Although I agree in theory about the "don't read it part", there is the fact that public money paid for one that it didn't pay for all. Clearly that shows a preference. The gay tv channel isn't on public lands, you don't have to watch it before entering a public building, etc.Hannitized said:Thanks Moi!!!
But the police department isn't dishing out Religious pamplets or Preaching or anything. It's a statue in the yard that's been there for how many years. Grant it, there isn't any other Religions statues out there, then let those Religions donate something of theirs instead of removing one that's already in place.
This guy (in the article) is an athiest, he can't be upset because his religion isn't out there too, he doesn't have one. If the police department was out their Preaching the Commandments to passer-bys, then I'd understand. As it is, if this guy doesn't like it, DON'T look at it, just like I'm going to be told to do if I start complaining about the gay channel I just read about on the other thread. If I complain, I'll be told, "Don't watch it". Shouldn't the same go for this guy, or am I totally missing the point, lol.
Again, I'm not saying I agree with removing all religious mentions from public- but I clearly understand why it bothers people who don't support that religion (or none at all).
