A courthouse is supposed to be neutral territory open to all. This display shows the sick mindset of these people in Texas who call themselves "Christians", but apparently have no loyalty to their country. They are trying to trash both the Christian faith and American values at the same time.
This demonstrates what I have long suspected these dirty cults have been up to.
If tolerance means that Christians have to hide their culture and heritage,
then everything said about "tolerance", "diversity" and "Multiculturalism" has been a lie.
Nobody is asking anyone to "hide their culture and heritage." You are greatly exaggerating. And this situation has absolutely nothing to do with tolerance, diversity, and multiculturalism. Just the opposite.
The people who put up this cross did so to be rude. They know the rules. They are abusing a religious symbol. You can have a service on public property, but you have to take everything with you when you leave. We had Easter sunrise service at the village band shell every year when I was growing up, but we left nothing behind. The same applied to other religions.
What is the purpose of this sudden craze among some Christians of "decorating" courthouses, anyhow? They make Christians look like a bunch of jerks.
No American government, federal or state, has any legal authority to limit, adjust or otherwise modify the "free expression" clause of the 1st Amendment short of a ratified modifying amendment.
This isn't about First Amendment freedom of speech. The government may impose restrictions on the time, place, and manner of speech, but government at all levels is supposed to remain religiously neutral.
There is enough tax-exempt real estate out there if someone wants to put up a religious symbol.

When you lefties are offended and push against any display of Christian culture or heritage in the public square, which you do,
then you are indeed asking Christians to hide their culture and heritage.
I didn’t say she couldn’t. I pointed out the parallel to those who think that’s ok but a Christian display isn’t. See?We already do. That terrorist in Minnesota wears Muslim garb with the specific intent of reflecting her commitment to Islam while representing the people of her district to the US Congress.The Constitution states a SEPARATION of church and state.One of the most bizarre creations of the Godlessleftwrong is the idea that the First Amendment allows, and in some cases, even requires the censorship and suppression of religious beliefs and symbols; in direct opposition to what the First Amendment actually says.
Just one more datum to demonstrate that LIbEralism is a mental disease.
Do you want to see Muslim symbols on government buildings as well dumb dumb?
You tell her to remove it while she’s on the clock.
So you are saying that no one can wear religiously-inspired jewelry, lapel pins, or headgear while "on the clock"? What happened to the "religious freedom" thing?
You are totally misrepresenting the point, which is that sectarian religious displays should not be on or in public governmental buildings that are used by all, see?

You misrepresent what I said. Why do you use a political term, "leftist," in a discussion that is not about politics?
What is this nonsense about asking anyone to "hide their culture and heritage" in the public square? People do it daily.
What I said, clearly, is that people may wear what they wish, but there should be no PERMANENT sectarian monuments put up.
There still has been no cogent explanation for why these people do what they do. The show-boating is gross, even if it were legal. Why reduce important religious symbols to the status of graffiti? What does this accomplish?

1. It is incredibly dishonest of you to pretend this is not a political issue. We will keep in mind that you are dishonest for the rest of this thread.
2. I have addressed your claim that this is not asking people to hide their culture and heritage. That you just restate your position without addressing my rebuttal is dishonest and cowardly of you. My point stands.
3. Culture and heritage is not limited to what people wear. That is more dishonestly from you, about what is going on here and your lib intentions.
4. Our entire system of right and wrong, is based heavily upon the religion(s) that have been a central part of our civilization for thousands of years. It is insanely dishonest of you to pretend to not understand why some symbols of that might be put on a courthouse.
5. It is legal.
6. Your pretense that you care about the respect show to religious symbols is a laughable lie. Stop lying.
That court represents that district the same way a prominent Muslim congressman represents her district while wearing a Muslim uniform. It’s the same thing.I didn’t say she couldn’t.

You are totally misrepresenting the point, which is that sectarian religious displays should not be on or in public governmental buildings that are used by all, see? This is a very limited concept. People put up religious displays all over the place. You can't deny that. Moreover, people can wear religious regalia in public buildings as long as it goes with them when they leave.
I do not know the motive behind this display. The people behind it have neither been identified nor spoken. This kind of thing is not required in the Christian faith, and this "decorate the courthouse" fad seems to be just some "king of the hill" game, which actually cheapens faith and makes Christians look like disrespectful, arrogant jerks.
But what do you care about Christians of any sort, anyway, given that your nasty crack in post #95 indicates that you do not have a belief system?
There is no concept of "separation of church and state" in the Constitution. It was invented by a democrat former KKK member appointed to the Supreme Court by FDR. Democrats have been expanding on the fake issue since 1947 to the point that a drooling atheist can file a lawsuit to bulldoze a Korean War monument that offended him. Democrats have turned the 1st Amendment upside down.The Constitution states a SEPARATION of church and state.One of the most bizarre creations of the Godlessleftwrong is the idea that the First Amendment allows, and in some cases, even requires the censorship and suppression of religious beliefs and symbols; in direct opposition to what the First Amendment actually says.

That is a state courthouse, not a Federal court building; state govts. have every right to put Christian symbols anywhere they want. The 'Establishment' clause was aimed at restricting the Federal govt. from establishing a national religious sect, i.e. as in Anglican, Presbyterian, etc., as would be expected from an assembly that would have to get colonies formed by different religious sects to agree to form a union. The states themselves were not bound by the Establishment clause, and several had established religions, complete with taxing powers, mostly for paying for public schools. The last state to dis-establish its state sect was Massachusetts, around 1834; like the others who gradually dis-established theirs, it was the change in state demographics that led to their dis-establishment, not some Supreme Court ruling, and dis-establishment of a sect is not even remotely the same as banning Christian symbols in general, as is claimed by assorted deviant vermin and dope-addled idiots.
In fact, if you want to ban Christianity from our laws, you would have to do away with the Constitution and laws in general, particularly the 'Establishment' clause, which comes directly from the founding platforms of the Baptist sect, an Evul Fundie Evangelical sect.. Ironic isn't it ... lol

I have not been dishonest, but you have.
You have not explained at any time why prohibiting the installation of permanent sectarian monuments amounts to telling people to "hide their culture and heritage." Moreover, no one is interfering with people exhibiting their particular culture and heritage, so long as it is not permanently expressed on government property.
It is not "dishonest" of me to oppose the installation of permanent monuments on public buildings, no matter what some people's "religion" are.
You continue to defend these unidentified persons who are responsible without even being able t3o explain what their motive is. They are just spoiled, grandstanding asses trying to start something. Attention whores, basically.
