Federal government bans flag-folding recitations following one complaint
It is time for Christians to say enough is enough
Dear David,
In the latest attack on Christianity, the U.S. government has banned the flag-folding recitations at all 125 national cemeteries. The banning came as the result of one complaint! The situation is similar to that in which one person removed prayer from schools.
This article from The Associated Press explains the situation:
Complaints about religious content have led to a ban on flag-folding recitations by Veterans Administration employees and volunteers at all national cemeteries.
At thousands of military burials, VA volunteers have folded the American flag 13 times and recited the significance of each fold to survivors. The 11th fold glorifies "the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” The 12th glorifies "God the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost."
Citing a need for uniformity, the National Cemetery Administration has prohibited unpaid VA volunteers as well as employees from conducting the recital at all 125 national cemeteries.
American Legion attorney Rees Lloyd calls it "another attempt by secularist fanatics to cleanse any reference to God."
Following one complaint, the Veterans Administration has made anti-Christian bigotry the law of the land. The U.S. government has bowed to pressure from one radical anti-Christian secularist. Allowed to stand, the action by the Veterans Administration, in essence, means that anti-Christian bigotry is now the accepted and approved law of the land.

I believe that the Government has made it a practice to go against the principle of majority rule. In other words, by allowing one person who is atheist to get his/her way they are not infringing on that persons religious beliefs by not believing, yet where there are millions of people that do believe in God and are actually being denied their rights. Hence, majority does not rule in our society.
It sucks, but there it is.

Give em all 10 minutes at the bottom of the pool.
Some of the crap these people come up with and the crap the lawyers allow to court makes me wonder
why Jesus wasn't a little more lenient with being able to open a can of whoopass on them.
Only drawback of being a Christian

I must agree. This is getting ridiculus with how much God, no matter which one is being mentioned. In fact, there was an announcement about how there are to be no more holiday announcements at school today.

It's amazing how atheists always feel their rights are infringed upon but yet they are the first ones trying to take away the rights of others to believe in what they want.

I think, there are a lot more important issues for me. As a matter of fact, I couldn't care less.
