Thread Name: BS: Ten Commandments on Public Property?
Subject: RE: BS: Ten Commandments on Public Property?
Are you addressing me, Dave?

I don't have a vehement dislike of Christianity. My husband is a Christian. He thinks I am one of the most Christian people he knows. And I am not a secular humanist. I am a very spiritual person.

But I know what it's like to have a religious majority controling the way things are done and how people are treated, and it's unconsitutional for the US government to participate in such things.

It is not anti-Christian to suggest that what Christians believe to be absolute truth is not necessarily absolute truth. It's just facing reality. My spiritual beliefs would probably make you, as a Christian, very uncomfortable. And I will not ever attempt to impose those beliefs on you. But neither do you have a right to try to impose your beliefs on me. And telling me that I must accept your idea about what is and is not divine law is an imposition of your religion upon me.
