I wish I had that email I got so long ago to post here It said something like if the government politicians want to keep religion out of everything , then maybe we should not let them celebrate or take off work due to religious holidays

I had it when they removed the 10 Commandments from that judges courthouse and it really made a lot of sense

It had alot of logic like that in it that made one think


I've seen a similiar email. I agree to alot of it. But I'm trying to see both sides of the issue here.
I realize there are people who want to keep God in public. Heck our money says "In God We Trust" But one of the core reasons our country was founded was religious freedom and I am trying to see the people whose religious beliefs differ point of view here.



Yes, our country was founded on religious freedom but everyone that founded this country was a Christian. What does THAT tell you?

I don't think they were pushing anything on anyone. Most people never read all that stuff on walls. They have stuff there about drugs too. They are not pushing drugs there.


You mean they are posting stuff to promote drug usage? I highly doubt it.



Well, the supreme court DID pass legislation against the use of medical marijuana...and now they are passing some really screwed up laws...does anyone in their right mind not see drug use as a possible alibi?!

No no I never said anything like that!! I just said they have lots of stuff on the walls. Even cattle for sale posters. That is not making people eat meat. I don't care either way. But the more stink they stir the more everyone will see and hear what they fear so much. They don't make ya read any of that stuff. I think it is just too silly.




Whether it's the Rebel Flag flying at South Carolina's Capital Building or the 10 Commandments hanging in the Supreme Court's building there will ALWAYS be people that find offense with anything and everything that doesn't fit within their grand scheme of things. And for some bizzare reason there will be the large majority that feel that they have to accomodate these overly sensitive people. Sometimes I just PRAY for an over-sized comet and/or astoroid to plummet, not only into but deep within our planets surface just for the sole purpose of creating a large enough shockwave to wipe out not only us but every single piece of evidence of our entire history of existance just so future beings won't have to sit suffer multiple strokes while trying to figure out the logic processes of our specie's political leaders.

I personally do not care what religion people practice as long as they respect my rights and don't try to push their religion down my throat, i wont try pushing mine down theirs.




But it's amazing what you will try to push down certain people's throats...that's all I'm going to say...other than this...TUTUS!!!

The whole seperation of church and state was meant to protect a religous leader from coming to power and forcing all of us to worship their god. It's realyy getting out of hand.

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this:
You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians...It creates a hostile work environment.
