Would be fine if that's what they chose, but should also be willing to do it for Passover. Same standard all around.
That's... that's kind of my point...
So you'd be fine with your taxpayer money going to any religious gathering? So you'd be fine with your taxpayer money going to a Annual Black X-Mass Show hosted by Karla LaVey? If so, at what point should they stop? Why not send delegates to every religious building or presentation or event? After all, if they're willing to send people to Ham's Ark museum, why not all the others?

I was pondering the response to a government paying for a trip to the local Satanist statue. I doubt they would like that one.
In my experience, many theists say they're fine with it, but when something like this actually happens, they backpedal. It's like Catholics being fine with a Jehovah's Witness event or an Adventist saying Christmas is bad. Sure on paper they support it...
