They want to remember what the Church did wrong thousands and thousands of years ago? And the Islam moon and stars? Does that stand for terrorism? Does it stand for a suicide bombing every other day? Does it stand for kidnapping, decapitating, mutilating, and murdering innocent people? Kestrel, if you're going to interject in this argument, please don't make yourself sound like a borderline retard. Do it for all of us and finally do it for yourself.
You seem to be the simple minded one that doesn't seem to remember that Christianity was born from the ashes and on the backs of many different groups around the world. So, after 600 years, we can just forget about the Holocaust, just like you want to forget about the Inquisition?
And since you missed the point....to everything there is always someone that takes objection. Including things you think are innocuous, like Christianity and Christmas trees, which may not be innocuous to everyone (especially groups that have traditionally dominated by Christians, like Native Americans, and Muslims, for example). It is the role of the government to be impartial to any one of these groups, not to endorse one side or the other.
Edit: And since you seem to have nothing but personal attacks in your posts, I'm gonna attach one to mine
because you can't put together a sentence to save your life.
