Reply #48: Why do you label me as a "right winger" just because I am Christian?

[Zebedeo]

Are you saying that Christians are not welcome in the Democratic Party? If so, you'll have to exclude John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Lyndon Johnson, JFK, Harry Truman, FDR, and on and on.

You'll also have to exclude about 70-80% of the rank and file members of the party.

And why? Just out of anti-Christian bigotry?

As to the substance of your post, you try to downplay all of the statutes and pictures of pagan gods and goddesses on our public buildings by claiming that they all represent "justice." Yet an angel statue is an unconstitutional imposition of a "particular flavor of religion." :rofl:

As you know, I mentioned all the statues of pagan goddesses in response to this post of yours:

How about a statue of a pagan goddess?

Can you say you would honestly be OK with those?

You apparently were unaware of all the statues of pagan goddesses on government buildings, and then when I point out that there are thousands of them, you move the goalposts and say: "Well, those just represent justice."

Tell me, what does the goddess Pomona whose picture takes up 1/3 of the Los Angeles County seal "represent"? What did the tiny, tiny cross on the Los Angeles County seal "represent," before it was removed?

Look, I don't want the government to be expressly promoting Christianity as the official religion of this country. Nor do I want atheism established as such. The government SHOULD be neutral as to matters of religious faith. But erecting an angel statue is NOT equivalent to endorsing Christianity -- any more than erecting a Themis statue is equivalent to endorsing Themis-worship.
