Perhaps if you had bothered to read the 1st & 14th Amendments & consider the implications of gov't being neutral in matters of faith, you would understand that the only way Xians are protected is to also protect all other faiths. The 1st Amendment is clear: gov't is to give no faith a Most Favored Status. None. If the majority in LFO were Muslim, would you --- as a Xian --- feel comfortable at a football game where the cheerleaders held up banners saying "Live for Allah?" The football game is a public event with public tax dollars & such banners give the implied endorsement of the gov't. Private banners are fine. Private speech is fine, even in public. But no private speech must ever be construed as having gov't endorsement --- that's what the 1st Amendment says on the Federal level & the 14th Amendment alos applied to the states & local municipalities.That Baptist Ain't Righthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227307740155986353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714280596892104880.post-71494345874401387712009-11-01T20:13:14.426-05:002009-11-01T20:13:14.426-05:00is it in the constituetion that schools are not al...is it in the constituetion that schools are not allowed to have any religious comments posted anywhere? seriously.. is it? i guess i could have looked it up but figured you knew where it was exactly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714280596892104880.post-59756409070241561622009-10-01T22:25:34.965-04:002009-10-01T22:25:34.965-04:00When will they ever learn?
