hey go ahead and take that away too ! I remember when my little city was so decorated and had a nice Christmas flavor it wasn't hurting a d a m n thing but all the PC crapheads wrecked it , at least I still have my happy carefree memories until you guys outlaw that too.

You think the state should be in the business of promoting belief or nonbelief?

Well, other than promoting belief over unbelief, and monotheism over polytheism, and frankly, Christianity over other religions.

Was the harm large? No. Was it necessary? No. The state can simply stay out of religion and everything would still function just fine.

It is impossible to take God away from the people. If God cannot survive without state sponsorship, He's a weak god indeed.

I don't demand that my personal beliefs be put on state products. Why do Christians?

It won't matter. In 10 years coins will be obsolete and cash will be slowly converted to a debit card system.

This way, we can let private companies put "In God we trust" on all our debit cards and the government and the ACLU can't do anything. WA HA HA HA.
