We have removed God from our ... wait, WTF?

44. I used to work in county planning.

...and though there are many things that are against planning rules; very often, as long as nobody is complaining - it isn't a problem.

That's kind of the way it is with religion in school. I had a high school teacher that told us that she could teach about the bible as long as we were reading it as a work of literature. I expect that even in that case; if parents complained it would be put to an end. We prayed before each football game; I wasn't religious, but they allowed those who did not want to participate an opportunity to 'not participate' without prejudice. I just bowed my head with the rest and another student led the prayer.

I think that's the way it should be; sure, we have the rule of law and we should try to observe the law, but sometimes it's ok just to let things go even though it might be against the rules as long as it isn't really hurting anything.

The Ten Commandments were on my courthouse lawn; I don't have any problem with it, I'm not gonna complain. However, when people do complain (and they have a right to complain) it is wrong to insist that it remain there; because then the powers that be know that they are offending someone, and they just don't care.

That's the line that we walk and as long as we aren't trying to hurt anyone; then we aren't hurting anyone. IMHO
