White House asks Supreme Court to allow cross on Mt. Soledad

[man4allcats]

12. Anyone can wear a religious symbol (such as a cross or Star of David) while present on public lands.

That is not a violation of separation of church and state. The tombstones of dead soldiers are all that is left of those people in terms of any kind of personal statement about their lives. If the families of those dead soldiers are comfortable with the display of a religious symbol on those soldiers' tombstones, that is just as acceptable as if the soldiers themselves were alive and walking through the cemetery or on any public lands while wearing a religious symbol. In my view religion is irrational, but in this country people have the right to believe in all manner of irrational ideas and further to proclaim those maniacal beliefs. They do not, however, have the right to attempt to speak on behalf of the entire country by raising monuments to their delusions on public lands. And so I say again, take it down and replace it with something secular. Easy to do.
