Exactly. The ESPN guy was sort of doing his best, but I think they left out some of the definite points. Prayer in School? When was that taken out? No one says you can't pray in school. The question is whether EVERYONE has to pray to God, or else be the outcast. Its systematic discrimination.
I always enjoy the "we are a Christian Nation" bit.
No. We're not. We are not a theocracy. Or am I now not an American? I don't get it.
I also think that point on Europe goes beyond the rising influence of Islam (and the poster case that happened in France recently); but goes to the American position that Europe is a dried up atrophied shell of nations. In my dealings with Europeans, I have to admit it looks pretty sweet. They're not worried about trying to be the biggest, baddest nation - so they actually have some sense of freedom that I think we frequently chase over here in the states. If atheism does that, I'm game.
But this is pretty much what every holiday is like down here. Then again, I'm within driving distance of Bob Jones University.
