With the current administration's handling of the economy, budgets are tight in schools, so they won't dare fuck with taxpayer money to battle these suits. The ACLU can do whatever it wants now....with the efficiency of Hitler's troops marching through Europe 1939-42.

Jesus is Jesus. He doesn't need a portrait really anywhere. He certainly never asked for it. He knew Earth was no place to lay His head. I always use those gorgeous churches erected over decades in Europe as proof. They're empty now. They're just near, old relics in many places. That's because Christianity was never bound up in the architecture in the first place. God's pleased, I suppose, at the effort, but not the detriment of the great commission.

Too many of my fellow Christians are worried about rights that have no bearing on our testimony or witness. That picture will sway no one. An outpouring of our generosity -- most especially for those who don't "deserve" it -- might.

I don't have any problem with your point at all, but the Atheists Civil Liberties Union is what it is and shows it at every opportunity.

Those are just recent examples. There are dozens more.

The "I'm a poor Christian, everyone is out to get me, especially the mean ACLU" act is absurd.

Glad you posted those. Note than none of them were from newspaper links. Oh wait. Baton Rouge covered it. Well it was in their neighborhood and it is the deep South.

The Baton Rouge Advocate isn't a newspaper?

I did a double take and caught that one. You missed my full response.

This is some high-quality trolling. I know that's what it is and it's still annoying the piss out of me.

Of course it is what it is. So? Think of startling and effective it'd be if Christians said "We're done trying to press our influence through schools and government. It hurts us more than helps. Instead, we'll double down on what we're actually called to do, which was serve those in need and spread the word about why we're doing it."

Really? With the efficiency of Hitler's Army?

Don't post again today. Seriously.
