The congress is not making any law about it. I have said before they can't favor one over another. That was the basis for McLeary County I can understand if they limited it to "free speech" zones that anyone could use but that might actually be the show stopper if the particular government did not want to allow other religions to display their faith. You're going way off into "tangent land." It's perfectly OK for, say, a kid in a public school to say a prayer if he or she wants prior to taking a test or whatever. It is NOT ok for the classroom teacher to lead such a prayer. An individual saying a prayer has nothing to do with any religious group putting up a creche in the front yard of the public school, which should not be allowed. It's interesting to me that in this country, it is only christians for the most part who seem most eager to push their religious beliefs onto society as a whole through legislation, and who talk about America as a "christian" nation. I wonder if it is because these sorts of christians really have doubts about their beliefs and try to find security in forcing others to believe as they do. As long as it is OK for the government to use my tax money to build stadiums for privately owned and operated sports franchises that I have no interest in, I think they should be allowed to let religious people use a little corner of a public park for their passion. Well, I don't think it is appropriate for governments to be subsidizing privately owned sports franchises in any way, and especially should not be building or remodeling sports stadiums for the billionaires who own the teams. How about privately own farms, manufacturing entities, special interests, foreign countries, congressmens pet airports? |
