The issues being discussed go far beyond a nativity scene at Christmas, however. And as I posted to another member, if its okay for the city to buy other decorations to enhance the Christmas spirit and thus boost the economy, that nativity scene is absolutely no different. I do prefer that the citizens donate the scene however, and that is usually the case where you see nativity scenes on public property. They were all over the place in West Texas towns and cities this Christmas. It made for a beautiful sight when driving through those places. And I think there in pretty macho redneck country, the ACLU is probably sort of ignoring that and looking for easier picking elsewhere these days.
And nope, if the Hindus or Satanists or any others have had an influence on the history and heritage of an area, I have no problems whatsoever with that being acknowledged and/or commemorated.
And you know what? If this is just silliness to you and you find it offensive, there really are lots of other threads to spawn red herrings and other non related issues.
No fox, that is why the Constitution is in place...because people like yourself will misconstrue the meaning and purpose of religious icons and thereby allow a state agency to endorse a specific religious group...which is wrong unless we embrace a theocracy. That isn't going to happen anytime soon so your comments are incorrect.
