No, we don't have to avoid hurting people's feelings. And we should embrace our heritage, which includes a belief in God and prayer. I am happy the Constitution and our courts protect us from your kind of paranoid extremist viewpoint.
This country was founded by believers. If some don't like that, I say fook 'em. They need to get used to disappointment.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with mentioning the Judeo-Christian God or Jesus of Nazareth. There is little, if any, difference in the belief of true followers of the Nazarene and the lack of belief in Atheists. No one is physically or emotionally "harmed" by the symbols of either a Star of David or a Cross, especially the latter of those two as it is the symbolic embodiment of the hope of peace on Earth.
In my life I have asked several muslimes if they would turn in their imam for telling them to blow themselves up in public to take out infidels. Not a one of them has said anything other than "...my imam would never ask me to do anything wrong".
Every Christian I have asked the same question about their priest, pastor or minister has said they would turn them over to law enforcement immediately.
There should never be an official faith of our nation but there is absolutely nothing wrong in basing our laws upon the Judeo-Christian Bible. islilme's queeron is for batshit crazy pig fuckers and it and it's pedophile followers should never be allowed in our nation or in any civilized country.
I don't fear followers of the Nazarene. Any that claim to are fooling no one. They just hate the Messiah because while his word is without question good, it condemns us for our behavior. Or rather, we condemn ourselves by our acting against his word. I can deal with that condemnation but then I am adult enough to be able to separate worship from recognizing the goodness of his teaching and try to act accordingly.
Fuck assholists. Lets see 'em speak out face to face agains muslimes. They won't. And again the reason is simple. Christians may well die for their faith but muslimes are ordered to kill for theirs. Big difference there and assholists are for the greater part weaklings and prefer to pick on the meek. It's kinda like when a man goes nuts and shoots up a school or a drug store but these same buttwipes never go shoot up an HA clubhouse.
Because the 81 will shoot back.
