Dave,
I must have missed the part where there is any agreement on what we all consider to be symbols of law. I thought the only things that really mattered were the Constitution and various acts of Congress. The Constitution has that tricky bit about not establishing a religion, and you still haven't said anything about how the whole scripture thing isn't establishing a religion. I guess you don't have a response to that. Why don't you admit it and go away?

I am not attempting to impose my religion on anyone. It is the height of facetiousness to claim that asking you to not shove your religion in my face is depriving you of something.

What makes you think you know anything about my religion, or have the right to say anything negative about it? You pompous ass, speak what you know about or shut the hell up.

I think I need to stop debating with you -- you are obviously not going to see any point of view but your own, and I'm not going to suddenly decide that officially enshrining Christianity is OK. I'm tired of hearing you spout the religious right's talking points, and I'm sure you're tired of me yapping at your heels like a little dog.
