And in Bryant, when you discuss your Christianity, are you "used to it being shouted down," and do people consider you "crazy to publicly proclaim it?" Do the people in Bryant assume that anyone who discusses their Christianity "is a nut, a fanatic, and is shoving something down [their] throats?" I would be very surprised if that was the case.

I know that in my twin hometowns, Chattanooga, TN, and Houston, TX, public affirmations of Christian belief are viewed as perfectly normal, and it is not the least bit "shocking to hear any mention of religion in public."

So, are you allowed to have a moment of silence in your schools? Do you have a nativity scene on the courthouse lawn during the "Winter Holidays?" Are your pilots allowed to ask if you are a Christian? Are the 10 Commandments posted anywhere in public? Can your high school valedictorians mention Jesus in their graduation ceremonies? Can your city employees wear a cross on the job? Hmmmm??? Because if you answered yes to ANY of these questions, you can bet that it won't last. The ACLU, in conjunction with the court system, will soon put a stop to it. I think you are blind, atlaw, to all that is going on around you to stifle public displays/utterances of Christianity, or else you are in favor of it.
