"Would stand up equally for someone's right to post Koranic verses about beheading infidels? Or pro-abortion propaganda? Think that would be good for business?"

The fact is that it should never be considered wrong to do what's right, no matter whom the 'right' actions may displease. When there is a government sanction for some insignificant little display of our Christian faith then it is rightly called religious oppression, which we willingly suffer for Christ. But let's at least call it what it is, religious oppression, and nevermind diluting our faith under the guise of this PC balderdash of 'offending' others of different faiths. Christians submit to Christ, not to His enemies.

All of this dissention arises directly from our 'multi cultural' and 'diverse' mentality. We are no longer 'ONE nation under God', but have become one piece of real estate under many gods. That's why these little battles constantly crop up all over our country and keep us divided, and make us weak.

We live in an age where truth and absolutes have been supplanted by 'moral relativism'. In other words the new teaching is that 'truth is in the eye of the individual'. For just as long as people take this demonic bait we'll always have these devisive and unnecessary dissentions among ourselves. No matter what you may say, or counter with, I will always be able to prove my point simply by pointing to our entire American history, which has traditionally allowed the expression of Chrisitianity in both the private and public spheres.

Never before, (until this generation), has the Christian religion and its expression been banned from public places. From banning school prayer to banning public displays of the Manger Scene; from outlawing Bibles in public schools to removing references to Christ or the Ten Commandments in public buildings, all of this is the new-age America, and it severs our moral and spiritual ties with our American ancestors. It has little or no connection whatsoever with our history or our heritage. In fact, Christian truths used to be TAUGHT in public schools, and printed in public school books. Bronze plaques relating to Christianity were fastened to the stone structures of our public buildings, City Halls, Court Houses and Libraries all accross America. States mandated that businesses close on Sundays in observance of the Sabbath.

I think your problem is that you've never been taught that right and wrong, good and evil do actually exist. You take a stand with one side or the other, there is no 'gray area', no middle ground. You are either with Christ or against Him, (Luke 10:16).

Noooo...my 'problem' is that I see a difference between law and faith, and you're supposed to obey the one if it doesn't contradict the other.

And you didn't answer the question about Koranic verses of pro-abortion propaganda.
