It appears one whose ideology, beliefs and values can become so challenged just by the mere glimpse of a nativity scene brings into question the sanity of that person.

To have the government “protect” you from having to look at it is ridiculous.

For a judge to rule on it is preposterous.

The Constitution was not written for judges or lawyers to interpret, but was written to the common citizen for their security and enlightenment.

Lawyers and judges twist the simple, obvious language to make the Constitution say exactly the opposite of what it does say.

If I was offended by a nativity scene, I would take the personal initiative and close my eyes and choose not to look at it. Don’t need government intervention at all.

My question is, why do you need to see a nativity scene on government property when there are so many churches, and so much private property, to host them?

Why does the government have to also be an organ of religious expression?

I don't understand the insecurity of Christians who feel they need to leverage government property to spread their message.
