67. huh?
Edited on Thu Aug-21-03 02:56 PM by sujan
Is that art? Or is Salvador Dali pushing his faith on you?

> if it were to posted in a court house, would it be? Beats me...It is not only an endorsement of christianity but even more specific, catholicism.

You would have the nation shun all forms of religious art from all publically funded areas simply because you dislike it. Who cares that it has historical and cultural significance. You would have us ignore all the reality that shaped America in favor of what you would accept.
> No worries, this idea of religious interference will have to stop. It will but with time. It shaped america how? Even the founders were repulsed by the dogmas so they had to mention it in the constitution.


Secularism is forced atheism.
> Webster defines:

Secularism: indifference to or rejection or exclusion of religion and religious considerations

Atheism: a disbelief in the existence of deity b : the doctrine that there is no deity

Huge difference.

Anything that is funded by the public should represent the public. The majority of this nation and the world is does not believe in having a seclur society.
> Majority of the public is christian too, so now they get to influence the legal process with their dogmas? that's a bullshit rhetoric.

Oh yeah where are the fireman hosing you down in the streets. Where are the police releasing their dogs on you and beating you? Where are your own segregated schools and drinnking fountains. When were you ever a slave?
> dont be foolish now. We can see the religious groups trying to supress the voices of atheists by promoting religion in the government openly. Say like you, promoting christianity in the legal process. So far they have been mildly successful. It is political lynching in process.


You insult millions when you say Atheists are in the same boat as blacks.
> whatever
