Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostYes, it is a religious symbol. Banning religious symbols from public land seems to stretch the First Amendment well beyond both its words and intent, however. Further, it was put up to commemorate war dead, not promote religion. Lastly, tearing down monuments of the past because some small segment of the population doesn't like them smacks to me of the tail wagging the dog.

Originally posted by JimL View PostIts a monument, not a headstone, it commemorates, but it also promotes religion. And it isn't about a small segment of the population, its about the Constitution.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

And it isn't about a small segment of the population, its about the Constitution.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by seer View PostNo Jim, it is not about the Constitution, the Constitution does not prevent religious expression on public lands, nor does it forbid school prayer, or even using tax dollars to promote religion - which is exactly what the Founders did.

Originally posted by JimL View PostWell, I'll take the courts decision on that rather than CP"s, Jed's and your opinions seer.
I find it interesting that atheists see bugbears in the mere presence of a symbol, even while calling what it represents an ubelievable, childish fairy tale. Why should you care if something unbelievable is promoted, when promotion couldn't possibly convince anyone anyhow? That's a rhetorical question, by the way; no need to answer it.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
