I'm sorry...

It's allright. I understand.

You seem to be part of the deluded sect of humanists who seem to think that so long as people are *ALLOWED* to do something, within specific places...perhaps at proscribed times...and with or without strict regulation...that their activity hasn't been infringed upon.

Yes, to you I seem to be, but I'm not. I notice you have utterly failed to substantiate your claims. As far as I can see, again excluding gov't time/money/property, no Christians are being prevented from worshipping whenever they please. Praying whenever they please. Helping the indigent whenever they please. Reading their bibles whenever they please.

Perhaps in some imaginary vortex of self-induced persecution syndrome, but not in this country.

There's no logic for such a position...quite honestly...so I'm not sure how to debate you.

That's not my position, so of course you don't know how to debate me based on that.

Please substantiate your claims and indicate exactly how they are logical.

"As far as I can see, again excluding gov't time/money/property, no Christians are being prevented from worshipping whenever they please."

The government's time and money aren't at issue. Therefore 2/3 of your point are invalid. The government owns the majority of property in America, so yes, there is a very signficiant prohibition against religions.

And yes...this prohibition is what you're supporting.

You have not demonstrated the ability to consider the meaning of removing all things that allude to religion from government property. You're focused on some flawed, and non-existant attempt toward the establishment of religion that supposedly exists in a work of art that merely has a Biblical theme.

It's not there.
