"We choose between respecting our God and honoring your feelings. I'm afraid you just come in second. Especially since you show no concern for our rights to religious freedom, religious expression."

"You have the freedom to believe what you wish, you have the freedom to go where you wish, and you have the freedom to ignore what you wish, you have the freedom to pray where you wish. You do not have the freedom to take away from others those same rights."

I don't understand how not allowing religious icons in or on government property is taking away your rights. With the statement that you will choose respecting your god over someone elses feelings is all the more reason for the government not to allow these icons. I will state that I would choose the principles of the constitution over your respect of your god any day.

My answer is not just over this one instance - it is the ongoing pattern of what is happening in our society. Don't think we don't know what is going on.

There is an ongoing effort to remove God from America. We see it for what it is and whether they are hiding behind "they don't feel comfortable", "should someone be made to feel left out because they don't believe in God?", their claims that the U.S. constitution means no God in the public arena, don't expect us to be bowled over with the justifications for removing God from America.

I ask WHY? WHY is there such an effort to remove any mention of God, the Pledge of Allegiance? There has to be a reason and that reason is either they are so far removed from God that they cannot stand even the mention of the word, that they are doing this to remove God from America and install their Allah, or someother unknown major reason God can not be tolerated in America.

Just what is the reason?

It is not because it offends the Constitution. The constitution has stood many years with God in the middle of all America. Why now the effort to get rid of that God?
