Will you believe in God because God is mentioned by others in prayers in a building? Because God is mentioned on a monument? Does that make you believe? No? Than how does it bother your life?

Since when has all government been exactly as you wished? Why are you so insecure that you cannot tolerate seeing others believe in something and having the freedom to express it.

There are plenty of countries that have governments that rule what people can or cannot say or do. I suggest you find one of those that will impose your will on all others.

Would you be perfectly alright with the government placing Penticles or icons of Islam, or Druidic icons in the building along side the Ten Commandments.

If I was a muslim and had to go to court and saw the court house has Christain icons in it I may feel intimidated and that there is no way that I am going to get a fair shake in this court. Fair Government is for all not just ones who believe in Jesus Christ. And you and the religious right have no place in trying to intimidate people into your beliefs.

This statemant makes no sense if you are understanding what I am talking about. I believe you and all religious people have the right to express and practice your religion. The problem is when it is placed on government buildings it no longer becomes an expression but an indorsement by the government. Why do you feel the need for the government to indorse your religion?
