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..

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.

Idiot...


Really? Virtually all the Jews I know live their lives in ways that
ensures their children succeed in school and are highly educated. If you
were Jewish, you would be the odd Jew out.


What a bigoted asshole... But it's ok, the willfully ignorant here will
still support you...

What is bigoted about his above remark? And your stupid surmise about
"willfully ignorant" is just stupid. All that you know is what FOX spoon
feeds you and you call others willfully ignorant because they want the
country to move FORWARD in economics, technology, etc?

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.


And I think it's bull****... We had Christian and Jewish symbols all of
my life in school... Even Kwanza after they invented it. And no kid is
"offended" by a shiny tree or the Menorah, honest adults aren't
either... unless they are already bigoted and predetermined to hate...

Would you or others have been "offended" if someone had put a pagan
symbol beside your cross on the wall? I'll bet so.

My guess is that PsychoSnotty spent most of his school days in
detention, and the only thing in the room was the blackboard on which he
had to write 100 times a day, "I will stop behaving like a horse's ass."

If it was an obvious attempt to mock my free speech, but those with no
moral core wouldn't see it that way. I noted before, post your symbols,
on your holidays, but mocking and bullying is not ok.

Cool story, bro!

I thought Snottie wasn't allowed in the public schools, probably due to behaviour problems, and had to be 'home schooled'.

It's a shame he isn't employable or just too lazy to get a job and
support his family in a decent style.

That's fine... and we won't mock them on Halloween, and they don't mock
us on Christmas. It's not the Christians trying to stop others free
speech, that only seems to go in one direction...

Really?

It is like the boycott of Chik Fil A, Whole Foods and Walmart isn't
it?

I am not sure how effective boycotts are but they are non-violent,
legal ways to protest.

I agree.

I find it interesting that the left extols the virtue of exposing
children to diversity and alternate lifestyles but, somehow trying to
tolerate religious diversity is evil.

No, nothing evil about it. It's that to listen to a Christian, they'll
tell you that it's the end all, it's not to be questioned, and to do so
means that you will be subjected to a very violent death!

They don't seem to understand the difference between tolerance and
"establishment"

If a government advanced one religion to the exclusion of all others,
that is clearly unconstitutional but if they allow the exercise of any
of them it is complying with the actual words on the page.

Complete BS. Christians can, and do, question their faith all the time. The only thing they tell you about being a non-believer happens *after* your death, it doesn't cause it. Sheesh.
