"Consider that there are Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. who are State residents and taxpayers and they may object to the sanctification of the Nativity Scene by the State."

Simple little question here...why are the people "representing" these fine believers not pushing to have the symbols of their beliefs placed in the square rather than trying to tear down one predominant belief? Seems to me that would be the logical and tolerant thing to do.

'Course commies really don't want fairness or logic or tolerance...what they really want is to eliminate everyone's rights to believe what they want to believe, including those you suggested....why?...because all religious organizations are a threat to dictators.

First they came for the Christians, the evilgelicas and then Romans C's where not far behind follow by all the rest...

Good point, but again in all fairness, perhaps the other people with other religions may feel that a Nativitiy Scene is the only one allowed in the State Gov’t bldg and perhaps feel intimidated to demand equal time.

I’m not suggesting oppressing a nativity scene on STATE gov’t property, but it really does have the appearance of an ENDORSEMENT by the STATE.

So a fair way to reconcile this would be to have a sign that says:

“This is not an endorsement by the State of a particular religion... Other religious holiday displays are allowed, please inquire within...”

And of course, there probably wouldn’t be any other displays having the pazazzz of a true Christmas display anyway.
