I get the distinct impression that desire for government advocacy of religion is proportional to whether or not the religion advocated is near and dear to the individual.

If the billionaire Saudi and Kuwaiti Kings, on thrones secured with American lives and tax dollars, outbid the Christians, would you rethink your proposal?

If you think Christians are going to give up our freedom to worship just so we can deny freedom to others, then you are wrong.

Any RFP can state a dates that the advertising will run.

I get the distinct impression that you might not know much about American culture and how Christians are a big part of the population you see every day. Should the State ignore or suppress only some groups? Are you forced to worship Jesus in this country because you are reminded at Christmas that you are surrounded by ‘em? We can only recognize the p.c. commie’s groups representation in the population and Marxist belief structures as represented by the city? What a dull and ugly society we would be.

The city can’t just put one religion’s display up and reject all the others. So if the Muslims, Jews, Hindus, etc. want the city to put up a big holiday symbol that makes them happy, I am not going to wet my pants about it. If the witches want to put up Halloween decorations to celebrate demons...wait, that happens without moaning at city all every October!

Diversity runs deeper than a man’s hide. The founders knew that and did not want the state to suppress religion. Putting up a nativity scene is not oppressing this tight assed suer. He’s stupid and mean. He would be happier in the Soviet Union. Everything was grey and dead.

It would show the city respects the FACT of religious celebration in this Nation that has come about because of the first amendment. Most days are atheists’ display. Nothing in the yard of city hall. The Scrooge commie wannabe has his celebration on most days.
