I have to agree with the OP.
If it is not EVE related it really has no business in game (at least not public chat channels or on cans in space.
This means RL politics / religions / national items / sports and yes by right that includes holidays like X-Mas.
I realize people mean well, but like everything there is a time and a place where things are appropriate.
These things are not appropriate, you can discuss them in private channels all you want.
What should be done about the cans.
They should be simply removed.
Priority for removal , LOW.
Let me say this again this is not about freedom of speech or whatever it is about a time and a place for what is appropriate.
IF people can't understand it then they need to go back to school.
On a side note personally I could care less I have cans removed from my overview anyways cause they are filled with nothing but garbage anyways.

Sorry but you didn't read my posts. I said specifically it is NOT a right. But it is a freedom. Big difference...People are free to murder if they choose to, they just have to understand the price...
Afraid not you need to look up freedom.
Freedom to do something means there will be no repercussions from the government for your actions.
If there are repercussions like going to jail or receiving a fine your actions are not free.
Example - you can talk about hating your government all you want. (Freedom of speech)
Now if you start talking about killing your leader you are no longer talking but now implying a possible action and that can have repercussions.

I just am having a hard time getting over the fact that this is EVE where any kind of griefing and scamming and being as cruel as possible to other players is encouraged and all sorts of lewd language and imagery that is offensive to religious people (not to mention extremely uncomfortable for the female demographic that EVE has such a hard time attracting) is allowed to be plastered everywhere, but "Jesus loves you" on a can elicits 9 pages of "we can't handle this" on the forums.
What happened to the whole toughen up mantra?
If you see religious messages in a bio or on a can, no one is forcing you to start an argument about it. Just acknowledge the person has different beliefs than you and move on, like I do when I see offensive material in the game. Don't force other people to hide their beliefs while you flout yours.
If anything, evangelizing is a perfect fit in a game like EVE where everything goes.
Probably because that athiest will be the first person to come over and help you out if a tree fell on your house or need help moving in , or fixing that fence or whatever in RL.
But in game they will also be the first person to scam , pod, or gank that very same neighbor.
This is simply about separation of RL and a GAME.
I feel really sorry for people that don't see the difference, one day they will end up in jail and not understand why they are there.
