Why are Christians so closed minded? That's a more appropriate question.
Why are you dogging some "sleezbag lawyer"? If your Christian son or daughter died while serving the country would you want the memorial to contain versus from the Koran? Of course you wouldn't. So isn't it possible that there are some Jewish, Muslim, Buddist, Agnostic people on that memorial that take offense to the cross?
Why must Christians always force their beliefs onto everyone? I thought religion was supposed to be a deeply personal thing. So f'ing keep it that way!!!!!!!
To the person below me. This country was NOT founded on Christianity. It was founded on the escape from religious persecution. The Pilgrims were looking for a place that they could worship their religion in peace. So f'ing keep it that way and quit trying to push Chrisitanity into everyone's face!!!

Well first of all, Christmas was not a Christian holiday, it was a Roman Holiday called the Saturnine Festival, and it was supplanted by the Holy Roman empire to appease the masses that were used to celebrating that day. Easter was a pagan holiday celebrated in the UK, and once again it was supplanted by the Christians in an effort to control the pagans who were having way to much fun. Remember, the Church and State are separate things now and have been for Hundreds of years. Christianity has some very good things, and Jesus was a cool guy, who was very accepting of others for their differences and didn't make demands on others to follow him. Actually, he was against the organization of the religion he was born into and was executed for heresy against his own religion. I think what people have a problem with is Christians seem very judgemental and are the first ones to condemn people to fire and brimstone, where clearly that wasn't Jesus' way. All that other stuff was written in long after he died, when men sought to control the basically uneducated masses with fear and threats of damnation, once again not Jesus' way. To be Christian means to be Christ-like, and I find that to be lacking in most of the Christians I have known.

Yes it is a big issue, sadly I'm afraid the majority of people will discover the truth behind it all...too late!

Would the American people allow government control and collectivism to replace freedom and individualism? You bet! So would the rest of the world. This social transformation is well under way, and the masses simply flow with the change.3 " [See "Brainwashing in America"] Planned over a century ago, the framework for managing and monitoring this worldwide revolution was in place by 1945.
http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/2003/1-mental.htm
In short: The UN is creating A One World Order,where every one"must" conform to their rules:
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO)
In 1946, the first head of WHO laid the foundation for today's mental health program. Having implied that Christian parents indoctrinated "their defenseless children" with "poisonous certainties" that cause war and conflict, Canadian psychiatrist Brock Chisholm, added,
"The problem is no longer the germ of diphtheria, but rather the attitudes of parents who are incapable of accepting and using proven knowledge...when you study UNESCO's psycho-social strategies for conforming the minds of our children to its anti-Christian world view. But without background information, these ambiguous, open-ended phrases hide the true intentions.
If it cannot be done gently, it may have to be done roughly or even violently..." Children, in private as well as government schools, practice compliance by signing the Healthy Practices Pledge. It sounds innocuous at first -- just promise to "brush with a fluoride toothpaste," choose "snacks such as fruits and vegetables," and "make our home a smoke-free zone," then sign the pledge. But the contract is open-ended. It suggests that other "healthy" behaviors will be added later. 12 What if the next contract adds "cooperation with" and "tolerance for" something that conflicts with a child's faith? What if a refusal to sign the contract brings ridicule and persecution? Is your child ready to follow God, even when pressured to conform?

what's a christiab? should i be afraid of it? it doesn't sound scary....
i couldn't resist that one. lame, i know...
it's not so much that people are threatened by chritianity (i'm christian, so i'm just wildly speculating here), as much as in this country, everyone has a voice and everyone wants to use theirs. you have a very small group of people (and it's not all non-believers because my guess is that most of them don't care whether or not you have crosses at xmas) who are easily offended. there are just some people that get offended if the sun is shining outside. it doesn't take a large group of people to get something changed in this country. the squeaky wheel gets the oil...or something like that. you have people who complain and push and lobby and raise a big ruckus about personal rights and christmas is changed to winter celebration. in this country, a person's rights end where another one's begins. our right to display a cross ends with another person's right to not have to look at or be bombarded with (in their opinion, probabaly, with themajority of this country being christian) religious symbolism. that's how this country works. i personally think that courts should pick and choose their battles. everybody is offended by something and if we all tried to get rid of the things that offended us, things would be crazy. i'm personally offended by the confederate flag, but i have yet to see it removed from houses, cars, shirts, hats, etc.
but that's something completely different.

Christiabs?
A body builder term?
Could you write shorter questions?
I don't have time to address all your misstatements.

establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the

I agree with you totally. Christianity and Judaism are the basis for freedoms and justice in the USA. Yet the very people who have the most freedoms are doing their darnedest to take it away from the entire nation: If we no longer have freedom of religion,what is left? I know we would follow in the steps of the (Nazis,and the Communist) who only believed in world domination: Where is our freedoms to say we believe in God? Atheist give us the same freedoms that you take for granted:

I know, some people are really ofended when they see a cross, they forget that this country was founded by Christians...I don't understand how someone would be offended by a cross and yet they want their own religious symbols to be respected wherever they're found...

maybe they're threatened by the Cross and what it represents but not Christiabs (sic) per se.

I'm not threatened by Christians.
I do feel threatened by these self-righteous control freaks who preach hatred that call themselves christians. There's very little of Christ in them.

It's light...they fear the light & God. It would then force them to live by what he say's..so it's easier to say "I don't believe" it doesn't make it true but to them it's a free pass
