Evil only prevails because good men do nothing!

I wonder if GOD is disappointed at all the cowards walking the earth.

Hold on a minute. "No court of final resort has ever upheld the government's permanent(?) display of a Christian cross on public land as constitutional," the foundation's letter to Alsip states. So how about we just take it down and put it back up, and it will be called a "stick figure" for all the haters.
I wonder if tthis group also sues grieving family and friends, of those that have had fatal accidents, for their tributes on the public walkways and roadways in memory of their loved ones?

Wayne, that is beautiful what you typed!

PRAISE Jesus for His loving kindness towards us. We should pray that Jesus forgives those people in Wisconsin for their evil deeds! and put a lighted cross or a sign "Happy Birthday Jesus" on our front lawns.

Yes, exactly. You should all put a lighted cross on your own houses and keep it off of the public Alsip water tower. This is not the Christian Kingdom of Alsip.

Jon, buy a clue.
Atheists have been aiming to eliminate crosses in every corner of the hemisphere. They’ve sought to remove crosses that have marked roadside accidents were a life / lives have been lost. For a group that professes “tolerance”, “compassion” along with a kitbag full of other contemporary buzz words including peaceful coexistence, they show and continue to demonstrate an amazing LACK of what they preach.
No surprise there, though.

Um, if we extended this logic and had let certain people in the south decide locally who should be allowed to attend which schools, we may be in a very different place. This is a civil rights issue. You can't have three wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. The government is and must remain secular. Put a cross on your own house. There is no reason to shove your religious symbols down everyone else's throat with a giant illuminated cross on a public water tower. Nobody is violating your religion freedom by keeping the government neutral. If the government tried to come into your house and tell you that you were not allowed to pray, I would be there defending you.

Freedom from religion should also mean freedom from militant atheists with their overzealous attempts to squish any and all religious expression. Obviously, these aren’t tolerant people; they are bullies and anti-Christian bigots who use the threat of legal action to squelch freedom OF religion of all U.S. citizens. If someone doesn‘t want to believe in God they don’t have to, but don’t expect the rest of us to silence our beliefs for you.

Sounds threatening. How Christian.

A death threat to shoot someone, really ?
And you do realize that is the only way that you know of this religion of yours, anyone that descented was murdered, just like what you are offering to do.
Funny how you act like a muslim, oh wait, they got the murderous ideas
from you christians, my bad

I don't understand militant atheist grous that get so apoplectic over the cross representing a God they say they don’t believe in,when in reality they just don‘t want to be reminded there IS a God and if he’s being represented by the cross their conscience gets the better of them every time. That proves they really do believe there is a God.
Notice also that they are never attacking Islam, Buddhism, or any other faith.
I wonder why atheists are such cowards.

To Jay
Your god doesnt exist and I dont need reminding of that fact.
Idol worship is abhorrent, wanting to stick a man on a cross and kill him over youre irresponsible acts is disgusting, just for you to feel better about yourself, absolutely disgusting
Please make sure you dont make that stupid mistake again, thinking an Atheist needs to be reminded of your god, after all there are dozens of gods a lot better than yours one can be delusional over

So true. I didn't have the space to write that.

wow! Reuben hold the saur - kraut.

For all your posturing on the establishment clause, you foolish atheists seem to have very little understanding of it as written in the Constitution. Much as the Supreme Court has mangled this in the mid-to-late 20th Century, it’s no surprise that modern-day atheists would too, given that its perversion falls in line with their ideology.

Most on which the militant godless base their outrage has little to do with the constitution, but about further expanding the reach of Everson v. BOE, the 1947 SC decision that has held up over the years in a rather spotty manner. As the constitution says nothing of a “separation of church and state”, the “wall” spoken of by the SC comes from a Thomas Jefferson letter written 13 years after these clauses originated, yet this has been applied in the most nonsensical way imaginable.

Since atheists mention logic so much (despite their constant misuse of it), can you please explain the logic of how an allegory written by Jefferson should seriously be used as an authoritative declaration in regards to the establishment cause, despite the fact that that Jefferson had nothing to do with the creation of those clauses, and his letter post-dated the Constitution by 13 years?
I can hear the gears turning already.

FINALLY! An intelligent comment worth reading.

Poor Nolan,
If the establishment clause was seriously intended to mean that religious iconography couldn’t be displayed on government property, or a governmental body couldn’t begin with a prayer, then the founding fathers were nothing but massive, throbbing hypocrites, and we should be ashamed of them. These men prayed before every congress, the majority of them mention God at nearly every turn, they allowed religious symbols in and on government property.
The main problem the atheist has is a cultural one. Government is of the people, it reflects culture, and America has been and still is a predominantly Christian culture. For the atheists attempting to litigate culture out of Government, it’s akin to playing a game of Whack-A-Mole. Our currency, our pledge, inscriptions in our government buildings, crosses at our military cemeteries, the list goes on and on.
u live in a predominantly Christian culture. You may as well be asking to remove NFL football from the public square. No matter how atheists try to spin it, the establishment clause does not equate to removal of religion from the public square, even though they really, really, really wish that it did.

As for the supposed 20% being non-religious. I know you atheists love to take one, poll, cherry-pick it and present it as Gospel, but the facts really make you look foolish.
