Is there some rule around here that anti-Christian=hysterical? The straw-man arguments are getting a bit stale.

I have no intention of being anti-Christian and I hope I'm not sounding hysterical.

I simply believe that mixing government and religion is an extremely bad idea.

Government certainly has no calling to repress religion - freedom to exercise one's religion is one of our most important rights.

But it also has no calling to show favoritism to one religion over another, which is what I believe the school is doing.

I think some of our fellow Freepers take that as anti-Christian, but it is definitely not. Such lack of favoritism protects ALL religious folks. If we allow favoritism to creep in, Christians will find themselves at the mercy of majority rule.

They don't mind majority rule, because they believe that they will always be a majority.

They take offense, because they like to be favored and believe that it is their right to be treated favorably.

Because, after all, they are right, and everyone else is wrong. lol
