I have heard there are penis statues in Japan where barren women pray for fertility. Not sure if this is Shinto or Bhuddist.

Only because we didn't do it from the outset.

Were it part of our everyday life it would be no different than what we do now.

....this highlighted paragraph from the link, is what I was referring to.

Again, I ask, that opinions offered by SCOTUS Justices are, in your estimation, not "official?" I beg to differ.

Of course not. I was being sarcastic. But people have a constitutional right under free speech to display it. We are forced to tolerate it, yet a small minority screams at a symbol of the religion shared by a majority of Americans -- and everyone jumps. Christians are being fired from jobs, being shunned by others by saying the words "God bless you." Where is their right to free speech?

Are athiests, muslims and minorities the only people able to make a case for being offended and having some kind of court-imposed protection? Where does that right exist in the constitution?

So is God subject to the laws of physics?

I had heard the very same thing. In fact, I think they have a festival!

Judging by the tools our ancestors had to use, my guess is they went the easiest way.

[Ellen] Johnson said allowing the cross in the memorial would "insult the victims, rescue workers, and other Americans who are not Christians

Nonsense, Ellen. Only a (very) small % of non-Christians get offended by such things.

A couple of notes:

1) I thought the penis was the symbol of baal. True?

2) Last night at the follies, Sharpie Sharpton made the statement that there is a non-military civil war going on in this country.

God invented physics.

Some theologians would disagree, but I think God could make 1 + 1 = 3. But, that's just my unlearned opinion. I take the word "Omnipotent" quite literally.

I believe, Chancellor Kent was speaking as a Supreme Court Justice of the State of New York, not a Federal Judge.

In your #1, I do not know what you are referring to.

In your #2, what was Sharpton specifically talking about? I missed the debate, as I have no time to listen to mental midgets.

God Rules The Laws Of Physics. And He Can Break Them Any Time If He So Desires.

"Tax money must not be used to construct any sectarian memorial," remarked American Atheists President Ellen Johnson.

If I see this bitch at Ground Zero, I will (as Bob Grant used to say) "punch her dumb nose down her dumb throat ".

Personally, this athiest group offends me. Not having a cross there offends me. Their attitude offends me. Heck, their audacity offends me as well.

Just who in the he!! do these people think they are to deny others the right to express their sympathy and condolances in their own way be it with a cross or not? That is an insult to every person in the world.

Mike

I wonder if O'hare is an atheist now.

Where she is now she is in desperate need of air conditioning.
