The 1st Amendment does not guarantee freedom from religion. It guarantees freedom OF religion. It prohibits our government from infringing on any American's religious belief or practice UNLESS that practice advocates criminal harm to others such as rape, human sacrifice, or cannibalism; to name a few.

And by the way, the movement has moved well beyond removing Christ from Christmas. It is now about removing Christmas completely including secular expressions. Now it is Rudolf being attacked. A few years ago it was the song "White Christmas". Even "Jingle Bells" is politically incorrect.

Kevyn, how do you feel about frescoes of Lady Justice, with or without blindfolds, being displayed in just about every court house in the country? FYI, it is directly derived from the polytheistic paganism of ancient Rome. So, in order to not be viewed as simply an i***tic l*****t automaton, you MUST say you are against it.

And further Kevyn, who says that a nativity scene must be viewed as a tribute to the birth of Jesus of Nazareth? In fact, the overwhelming number of births throughout the world are likely in similar and many in identical circumstances. In fact, Kevyn you, yourself, may have been born (assuming you were born of a woman, at all) in similar circumstances. Many children are born in a car, on the way to a hospital, in case you are not aware of this reality. Thus, a nativity scene may be viewed as a tribute to all of humanity.

If you do respond Kevyn, spare us please your banal, sophomoric platitudes. This nation was founded upon principles of a Judeo-Christian understanding of our rights. Address please, the ideas, for once.

Oh, and I almost forgot fair Kevyn. Jesus was the most important person in the history of Western Civilization. I think for that, he deserves recognition. Unless you dare challenge my hypothesis, which you cna't. So if anyone deserves recognition, such as George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, your venerated FRD, why exclude Jesus?

Kevyn can't refute this but given is history of shrinking from my past challenges, he may try but will not be able to deny receiving this, since I am sending a copy directly to him.

Sure, so much so that they persecute or outright murder Christians, burn down churches and build victory mosques on the sites (they tried to build a very large victory mosque under the guise of an "Islamic center" near the World Trade Center site, but it fell through) and possession of a Bible can get you arrested or worse in some Islamic countries.

BTW I know a few Coptic Christians in New York who, if you made that same statement to them, would look at you like you have two heads.

They would say:

-- "His two heads, they are of bone!"
