billvon 2,400 #5 June 28, 2017 QuoteI doubt if anyone in AR is terrorized. This looks like the work of an immature, foolish sinner. An example of adolescent mentality stuck in rebellion. One of my favorite protesters I've ever seen was at an Earth Day one year. He was morbidly obese - one of those guys who needed special stores for his clothing and was a few months away from permanent scooter status. He had a sandwich board on that proclaimed the evils of Obama and all the liberals, and proclaimed that their evil was manifested by their commission of the seven deadly sins, which he listed: Pride Covetousness Lust Anger Envy Sloth I took a picture of him; I wish I could find it.

normiss 622 #6 June 28, 2017 More accurately, someone fed up with the continual abuse of separation of church and state. God damn religious insanity doesn't belong on government property.

Hmmm... normissMore accurately, someone fed up with the continual abuse of separation of church and state. God damn religious insanity doesn't belong on government property. Makes me wonder if they would allow islamic statues there? I don't know about Islamic, but how about Satanic? Most courts have found that if one is allowed, all must be allowed. There was a bit of a kerfuffle about holiday decorations a few years back, here in Wisconsin. While a variety of religious groups were allowed to put up a display in the Capitol rotunda, when the Freedom From Religion group put up a banner that read "Church and State - Keep Them Separate", the governor had it removed, claiming it made it look like a "hockey rink". So, after a bit of debate, argument and lawyer fees, it was decided that everyone's beliefs (or lack thereof) are to be respected.

Bill actually only listed six anyway (there are not seven listed here). Covetousness is also known as Greed. The one missing is Gluttony.

If one day a statue of Satan showed up on the lawn of your church, would you try to remove it? Our church is on private property, different rules. However, Satan himself shows up inside our church nearly every Sunday. Since most of us in attendance have power over him, he does not accomplish very much. He gets his licks in though.

But looking it up, I see you are right (somehow the "you being right" part doesn't surprise me ). I was thinking he got two at once, and completely missed the fact that "greed" wasn't there. And I fully realized that "gluttony" was missing, and that it was Bill's point. We really need a sarcasm font."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

tkhayes 126 #16 June 29, 2017 FFRF.org was already going to sue them over the monument and it would have ended up being taken down at taxpayers expense....as have all the others. foolish move on the part of govt to think that can openly endorse a single religion above all others at taxpayers expense without repercussions. this is the problem with govt. Thinking we can just keep 'one slave' since it is only 'one' - ignoring the constitution. All this guy did was save the taxpayers a ton of money Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
