How come artists can paint pictures of our savior and then defecate on it and have it displayed, but we can not paint a picture of our savior in the true light and have it displayed at the same place? Or why can we not have a float dedicated to him in parades because that is our belief but others can have their beliefs in the parade. I look at atheist's and their beliefs as their right, but are they are allowed to take away our rights. I don't have the time to write all of the things down where our rights are being taken away just to keep them happy.
I just don't see why can't they do what they want and let us do our thing with out going to court all of the time?

Another question: why are some of the people in here that don't believe in God so hateful? Man, some of you should like maybe take up yoga or something...

Christians are the best treated in America. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Atheists weren't even allowed to testify in court at the beginning of the century. And they certainly can't run for office an openly atheist candidate, which makes Congress overwhelming Christian
Muslims, anyone that looks Arab, including Indians and Sikhism are second class citizens, are "randomly" inspected by cops, watched by the government, and go through security process 10x longer than anyone else.
Christians can do whatever they want in their own homes regarding religion. They just shouldn't do it with public money or in public facilities.

You need to get over your persecution complex. Exactly how many artists defecate on their Jesus paintings and then a museum hangs them up? I'm guess like maybe one? On the other hand you will find thousands of Christian themed paintings in museums.

I bet you are thinking of things that were never your right to do, like shoving your religion down everyone else's throat.

The political agenda of the Christian Right is to undermine the Constitution or to amend it so as to establish (fundamental) Christianity as the state religion. Those of us who respect and honor the Constitution are devoted to preserving it as it was intended by its creators who believed very strongly that the separation of church and state be maintained. If Christians are permitted to make religious displays in public places, then such allowances show preference for Christianity over other religions as well as the secular state. Museums, however, are filled with art which is religious in nature, and your leaders have established the (illogical) Creation Museum, so I seriously doubt that your "rights" are being denied if you can not flaunt your theist beliefs in places which are, by definition, public where those embracing other belief systems or none will be offended or where such displays are illegal Constitutionally.

Think of atheism as Gods way to keep heaven from becoming over populated. And the ACLU as a reminder of what sort of people most lawyers and leftists are. For every thing there is a reason.

Their conscious is seared having no feelings at all.
2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

You are right... Christians rights are being taken away at an alarming rate. The only thing that can be done is for Christians to stand up and raise their voice. The only reason your rights are being taken from you is because you and others like you are sitting back allowing it to happen... You can't sit at your computer desk and expect a change, Do you think those who are taking your rights are doing so by sitting down and being quiet? NO, they are protesting and making noise to take away your rights.

Wow - I haven't seen an atheist float yet! What did it look like? Was it a representation of the atom? What parade would you like to have a God float? Veteran's Day?

Poor child. You can only see where your "rights" are being taken away, yet you cannot see the evil that your buddies are committing on the rest of the country.

Have you been to an art museum? Most have a section that is dominated by Christian themed art. Christianity after all was the inspiration for a lot of works of art in history.

Oh get over it. You are not being treated unfairly. What other religions are represented in parades? Any? No. So shut up about it. You just love to say your persecuted because your book says you should be.
