Another example is from San Diego. Atop Mount Soledad there can be seen a majestic cross that has been there for decades as part of a memorial of some sort. Now some want it removed because of its religious implications. How stupid is this?
But the Christmas one may be worse. Shops and stores are under pressure to be politically correct and say "Happy Holidays" instead of Merry Christmas to accomodate every 500 religions in America, including Islam... And nativity scenes at revered churches are under fire (not literal fire, at least not yet, anyway) because they show God and Christ. I am so tired of everybody making a big deal out of nativity scenes and Christ, the reason behind Christmas, while everybody remains silent on the growing number of Islamic and Buddhist temples going up. The Muslims bombed us on 9/11, yet no one from the ACLU wants to have their "Christmas" (or whatever the heck else they celebrate) memorabilia removed.
Please don't mistake the intent of this topic; it is not an attempt to smear anybody as far as liberal and conservative go...
These attacks and countless others seem illogical and unfair. They are always pointed at God and Christ, and never at Allah or Buddha. It is always the Bibles that are being removed from schools, but NO, we wouldn't dare remove the Korans.
And how about that teacher who used the Declaration of Independence in his classroom, yet was persecuted for using it because of its mentioning of God and a Creator and so forth. What kind of country is this where we can't even use an important document in our history lessons?
And some of these same nuts buy into the moral relativist garbage that says one cannot impose their views on others, and what's that key word? Tolerance. Yet what are they doing? They are imposing their viewpoints on the God-fearers by saying we cannot have God in school. If you believe in moral relativism, I call you to arms. Defend your beliefs here.
I am just upset at these attacks because they don't seem logical, constituional, or for the good of America. How does this better serve the public? Oh, can't have that cross there. Yay, now my taxes are lower! Yippee! The ACLU should be going into inner cities and examining the horrible schools and terrible conditions all around. Yet as far as I know they have not done so.
I am a religious, God-fearing American Christian, and I am getting fed up with these ridiculous attacks that are based around the ACLU's secular humanist viewpoints. I am going to be a leader one day, fighting against such ridiculous things. I will fight back for America.
And for the record, the seperation of church and state does not mean the word God can never appear in the Pledge of Allegiance. I am no politician, but I know of people who believe in God but do not go to church. The seperation of church and state was made to keep situations like Rome's Catholic control over Europe in mind, not the mentioning of God or the display of the Ten Commandments.
I think these nuts have gone too far, and they are not working for the good of Americans. I guarantee you, the majority of Americans would not have a problem with crosses and God and the Ten Commandments. I GUARANTEE it. The ACLU is supposed to help Americans...They are helping America to an early grave. The Founding Fathers would be appalled at their atrocious actions...
