First off, your comparisons are inappropriate. How are people actually harmed by the mention of God or Christ? What actual damages are done?

Now that would just be a matter of perception of harm wouldn't it?

A Jewish Family/Child may be made to feel ostracized if prayers or lessons that appear Govt sanctioned portray Jesus Christ as the Messiah -- I would say that that is a situation that could conceivably "cause harm".

Which is probably why the ALCU is winning a number of these cases. Unfortunately, this is a slippery slope the SCOTUS seems intent to explore. That’s why we have illogical rulings against some displays of the 10 commandments (not all) by a SCOTUS working from a building that prominently displays the 10 commandments.

If a Christian moved to Israel, should I expect the government to do nothing that might be construed as implying that Jesus might not be the Messiah?

Also I've noticed you've used the "SubGenius" tag for over 6 years. Have you forgotten that Bob is a "short term" personal savior? Or should we call you "Bobby"?
