I'm going to post to this against my better judgemnet so here goes...

Whomod, what Rob was doing was using an example, kind of. It's that first this, then that, then what? If the 10 Commandments can't be displayed outside a building, and people want to take "under God" out of the pledge, then who's to stop them from saying, you can't talk about God in church? It's a very legitimate and scary thing that can easliy happen with the way this society's became so freaking scared of offending anyone that the whole pc movement hasn't helped matters, it's made them worse.

This was something we were talking about at work just last week too. Don't try and tell me I'm wrong, I know it's true. I talk to the general public and just had this converstaion with a customer in CA the other day. She works for a company with a bunch of Jewish clients, forgot what kind of company, and told me that they're avoiding Christmas cards that have any religous conotation, even remotly. For instance, she passed on the Peace Dove card because it's a dove. There was another, more international card I suggested, but then remembered it says Merry Christmas in French, and that was a no go for her. I later noticed it says it in English as well, but you get the point. But the thing with that card is it also says Shalom, Kwasna, etc. It doesn't just say Merry Christmas, it's very international for different religions. But oh no! Don't want to offend anyone by sending them that. [yuh huh]

I'll be honest the whole nazi pc movment that's going on now ticks me off. People are so freaking afraid of offending people that we have to walk on eggshells, never knowing if just saying "bless you" when someone sneezes will elicit violent behavior. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for being respectful and not calling people derogitory names, etc, but come on!
