The ACLU is not anti Christian and has defended the rights of Christians> they have defended Jerry Falwell. They have defended churchs all over the country. eligious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act that was passed in 2000, as well as the Equal Access Act, which guarantees that religious groups have the same access to public facilities that any other community groups do. They even defended the rightof an elementary school student who wanted to hand out candy canes to his classmates with a card attached that had a Christian message on it. Anti-Christian? Hardly. It’s a real simple game – No government sponsorship of religion. Put your display at your church, your house, your private business – not on GOVERNMENT property, unless it fits the already established court guidelines.

They also have filed suit against other religious symbols. TO say that they only fight aginst Christian symbols is both a gross mistatement, it shows an incredible lack of research. It is just wrong.

I want to know where the thought that Chirstianity has all of its “bad apples” are in the past? What country are you talking about? The abortion clinic bombings happened here to name one easy example. Go beyond our borders and “christians” are just as likely to be terrorist groups (see India, Ireland and Lebanon).

Get some facts and come back to the debate.

The ACLU is, by and large, a bad organization. They may have (at one time had) noble goals, but those have been twisted by bias.

As to the atrocities committed by / in the name of Christianity – yes, there have been bad times. All people/groups have them. Ours are far in the past, and we openly admit they were bad. We do not embrace, nor complicitly permit the actions of, the ‘bad apples’ (past or present). Can the same be said of Islam currently? (Saying your are Muslim and want terrorists to be caught is all well and good, but have you done anything about it? Have you pushed your people away from those who hate?)

PS – Cao is, in fact, a female (not a he/she, and not a group) … and anger in reaction to hate/threats may not be ‘good’, but it is easily more justifiable than the initial hate itself.

I have never deleted a comment yet.

And thanks for stopping by.

Feel free to post comments, rants, or even personal attacks. It simply shows your idiocy if you do the latter.
You can say anything you want here. But if you get stupid I reserve the right to point it out and delete the Comment.

What can I say Kender? You can dish out insults but you can’t take them?

And in your first paragraph of your insult to me you did say that the ACLU uses tax dollars, but you were too busy insulting me to realize what you were saying.

Do you have a kid? How would you feel if your child were off getting tested for STDs at 15 without your knowledge, whil ethey were supposed to be in school, and that the people that had the knowledge that your child may be heading towards trouble, (or already there) were not allowed, by law, to let you know?

Also, I don’t know if you are a christian but how does viewing a christian symbol or hearing a song that mentions God harm those that aren’t believers?

I don’t know how you were raised, but insulting people on their website doesn’t demonstrate their ignorance, now does it.

Pia’s right about alienating conservatives. I’m a good old fashioned conservative small-government, states’ rights, pro-liberty kind of guy and regret the departure of the Republicans. And by the way, you’re wrong that the government pays all of the ACLU’s expenses. I give ‘em a little.
