Please don't blame me for the fact that a predominantly Christian society expresses no urge to place statues of Buddha in front of their courthouses.

So the majority gets to tell everyone else that they are living in a state that officially recognizes one belief above theirs. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen here. It's a very slippery slope.

I have a feeling those other religions don't try to put up those things because they have more respect for the beliefs of others, or they feel marginalized by the Christian majority and therefore powerless to try to get their beliefs expressed in that manner.

Recognition is not establishment.

What?! No they don't. Are you ill?

"...you think other differently-believing Christians will not be saved. Now think of when this goes public, directly showing the government prefers one form of Christianity over another."

What on earth are you talking about? Are you even capable of stringing together a coherent pair of thoughts?

"Will the Jews have objection to Catholic doctrine being enshrined by their country?"

Their country? You mean Israel? Who suggested placing Catholic shrines in Israel? I didn't.

Get a grip. You're publicly losing it.

Do you find it odd that the 1st amendment has worked in this country until it came under attack by the loonies on the left? And now it suddenly doesn't work any more. You have fallen for the big lie, and I'll bet your constitution is a living document to be molded by the latest fad. It's a very slippery slope.

Really? I hadn't noticed. Maybe it's because the socialists have been pouring tons of oil on the slope.
