Too bad believers can’t sue atheist over the emptiness and hopelessness of having nothing to believe in.

This IS a Christian Nation, Founded on Christian Rights and Principles. If a Cross is Unconstitutional, whatabout all of those mexican graffiti on American City Parks? They should be CLEANED OFF IMMEDIATELY and all disgusting mexcan flags pulled and burned.
