I wonder what this "christian" would say to anything that mentioned "Allah."
He'd no doubt have a shitfit.
A Tennessee courthouse this week unveiled the first of four "In God We Trust" signs, and one local pastor isn't worried about what atheists think because Christians "have a right to the democratic process and majority rule."
Earlier this year, the Anderson County Commission voted to put the county's motto, "In God We Trust," on the outside of the county courthouse, even though the move have been criticized by the Tennessee chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
"People of all faiths, as well as non-believers, should feel welcome in their government buildings," ACLU-Tennessee Executive Director Hedy Weinberg said in a statement at the time. "The County Commission should focus on doing real work that represents the interests of all residents, not sowing the seeds of religious divisiveness in the community by challenging the fundamental founding principle that government must remain neutral when it comes to matters of faith."
But during a February commissioners meeting, Anderson County Mayor Terry Frank's husband, Lee Frank, echoed the views of many who dismissed concerns about the signs, saying, "We dont need to deal with that ACLU crap here."
