"You can do this all on your own without any help from me."

Not when you advocate putting your god into institutions my tax dollars pay for... Why is this so hard for people to get? I could care less who you praise, etc.. whatever works for YOU is great... however, why must I be subjected to your religious beliefs in public facilities? I will fight tooth and nail to keep religion out of the public forum, while you only advocate the benign and generally harmless Christian faith, next week... who knows what variety of religion we may be subjected to. Following me...?

If you fight tooth and nail to keep religion out of the public forum, how do you square the fact that the Congress that drafted and passed the First Amendment also created the office of the Congressional chaplain and reauthorized the Northwest Ordinance that specifically called for federal funding of religious schools in the territories governed by the national government?

"Not when you advocate putting your god into institutions my tax dollars pay for..."

No, sir. You have it wrong. You advocate taking my God out of the institutions that were cornerstoned by the Ten Commandments...the same Ten Commandments that are displayed in the chambers of the US Supreme Court in recognition of that fact.

When you remove the Judeo-Christian tenets of our Republic from the Republic it cease to be what it was created to be: a nation whose people do not need to be controlled by their rulers because they find themselves individually accountable to their Maker.

Read Alexis de Tocqueville if you haven't already. He was a secular Frenchman who understood the unique relationship of God in American institutions. He saw that our government was only effective in that it was for a faithful people. Take away God and America ceases to be what it is and it will become something else.

Frankly, since the atheist/Communist onslaught in the post-war period America has, indeed, changed. And not for the better.

I guess tolerance only works in one direction for you? I mean, you did refer to a "public" facility, didn't you? I'm public.

I have every right to "use" that facility as you do. If a majority of the "public" wants to paint the walls green, what's the big deal? Why should we cede to your demands to paint them red? Who the f*&@ are you?

And if a majority are comfortable with a display of the Ten Commandments in that "public" facility, what's it to you? It makes you uncomfortable?

Ah, I see. We all exist to ensure that Levy78 is comfortable. Give me a break.
