"Funny, I live in one of the bluest states. I Go to the DMV or the post office or bank and people say 'have a blessed' day to me all the time. People wear crosses around their necks and have little posters and prayer cards on their cubicles."
But if a militant atheist were to walk into these same government offices and took offense at being "blessed", how long do you think that display of religious belief would be tolerated? Seriously, when the ACLU insists that a tiny cross atop an old spanish mission in the city seal of Los Angeles has to be removed, doesn't it seem just a bit extreme?
Absolutely. I think the ninnies on the far left are even more out of it than some of the people here who think Christians are 'persecuted'.
Here is a solution to the 'cross in public' issue: use another symbol. Fish. Alpha/Omega.
