What if a mosque wanted to post "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammet is his prophet?"
For diversity sake, I bet they would put it on the highest post... "see we are morally superior for we are tolerant of Islam..." or some other rot.

What's the answer? I don't know, but I would refuse to attend any football game where I had to read the Islamic stuff... And so would MOST Of the men I know.

If it's all religions or no religions, I guess I would prefer none, in public places... I can worship per my own choice, in my home, or at my church building... Or in a non governmental public institution perhaps... like at a shopping mall.

I don't really want to see or hear sharia law at governmentally related facilities...

It is for sure the church's heart is in the right place though... good people.

Why would a Moslem or a Bhuddist or any person have a problem with that scripture? The only person that could be offended in any sense from that would be someone who lives in guilt denying that a God they know exists does indeed exist.

Perhaps we should get rid of all police because it reminds lawbreakers that there is Justice? When we choose to make the majority of anything illegal to protect the minority from having to tolerate the majority then all things are illegal automaticly. We become a society of intolerance and the least common denominator.

No society based on being inoffensive to all will ever achieve greatness in anything. We could never reach the moon because of the pollution, we could never have radio because someone somewhere would not like what was said. The greatness of society is the free expression of ideas and hashing out what is truth openly. Suppression of ideas is the sign of a decaying society not a thriving inventive one.

Where is the land of the free today? You cannot cut a tree in your own yard because some neighbor likes it better than you, you cannot defend your own family with your own gun because some government official does not trust you, you pay more taxes than you take home in pay, and you cannot share the most important things in your life because someone who is offended about life itself might be offended at you.

In the end, did America become the land of the free or the home of the Knave? You decide...

Why do I get the feeling sometimes that NC is becoming California East?

Never mind, don't answer that...

If the Kiwanis club has freedom of expression, you shouldn't discriminate against a church.

Whole thing boils down to the fact that school is a cultural institution, and that one-size-fits-none government schooling is Constitutionally problematic. Either it establishes a religion, or it establishes the principle that G_d is not important. Catch-22
