I say MC but I don't care what others say. Even if they say nothing.

Here in the United States, we live in a Christian nation.
You can be anything you want to be here, but it's still a Christian nation.
On that note, an early Merry Christmas to everyone!

Yes, there should never be religious persecution in this country, and anyone who attempts to persecute another on the basis of their religion is totally wrong.
You are entitled to Freedom OF Religion.
Not Freedom FROM Religion.
Merry Christmas. |

Oh, I'm all for freedom of speech and freedom of religion. I think you should be able to SAY whatever you want. I just think that the whole "we're a Christian nation" comment goes against that very sentiment. |

How odd, since this whole debate has an air of Mommy, Billy touched me!!! coming out of the back seat of the station wagon. The whole thing is stirred up by a bunch of whiney Christians who can't abide the idea that some other people don't actually give two hoots about their special religion and choose to follow some other one or none at all instead. Poor babies! Maybe these folks should try acting like grown-ups instead of bleating like a bunch of five-year olds year after year after year... |

You choose freedom from religion for yourself. That's not the same thing. You can have all of the freedom from religion you want in the privacy of your own home. Outside of your home, you are not guaranteed any freedom from religion. |
