Quit with the silly questions about why are you insecure. These must be the new ACLU talking points. They have nothing at all to do with my reasons provided before.

To remove the mention of God in governmental areas, provides the government with control of our religious freedom and the progression begins.

I am against the government telling me anything about where God can be mentioned.

Apparently you wish the government to have the power to limit religious expression, to be given the authority to tell Americans what they can do at sports events, what they can do at CHRISTMAS, where and what kind of decorations.

Maybe you are Muslim. Well - I am sorry. I am no fool and this is the first step to taking away our religious freedoms.

Others being uncomfortable? That means you make those who want religious freedom of expression uncomfortable to salve the feelings of those who want only the Muslim god inplace in America?

I think our religious freedoms are more important than the comfort level of any particular religion. If they knew about America they would understand this country was formed to provide religious freedom and we intend to keep it.

You used the insecure remark back on post 1,102 first. I just turned it around and applied it to you. I still do not understand why you are so bothered by a religiously neutral government. If you what a religiously Christain country you should go to Ireland or some of the countries down in south America.

You seem so blind to the true concept of religious freedom you are starting to not make sense.

How is a religiously nuetral gavernment trying to take your religious freedom away?

It is religiously blinded people that would like to take away the freedoms of all to practice the religion of their choice. With people like yourself that wish to make this country a christain one, this is the first step. In Suadi Arabia am sure only Muslim icons are in government buildings, that I believe is the desire of the religious right in this country. Someone saying, "Well look christain references are on our money they are in the government buildings so hence it should be the official religion." No athiest in america with any sense would even try to tell you, you can't worship your God. But I am sure christain tell athiest all the time if you don't believe in god your going to hell. It's a small jump for christains to say, We need to save those people from themselves.
