well, I want the athiests removed!
People who are offended at seeing crosses should put in some productive time at making a difference in their community: start a program cleaning up their city streets. Trash has to be more offensive than crosses. I suppose the letter "t" will go next for these twits.
Excellent!
BUMP!!
The law of probability would seem to get one of these cases before a common sense judge that would just say this is dumb and hit the ACLU with a big fine for wasting the courts time and resources.
Their answer:
The First Amendment says, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion......." It doesn't require a particular one.And my response
Did Congress put the crosses up in Utah?My point is that putting up a cross does not establish ANY religion. The crosses have, I am told, the troopers’ names on them. They are a kind of memorial.
Remembering the dead is indeed done by religious people, but I note there is a reference to Ms. O’Hair (excuse any possible misspelling, not intentional) on your site. Is your site a religious site? Clearly not, so remembering the dead is not intrinsically religious, though those of us who are religious might, as I have done, be reminded by a mention of your “hallowed dead” to pray the Fatima prayer for them.
Not only are you failing to show that putting up crosses establishes a religion, or religion in general, you are also suggesting that the First amendment as you quote it does not apply because it says nothing about what Utah can do, since the clause you cite refers to Congress. What law did Congress make that “respected” putting up crosses in Utah?
The ACLU has once again overstepped. They will be slapped down, once again.
Excellent again. Please continue to give them Hell!!
"Arlington is next......"
Followed by Gettysburg.
I'm waiting for the moment when someone stands up to these people and tells them, "How dare you impose your morality on me and my beliefs? Who are you to force your beliefs on me?"
I will die of a swelled head. Thank you so much for your encouragement!
BUT ... I am trying to give them Heaven. They are on the outskirts of hell as we speak and they clearly have (I hope only temrporarily) lost "lo ben dell'intelletto" -- the good of that faculty which was made to resonate in harmony with the Eternal Word.
