I wonder how long until Los Angeles has to change it's name.

I think its ridiculous too. However, i'd hypothetically bet large sums of money that for every person who is uncomfortable seeing a cross on public property there is a christian person who thinks seeing a cross on public property is only appropriate because america is god's country. Both perspectives are problematic for what should be obvious reasons.

I feel threatened when in Public schools it's ok to put up the crescent star for ramadan, the menorah for Hannakuh, but it's somehow offensive to put up a manger scene, if not for the very fact that it solely targets Christianity. This was the case in New York last year, I doubt it has changed.

I still don't know why you're threatened. Christianity still is the majority religion, and if america truly is a christian nation, your god will see to it that it stays that way. btw, i agree that it's a little hypocritical to only exclude christian propoganda from holiday festivities.

Christianity is getting targetted because it's the majority. The left in this country is doing everything to discredit it and remove it from public, where Christianity has been for centuries without problem.[/QUOTE]
It is true that public displays of religion have gone largely unchallenged for a long time, but things are changing. Just like they always have. It's not just the left. There are differences between fiscal conservatives and social conservatives. If you really lack the security in your personal faith to feel threatened by the
lawful actions of your
countrymen then perhaps you need to go to church more.
In any case, if you really do feel threatened as part of a mainstream religion whose membership is in the hundreds of millions, than can you imagine how threatened you'd feel if you and your fellow worshippers were in the minority?
