Play nice or I will take my crayons and leave

PS to the link a couple responses up..............

Thats funny, I am glad someone made that one guy the
authority. Anyway he actually does more to make the whole point than refute it LOL

Care to explain?

Ok.........

Copied from your link:

Buildings in the U.S. capital and statements by America's founding fathers includes references to Judeo-Christian tradition: True.

The items included in the piece quoted below demonstrate a government endorsement of Judeo-Christian tradition: False.

His refute is just opinion in large measure, His first statement acknowleges all we are trying to say "Buildings in the U.S. capital and statements by America's founding fathers includes references to Judeo-Christian tradition"

No one ever said all the Christian symbols in our government = an endorsement to start with and to that end I agree with him.

From the post you made, it seems you agree with the debunked sentiment that there is an exclusively judeo-christian basis for our legal and governmental system, and that you prove this by the design of the monuments mentioned in your post.

No not exactly.........

What I agree with is that the government by virtue of its buildings and Christian symbols did not "endorse" a state religion, the Judeo-Christian basis is not "exclusive" never said it was. I am simply saying it was a large/significant influence as it pertains to the topic of this thread
