"but we demand the freedom of acknowledging our heritage (which is based upon faith in the God of the Bible) not be denied us or for us to be silenced or excluded by those who're willing to see all aspects of Christian morality thrown from this society in particular. "


No problems with that. Just don't use my taxes to preach your views. Don't teach your Christian version of morality to my kids at school -- my church will take care of my children's religion, not some gov't school that can barely teach the 3 Rs as it is.

I have still yet to see where Christianity is being silenced. So two rock tablets got taken out of a courthouse - so what? They're symbols - NOT idols to be worshipped. Not a single law exists that prevents you from praying to your God in a church. No law prevents a church from being built solely based on the faith of that church (zoning laws are another matter). I just don't get all the hollering from the Christian right on this - sorry.

You know, early schools that taught the children who became America's engineers, doctors, inventors, and patriots of WWI and WWII were founded and funded mostly by church-goers and were assembled in churches. Their percentages of illiteracy were nothing comparatively close to the government funded schools of today.

But it is okay to hand out condoms and free abortions, at taxpayer expense?
