I've got mixed opinions on this.. I don't honestly
believe that _historical_ references to Xianity need
to be scrubbed from our public life; if you really
want to pick a fight about this kind of stuff, what
about "In God We Trust" and the prayer before sessions
of Congress or Bush everytime he says "God bless
America"?
*shrug* ACLU still gets my money, though. Good on
them for raising the issue; I don't think these things
should be automatically assumed as right or wrong, but
SHOULD be discussed, in court, in press, in public.
