In Reply to: My bad. I didn't men you are discriminating. - Too many others do, unfortunately.

"I think the religious right makes far more noise in this country than is appropriate. Toning it down a bit would go a long ways towards tolerance on both sides."

Please tell me you're kidding.......! Far more noise than is appropriate?? Sure, ok...um, that'd be why there's no more prayer in school...no Ten Commandments in the courtroom; however, swearing in on the BIBLE...no more IN GOD WE TRUST on our money...woohoo, bet the religious right just LOVES every one of these!

The religious right is far to QUIET...that's why Christians get walked all over and our beliefs get thrown out the window. Come on, you gotta know this stuff....................This whole discussion makes me sad...
