If Jews, Moslems or people of other religions don't like that: GET OVER IT. IT'S CALLED TOLLERANCE! I love it! If you don't like potatoes, you are still going to eat nothing but potatoes for the rest of the year --- get over it!
What do you mean, why? 'Cause I said so! Don't you know, this is a democracy, damn it! Seargant, take out this man and shoot him: we don't want him to spoil this democracy of ours.

HELP!"
You gave an incomplete quote of me, and your "logic" is just not there.
Religious tollerance is not watering down your religious expression so as not to offend anyone...its mainly, choosing not to be offended by the closely held religious beliefs of others--even if they are publically expressed.
A Christian who reflects and follows the teachings of Jesus IS OFFENDED by prayers that do not obey those teachings... Does that mean they walk out when the Rabbi or Imam gets up to pray? NO, we grin and bear it, respectfully bow our heads, and silently pray for the man, that he may come to a better understanding of truth.
It's a rightful request for tollerance to expect the same respect from them, when a Christian gets up and prays.
Nobody's asking anyone to eat potatos for a year...or is about shooting anyone.
You sound like a typical liberal putting words into peoples mouths when you can't form a solid argument in response to them.
