Conservative group sets up nativity scene in Capitol; move angers anti-religion group

25. Free exercise thereof is fine

But when a religious themed item is put into a government building, it no longer becomes a religious matter, it becomes a political matter.

I would say leave it up if the Jews, Muslims, Wiccans, Hindi, African Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa, Buddhists, Taoists, atheists, Native Americans, Satanists, Druids, and any and every other religious group in the country was allowed to set up a themed holiday message as well. Let's see how well that kind of a proposition goes over. Take my word for it: it won't.

A few years ago, there was another nativity scene planned for another government building, and several of the other religious groups made the same request. The RR quickly moved in and took their manger scene down, rather than share the space with other religious systems. It's that kind of demonstration that will keep the RR in its place, but few others are willing to go that step. Too bad.

You might recall a judge named Roy Moore who put up the 10 commandments in the court house in Alabama, and was told by a federal judge to take it down. HE wouldn't do it. He was adored by the RR as a result.

These kind of people keep pushing their views onto others and very few have stood up to them throughout the past.

It's time the rest of us told the Roy Moores of this world to shove their beliefs up their asses.
