To understand what the fuss is about I think you have to put yourself
in the minority view for a minute. For example, what if you lived in
a town that had an Islamic majority, and everywhere you went there
were Islamic religious symbols on display. After a while you would
probably come around to the view that Islam was the "official"
religion and that everything else,


Well, not if you were in America and ever went to school..

I think you're forgetting that the purpose of this exercise is to put
yourself in someone else's shoes for a moment. One of the big issues
is that the parents in "other" religions resent having their children
surrounded by christian religious symbols. I think that's
understandable.

That might mean the christians have to tolerate a wiccan display on

including your own beliefs, was
merely tolerated if at all. Much of this debate started in the NYC
suburbs that have a very significant Jewish population. They
rightfully took offense at being surrounded by Christian religious
symbols, especially those on government property.


They really didn't "take offense" to the baby Jesus, it's only fringe
groups and liars that say they are "offended" by a couple of crossed
pieces of wood...

Ahh, now the uneducated, ignorant PsychoSnotty speaks for Jews.

Ah, the hateful bigoted Hitler wanna' be speaks for the progressives...


I am a progressive. You are not a Jew.


Are you sure about that? What a bigot. Lucky you are a progressive, the
willfully ignorant here will back you up...


I am sure I am a progressive. I am sure you are not a Jew.

Indeed, I don't even like the use of churches for election polling
places. The public's elections should be conducted in public facilities,
such as schools, firehouses, county, state or federal office buildings,
et cetera.

The problem is there are a lot of places where those facilities are
not available on election days. Our schools are locked down when the
students are there and the general public is not allowed in.
Fire Houses are generally not rated for "assembly" (the fire code) and
office building may not have an accessible area to set up the polls.
Some have security that prevents access for the general public.

They have tried to get away from church property here but the county
simply does not have enough suitable locations to serve all of the
polling places required.
They do choose meeting rooms that are separate from the church itself
if that makes you feel better.
The one they used in Estero had no religious artifacts in it at all
and the entrance was on a different road than the entrance of the
church itself.


Our schools here shut down on election day and the large assembly room
is set up with the voting machines. When I lived in Virginia in the
1970's, we voted at the firehouse.


Our firehouses are not set up as "places of public assembly" but we
don't have casino nights like they do up there in Maryland


When I first voted in NE Florida, the polling place was at a baptist
church. The church lined the hallway leading to the assembly room with
photos of aborted fetuses, just for election day.


I have never seen anything like that here. I would complain too.


Hhe didn't complain, because he just made it up... Harry is like that
lonely teen, telling whoppers late at night around the fire and
everybody there knows he is just making it up, but settle for the
entertainment...


You sure seems to be VERY interested in youngsters.......
