from secular sources. So maybe then we can put away the vendetta against those SDAs (or any other Christian for that matter) who advocate actually making Christ the center of the day and not the secular world.
