All they've asked for is to be left alone. After all, even in the small country school in my area, the teachers are allowed to wear crescent necklaces and Star of David necklaces but are strictly forbidden from wearing crosses. By taking issue with this, am I asking the government to spread Christianity? Hardly. Wait wait wait, when have Christians asked the government to spread their beliefs for them?

It's one of the biggest drinking days of the year. Everyone just buys in a lot of booze on the Thursday and has house parties.

Anytime they are not allowed to have their government assist them in spreading their beliefs, they insist they are being attacked. However, it does seem to work. Try to buy a beer on any Sunday in most communities. Last time I was denied the right to buy a six-pack on Sunday, the clerk plucked the beer from the register and put it behind her, saying very smugly, “you can’t buy this on Sunday.” I replied, “The American Taliban is alive a well in this state (it was Kansas). I guess I’ll just have to drink my Vodka today. The look on the clerk’s face was priceless. ————————————————– The unexamined belief is not worth believing.
