    it's also a secular belief, and many other governments, religion was just a form of early government to control the people

    Faith does not dictate government.

    Exactly. A country based on Christian values but freedom of religion for all.

    this country is based on secular values, list the values America has that you think are strictly Christian in nature

    maybe I will give you credit for slavery as some thought they had a God given right to own slaves, but that was ended long ago

    I gave a great link on the subject a few post ago. You must have just ignored it.

    Why are you ignoring the extensive well thought out article I linked you to?

    It would be redundant. Read the article and tell me where you disagree and then we can have real debate. Quit trolling, I'm not interested.

    ..."freedom of religion for all""? So other religions can display their symbols in December alongside your Christian symbols, right?

    If there's room go for it. If there's not go somewhere else but don't crowd out Christmas as the atheist did in the link I gave just to win a battle in your war on Christmas.

    In YOUR link there was room for three nativity scenes.....NO one "crowded out" anyone.

    ...and NO one should've had religious displays on PUBLIC property.

    Want a religious display?

    PUT ONE IN YOUR FRONT YARD.

    Historically there was 13 and the atheist flooded the application process to crowd them out.

    Isn't GREED a sin? Guess not!!!!

    So Christians bullying everyone to promote their faith is acceptable?

    No Christian LOVE and TOLERANCE?

    Have you ever heard of this guy called JESUS? Doesn't look like it :)



    WHY can't you put your symbols in your front yard and why do you avoid that?

    Is it so you can make up a war on Christmas??


    Do your religious beliefs become weak when you are forced to share space with others?

    Learn to read

    "For many years, 13 local churches and a police officer’s group have each sponsored a Nativity scene – 14 in all.
    However, this season there will be room for only three, plus one Hanukkah display, because other, non-religious groups had more luck in the city's new lottery for display space.

    I did learn to read....and AGAIN it says quite clearly, in English, that THREE nativity scenes will have room....

    Three out of the original 14. The atheist demanded a share of those 14 and won most of them in a lottery by flooding the request. Are you being purposely obtuse or are you really just not capable of understanding this, that's my only question at this point.

    WHO is being obtuse? You didn't seem capable of understanding that the nativity scenes were NOT "crowded out". There were three still left and YOU could NOT understand your own link :)


    This is just getting silly, you still have your cookies and football and gifts, all the things for you need for Christmas...the alleged birth of someone you don't seem to know much about...

    i Said a "woman wakes up...." now Foxie....there are at least a billion women in this world. You can't prove to me not a one wakes up with those thoughts. Remember, the world doesn't center around you. Not all women wake up with the desire to go out and castrate men to prove their womanhood. Would you deny there are women that exist that feel they have a mission in life that is both honorable and fulfilling?? Answer that one.
