I coulda used a guard rail here and there, though.

I, too have learned many things in this thread.

And I would like to thank the bikers who had the courage (finally!) to jump in and defend the ACLU. (Hey, where were all you guys on page 2 when I was all alone? :) )

I will bow out, too, for the simple reason that I cannot spend any more time ...

Some great advice, Seetrout. Thanks!

I've printed out your post and will soon sit down with my Hawaii map and chart out a few day trips.

February 11 (my arrival date in Honolulu) is almost here! (Can you tell that this Minnesotan is ready to experience some warmer weather?)

I can tell you a "talking head" who works at the post office is pretty concerned about the new rule to say "seasons greetings" or "Happy Holidays"...anything BUT "merry Christmas." It's his job, and THIS IS WHAT HE WAS TOLD. No it's not the ACLU, but exactly where do you think this stuff is coming ...

As for internet research...doing very much of this will reveal to you why nobody is responding to this offer. Potentially unpopular opinions by an organization with an agenda will be the last ones to make it onto their website . (Bolding added by me.)

Exactly. But please remember that Google ...

Exactly how does displaying the Ten Commandments harm someone when all the words in them are the foundation of our legal system? Go ahead and try, there is no way to show it does, regardless of what agency you place them in...government or civilian.
Easy as pie. I'll do it in one sentence.

My "take" is that Exodus and Leviticus are from the Old Testament. They have a new one out now. You might want to look into it.
What a great quote. I hope I remember to use it the next time someone uses the "It was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" biblical justification.

Thanks!

The ACLU, is in opposition to Biblical priciples from prayer to homosexuality, and You just can't believe both ways. Pick a side spiff.

The ACLU is not against the Biblical principle of prayer. Why do you continue to state this falsehood? It fights to support the U.S. Constitution, which ...

God is pretty clear about His stand on abortion, Wizz, so I don't believe it to be presumptuous lest my God be proven a liar. And as a follower of Christ (okay, not a good one, but I do try) I cannot vote for, believe in, or defend any position that attempts to turn a black and white topic into ...

And a P.S. to ZooTech : WWJD?

He would love the ACLU, just as He taught "love thine enemy". Good thing for believers I am not Jesus.
And when you so enthusiastically proclaim Merry Christmas to others (as you have done often in this thread), you are wishing ... what, exactly?

Are you wishing ...
