*Promptly picks up jaw from floor* You don't like Disney??? Granted, their stories are storybook, but then again, most of their stuff comes frome storybooks. Anyways, Mojo, the analogy is decent, only because all analogies are decent (they all oversimplify, but they get the point across). I mean, I agree, for the most part, there are a lot of liberals who tell Christians to sit down and shut up because apparently, someone died and made them Emperor of Rome, and gave them the right to throw us to the prevorbial lions. I'm glad that all liberals aren't like that, it's probably more like a 50/50 split on that deal there. To me, you can't remove the foundation of the Christian principles anymore than you can remove the Founding Fathers from the forming of our nation. There's an old saying, and I'm sure The_Dude has heard it, "Dance with the date that brought ya." I personally am not asking much. I just want people to realize that the United States were founded on the basic principles of Christianity (not the basic principles of the Church) and that if this is denied, well then you'd have to rewrite the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence completely to remove any mention of God. And if someone wants to rightfully acknowledge this, without creating a national church or restricting the free practices of religion, then that's kool. I just hope the Supreme Court actually looks at the Constitution when they eventually have to come to a decision on this.
