"FLAGSTAFF - ...
However, the Park Service decided one of the main trails into Grand Canyon may carry the name Bright Angel, and a number of the Canyon's formations can share the names of Hindu gods."

It is ONLY the Judeo/Christian religions that are being attacked. The Bible is what this nation and it's Founding Fathers read and believed. Can't have any of that.
Hindu gods; now they should be kept and preserved for everyone to learn and remember. I mean, just look at the great 3rd world nation that the Hindu religion has built. If you see someone lying in a gutter, you can just turn away and say that it is their Karma, don't interfere. And while we're at it, let's embrace the Caste system. Hindu gods, yeah, let's name more of our country after them.

The Bright Angel trail is named for a rock stratum in the area. If they want to change THAT name, they might actually have to consult somebody outside the Park Service. Removing a Psalm from the Hermit's Rest is bureaucratically safe.

Btw, where do people get off assuming that posting a Psalm automatically confers endorsement of Christianity? Last I heard, it wasn't Christians that wrote the Psalms. Did I miss something?

When I saw the plaques at the Canyon, I had no idea who had donated them, and I still don't. I never heard of the "Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary" and I couldn't tell (without looking it up) what they are, other than that they are probably not Jewish. And, as far as Americans go, they are officially second-class citizens now.

Can you tell I'm a little. . . upset?
