| subject: | Big stink in Green Bay |
The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a Madison-based group that advocates for the separation of church and state, and 12 Green Bay residents moved to file a lawsuit Monday challenging the display on the roof of a City Hall entrance. The lawsuit claims the display depicting the birth of Jesus is an unconstitutional governmental endorsement of religion. It claims City Council President Chad Fradette and Mayor Jim Schmitt allowed the display to provoke and marginalize those who would object. The final nail in the coffin: "In the end, the city council voted last week to keep the display but put all other requests on hold until it can draw up guidelines for deciding them." http://tinyurl.com/235r2m I say let it go. I'm an atheist, and I don't see why they need to make a stink out of it. Private money paid for it, so no taxpayer money is going into it. There are *FAR* more important religous issues that need to be addressed, most notably how under El Stupido's command of the Pentagon, "Christian" bigots and militant evangelists have made too many inroads into the US military. --- BBBS/LiI v4.01 Flag* Origin: The Eastern Star BBS (1:123/1011) SEEN-BY: 10/1 3 14/250 300 34/999 90/1 106/1 120/228 123/500 134/10 140/1 SEEN-BY: 222/2 226/0 249/303 261/20 38 100 1381 1404 1406 1417 1418 266/1413 SEEN-BY: 280/1027 320/119 633/260 262 267 690/734 712/848 800/432 801/161 189 SEEN-BY: 2222/700 2320/100 2905/0 @PATH: 123/1011 500 261/38 633/260 267 |
