Doug;

If anyone is easily offended do not read this post. You have been warned.

To be logical and consistent one must take the side of Tamar. There must be no reference even by inference to religion in any public place in the United States. If public funds are used to help subsidize any business or place where people gather no reference to religion will be allowed.

Now, what I would suggest is to abolish all public funding for any reason and all public places including schools. There will be no City Hall, State or Federal Buildings. Such places could be used by members of the public or government employees where people could display or suggest something with a religious connotation. Regarding public schools, why have them as they are a total failure. People have been known to say the "Pledge of Allegiance” in schools, and the word “God” is used in that “prayer”.

Take the stars off of the flag of the United States, because these may refer to “Christmas”. Remove the red, white and blue from our flag as these colors are used for Christmas decorations.

We must protect all our citizens from the abuses of others who dare to have any religious background. At the same time we must protect ourselves from accidentally doing something in a public place that may offend another person. Ignorance is not an excuse and avoidance will reduce the number of people being sued or imprisoned for offences of this type. So eliminate all public places and we will protect every individual from accidently doing something offensive to others.

God Bless America. Whoops, sorry to those who were offended by that statement – no – on second thought I am not sorry. Be offended – I want to know how you think and why. Let your emotions be your guide. Hope I hit someone’s button. This could be fun.
