stan where are you that all these things are happening?
not allowed to wear a cross to school? that is very odd and not true anywhere i have been.
and again, comparing a t shirt to a symbol in a govt building, kinda strange.
why would there be a suit against pagan shirts?
(i guess you refer to satanic symbols on rock shirts)
where is the suit against Christian shirts?

it really sounds like more than anything you are frustrated that Christianity isnt forced on everyone.

i just dont see what the govt has to do with my beliefs, or where Jesus told me to go around enforcing anything
what happens as islam gains steam and there are more and more muslim students.

i hear you that ACLU may be anti Christian in a sense, but you are making some very far reaching comparisons here, many of them false, none of them tied to reality.
>>Students can't even bring a bible to school or have a private bible study<< i have a hard time beliving that.
>>>You can show a Crucifix in a bottle of urine and call it art, but you can't wear one<<< well, the "art" is frustrating yes , but what school doesnt allow one to wear a cross?

>>> Now they are complaining about alledged mistreatment of a koran??? <<< how does taking a holy book from a prisoner ad defacing it in front of him compare to any of the above?
no one is forcing you to look at art, and the total reality =

how about you compare the traetment of Christian books, believers, etc to the treatment of muslims.
THAT is the only real comparison here, and you can't make it because the reality is Jesus is thoroughly preached and accepted throughout the prison system.

you are saying "screw those muslims and their book"
would you say the same if they were Jews?
it is that very dark sentiment that has me worried about your whole line of thinking.



it's frustrating, but the cost of freedom is allowing freedom to everyone.
i sure wouldnt want a giant pentagram hanging over my town=
and for where i live, Berkeley, who knows what the people here would want all over town were they allowed to put up religous symbols everywhere.
if we allow one, we have to allow both, i am much more comfortable with neither.



you wont like this, but it is noteworthy-
atheism.about.com/od/church...omfrom.htm


as far as i know witchcraft or "spell time" isnt being granted either.
also there have been reverse incidents- a "wedding area" in florida, available to all religions (buddhist, huindu, muslim, Christian) denied pagans from having ceremonies there.
a weird example, but it's not like the whole US is open arms for pagans.

i do agree evolution could be considered religion
but teaching creation doesnt seem logical either, if you want to allow religous freedom. really, scientifically , what is taught leaves plenty of room for Creation. there is plenty of evidence animals have evolved, and no reason to believe God would not make something like that happen.
However- there is no link from human to animal. it cannot be scientifiaclly proven that humans evolved from anything but themsleves!
diets, living conditions, weather have all caused changes in humans over time, but we remain essentially the same animal.

so it is easy to accept both. Humans were placed on the earth, animals were also, but they modify themselves over time, adapt, and because they are more simple, dont have the more specific purposes we have, they change while we don't

i dont know, what would you suggest teaching them?
if you are suggesting public achools become parochial, i would suggest you take a look at our Constitution, and remember= if we had a STate REligion=
which branch of Christianity would it be?
Catholic? Assembly of God? the whole nation under one church as prescribed by law?

either way,
something to consider=

what if Chrisitianity became a minority in the US?
would you want the major religion to force its rules on you , or would you like to continue your freedom to believe what you believe?
