Not to say the Christians didn't take thousands of years to learn their lesson re: killing potential converts and "heretics" to prove their point, mind you...but they finally did. As religions go, I can probably, if given time, think of a few others that are further behind the times than Christianity, and of those, find one or two that possibly still espouse violence as a means to deal with non-believers...oh wait...that might be...Islam? You'll excuse me if I weep not for the poor, helpless, oppressed followers thereof...don't even for a SECOND confuse jihadism with going into battle with a bible verse on your weapon and a pocketful of money that reads "In God We Trust" on it.<br /><br /> The ACLU's once-honorable mission of keeping rights, written or implied, intact has become diluted by the you-spilled-my-coffee-you-owe-me-millions and the that-kid-who-sits-next-to-mine-in-school-said-Christmas-out-loud-his-parents-owe-me-millions crowds. The First Amendment to the Constitution basically states that there will not be a national religion or any federal opposition to a particular religion. It does NOT, however, state that residence in the United States guarantees you will go through life only exposed to signs, symbols, icons, logos, myths, parables, metaphors or imagery of your particular chosen religion.<br /><br />I mean, honestly, I'm an atheist...does that mean I have the right to keep the ACLU busy suing every mention of every religion I stumble across in my everyday existence here in the States because "it offends me"? I was raised in a Methodist house...does that mean I get to kill/sue/harass all those Wesleyans, to include my parents?<br /><br /> Hey, if folks from what we call India had settled this place and the castoffs from Europe had been second-in-line, we might have Shiva or cows on our money and our IT support might just have been outsourced to France...so keep it in perspective, and most of all......get over it.Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022837341633007730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938115.post-71569738691838851162010-01-27T00:14:06.818-05:002010-01-27T00:14:06.818-05:00Congrats Frankie, it looks like you scared them of...Congrats Frankie, it looks like you scared them off. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/jesus-rifles/story?id=9618791Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01058300102294715385noreply@blogger.com
