Okay, I assumed up to this point that you understood my comments and their intent and were just trying to be a prick. Now I know that isn't the case. Instead, you simply don't understand a) what I said or b) my point.
I'll break it down very carefully for you so you understand, mmkay?
You said:
I noticed your use of the word 'force' and thought it silly so I said:
I agree that there is a difference between a mall and government-owned land. It was never my contention that there wasn't such a difference. I also realize that displays on government-owned land are different than displays in malls. I never stated that they were the same.
Instead, I used the mall analogy to point out that using the word 'force' is overly dramatic and rather silly. No one is forcing their dogma on you; if anything, they are simply advertising their position.
Clearly, you just didn't understand.
Oh, this might help.
Dictionary.com defines the verb 'force' as:
18. to compel, constrain, or oblige (oneself or someone) to do something: to force a suspect to confess.
19. to drive or propel against resistance: He forced his way through the crowd. They forced air into his lungs.
20. to bring about or effect by force.
21. to bring about of necessity or as a necessary result: to force a smile.
22. to put or impose (something or someone) forcibly on or upon a person: to force one's opinions on others.
Get it through your apparently thick skull that no one is forcing anyone else to do anything. Non-Christians who see this sign aren't forced to become Christians. Just relax.
Oh, and with the whole 'blah blah curb-stomping I'm an internet badass' silliness, just please grow up a little. Chances are you are 4'11, 275 pounds, and live in your mom's basement. Even if you aren't, I still don't care. No one does.
Oh I understand precisely what kind of weak assed argument you are trying to make. However, as laughable as it was, a mall doesn't represent a collective tax base like a court house does. When consumers go to a mall they have the choice to remove themselves from christian advertisements. This is not the option when you are using tax based public property for the sake of validating your faith.
How does it feel to have to go back and give itemized points of an argument so stupid that even the ghost of Jim Varney cringes at your forum input?
CHANCES ARE, eh? you wouldn't say that if we were standing in the same room. Take your fucking medicine and move on down the road, pussy.
