Get a real tree, Nessa!

Thank God you can still buy a real tree in the U.S..... if you're in England, forget about it.

Ok, I'll bite, since when can't you buy a real tree in England? I have always been able to, so what's Mr Brown done?

Back to the OT. The constitution does not prohibit religious symbols on government property, only the mandating of a particular religion. Since the people own the government (in theory) then what goes on should reflect the people. A large percentage of Americans identify themselves as Christian. So Christian symbols should be allowed. To be fair I wouldn't have a problem with other religions getting equal time. On Jewish, Muslim or any other religious holiday a display celebrating that occasion would be cool with me. The way it stands now we have a vocal minority dictating what the majority can or cannot do. That isn't right.

That may be true in theory, but the government does not give equal time to acknowleding other religions, and in fact, the court engaged in fantasy to proclaim Christmas a "secular holiday". I have no pity whatsoever for whiny Christians complaining about how CHRIST MASS trees have nothing to do with Christianity, so why would anyone be offended by them being displayed on government property. If they aren't about Christianity, then display them in the summer. In fact, pretty much anyone who still has one up then is thought to have a problem. It's no one else's fault that Christians have allowed their faith to be bastardized so that even they can't tell what is part of the "holiday season" and what is not.

You've got a big chip on your shoulder, don't you?

Despite this being a Christian country. If i went to live in Saudi Arabia I would accept all there religious holiday as I am living in a Muslin country.

I hate to burst this bubble for you, but this is NOT a Christian country. Believe me, if it was, I would have left as soon as possible.

Saudi Arabia IS a muslim country.

Please feel free to do so.

You know god dalm well that when they put that on the dollar they were not thinking about the Muslin God. The official moto of the USA is' "In God we trust" and again this nothing to do with Islam.

It's the same God, by the way. It's also the same as the Jewish God!

Try this again, Allah is definately not the same God that Christains and Jews worship. If you study a bit of history you will find that Allah is a moon god worshiped in Mecca.
