http://news.yahoo.com/fc?tmpl....on_news Â*How in the hell does a court have a right to take that away?? And while I'm on the subject, when I was in grade school, we recited teh Pledge of Allegance every day b4 class, and I'm not screwed up because of it! Â*They teach history in school, history has to cover what our country was founded on, and included in that is God! Â*If kids want to pray in school or bring Bibles, more power to them. Â*The country is going to hell in a handbasket, it is about time some of our youth and elders for that matter, start believing in what our great country was founded on.[/b][/quote]
Welp, the problem is that some people are either agonstics or atheists (like me for example!
). And the problem is that I don't want to see that stuff in a city hall - as it's supposed to be a place for EVERYONE, not for people of ONE specific religion. It doesn't offend me, I wouldn't give a rat's ass about it actually, but some atheists or agnostics don't like to have religious attributes shoved in their face. And what if there are muslims, buddhists or wiccans that live in that city? I'd say it'd probably offend their feelings....
IMHO religion should be kept to homes and religious establishments, eg: churches, mosques, synagogues, altars, and so on... But not work or public places where people of different religion (or lack of thereof) meet on daily basis.
