Thread Name: BS: Ten Commandments on Public Property?
Subject: RE: BS: Ten Commandments on Public Property?
I'm not getting how the names of days and months compare to having scriptures from one religion posted on the courthouse walls. Oh, it's a joke. OK, then.

Ron, in the "real world" as you so quaintly put it, the theocrats are taking over the country. Have you noticed that Tom DeLay is still very powerful? As soon as the Commandments on the Walls became a big deal for the fundies, it became a big deal for everyone who believes in freedom.

Actually, before all this became big news, I didn't know such a there were courthouses officially devoted to Christianity. I wouldn't have thought such a thing would be possible in America. I am horrified. Get the scriptures off the walls, and get them off NOW. Maybe it's not a big enough deal for you to make it worth fighting about, but it is for me and for lots of other people.

Why are you so quick, in the name of pragmatism, to let them get away with trying to take over the country? That's what has killed the Democrats for me -- trying to act like Republicans, trying to be pragmatic in the name of winning.
