Quote: It happens all across the board. I remember when the atheists were mad because some kids were going to a local park to pray/worship during their lunch hour, and there were a bunch of protests by local seculrists upset that they were doing it during official school hours at a public location.  Of course at the end of it, the city told them to MYOB.  With the Muslims, it's common for them to defy school rules and even pray on their mats in the halls.  Often people are afraid of retaliation, and they let it slide.  Christians do it too.  Lots of banter about what is and what isn't appropriate.  Unfortunately kids get caught in the middle of all the quarreling.

Public spaces are not church's nor should they be and the ludicrous idea that the religious are being taken down is just that .

I don't have to answer anything the way you want me to.  If you don't like other people's opinions, then maybe the Internet isn't the right place for you, because it's filled with people's thoughts, and many probably don't match with yours.

Quote:My question is not whether it's ok to question that belief, but whether it should be tolerated. 

Again, I’m not so much tolerant of beliefs as I am indifferent to them. I can be tolerant or intolerant of actions, not beliefs.

If you’ve no objection, I’ll use you as an example. I don’t care what you believe. I know that you’re a Christian, but I’m indifferent to that. As much as I know about you from your posts here, your seem like a perfectly nice person, and that’s really all that concerns me.

If I say left, you'll say right. If I make a comment, you'll say it wasn't the right comment.

No if it's left I would agree it's left it's not left however thus I point out that it is not left . You will make a comment wither you address what was actually said regardless if I agree will be the determiner. It's not left and you didn't address it .

Can we just get past all the nonsense already?  What specifically would you like me to respond to and I'll give you an "official" response.  Sound okay?

You are correct, you don't have to give answers you don't want to give. That still has nothing to do with evidence.

It still remains, at least in the west, we are not at theocracy, and as such public venues cannot be monopolized by one religion over another, or one sect of even the same umbrella label over another sect of even that same religion.

NO, I do not like the claim of Christians in America that they have a social pecking order and special favoritism anymore than a Muslim living Israel likes being treated as a pet or guest at best. Just like any Christian living in Egypt, or Saudi Arabia or Iran, like being relegated to second class or worse.

Explain to everyone here how government serves a diverse population best by playing favorites?
