Hell, they'll protect me if I want to display something obscene and offensive. But apparently it's unnacceptable for the religion worship by the majority of the American population to display anything in public.

And if you want to talk about imposing a religion let me describe the kind of exposure buddhism gets in Asia. There are temples everywhere. The concentration of temples far surpasses anything like you've ever seen. Religious ceremonies are held in the streets in plain view of everyone, occassionally even obstructing traffic. On some holidays hundreds if not thousands of firecrackers are set off, sometimes early in the morning sometimes late at night, for religious observances. But I guess it's acceptable because it's a cool, exotic religion not bland and lame like christianity is.

Mind you, I have no problem with what they do. I enjoy it myself. I just want to point out the double-standards. The thing is that the people rabidly opposed to christianity want to undermine it. What a more effective way of doing this than embracing other religions and reducing the presence christianity has in american life.

Hell, there are those willing to defend the actions of islamic terrorists! There are guys out there demanding we convert to islam or die, but christians are the bad ones. Even worse, they try to equate christian fundamentalists to islamic terrorists.
