Change the subject???OH gosh your right! This country does allow us all to live in peace. As long as we keep our atheist traps shut.

(In case you're confused that last one is from the home-state of our blessed President W)
Do you not understand that you have the right to protest this BECAUSE you live in a society whose basis is found in theistic morality?
Why do you think they (the people) passed those laws and statutes?
Do you want someone who says.. there is no absolute right or wrong, that justice and mercy are purely subjective, that we base our policy, ethics, morality and laws on whatever I feel is politically correct at the moment, that it all depends on what the definition of "is" is... do you want that person in a place of responsibility?
Or, instead maybe who says, there is an ultimate authority to whom I am responsible, that I will be held accountable for my actions by a Supreme Being, that humanity, freedom and equality are sacred because of an ultimate immutable law of the universe... not because you or I or anyone thinks or says so... today.
