After that I repeated myself.

I think the best thing is to Google the 11 court and read about the case for yourself. ..anybody who is reading this.
The 82 page appeal is enlightening.

Read what Rabun is and why is should he overturned and contemplate the possible consequences if it is not.

@ The Truth 1) What does AKA TS mean? 2) If you’re concerned about tax money, the prudent thing to do is remove the cross. The lawsuit goes away and taxpayers don’t have to pay for the upkeep and lighting of the cross. 3) I am not offended by the cross or “In God We Trust” on our currency. I don’t think it belongs there, and I would have it removed if I could, but I’m not offended by it. I am offended that the state forced schools to spend taxpayer money to put “In God We Trust” in a prominent place in every school. 4) I’m not a Constitutional scholar like you seem to be, and I didn’t use the phrase “separation of church and state” in my earlier posts. I do think the 1st Amendment tries to keep the government from favoring any religion, religions, or lack of religion. The government paying for the upkeep of the cross, among other things, seems to favor one religion. Again, I’m no scholar. What does the 1st Amendment tell us about religious freedom?
Educate me, please. Thanks! 5) What’s not a theory? You rambled a bit.

@ Tabby So acting unethically to keep the cross where it stands is appropriate? Do all of the Christians reading this message board agree with Tabby?

Peace!

This has nothing to do with inclusion. This has to do with removal.

This has to do with whether an offended person has *standing* or not– to tie up the court systems for a pay check from tax money that should be used else where. They are like ticks on a hound dog. Parasites.

This is about the Constitution first amendment and IT IS going to the supreme court and needs to be heard. That horse has left the barn.

Not a time for compromise. The mayoral candidates are blowing smoke to sit on the fence for votes.

Does “In God we trust offend” you on a dollar bill? Well then lets turn them all in and it will cost too much to print more let’s just go full electronic. The that is way a hit to the power grid or internet will stop us dead in their tracts.

The free thinker, pagan, christians, jews and nones and all others need to see this.

This particular plaintiff has already announced they are standing by to file law suits all over the country. Do you in your critical thinking mind think this has to do with ethics of separation of church and state, which BTW is NOT in the constitution.

Google Vero Beach. Brevard County.

Look at what the Democrats are doing for the Supreme Court nomination.

It’s not a theory.

I may be offended by other religious symbols but I would not tell them to take it down. I would ignore it because my God is stronger. He is in charge and their symbols mean nothing to me. they are empty signs of not knowing Jesus, if it comes down or stays up they have already lost. I read the book.

Will they make sure the lease looks fair and impartial, or will the lease actually be fair and impartial?

The first is possible but unethical. The second is ethical but impossible. You’re in favor of the first option, aren’t you?

Peace!

If you honestly would defend another religion’s symbol you’re still wrong, but at least you’re not intolerant.

People who think the cross should be removed are not necessarily Communists, as Tabby so delicately opines, nor are they necessarily tooma’s cloven-hoofed pagans. I am neither, and I think the cross should be removed because, in my opinion, it conflicts with the Establishment Clause of the Constitution by unduly favoring one religion. Again, in my opinion, protecting the Constitution is most important, because the Constitution also has a Free Exercise Clause which guarantees your right to hold whatever religious beliefs you choose. If you want to get rid of the Establishment Clause, you have to let go of the Free Exercise Clause too.

Peace!
