I think Pat probably has a better understanding of the slippery slope of losing our freedom of religion than you do

Right, right - either we let Roy Moore and Coral Ridge use the state of Alabama as their personal hobby-horse, or we're on the road to tossing them to the lions.

You don't have the freedom to use the state as a hammer to smack people with your beliefs. Neither do I. Deal with it. And if your faith is so weak that it can't survive without the patronage of the state, maybe it deserves to die anyway.

I hate to jump in here but cant help it.

Christains are being forced to accept things THEY dont believe, among them homosexuality and abortion. But we want to have the Ten Commandments posted in rememberance of how our laws were founded, and everyone throws a titty-baby fit!

The ACLU condones the Murder of Children, The Decay of Society thru Homo marriage, Illegal Aliens and the resulting terrorism, YET THEY FEEAR CHRISTIAN DISPLAYS!

The ACLU and all those who would remove God are hell-bound.
