They're a privately held corporate entity, it's their right to proclaim whatever they want. There are all kinds of christian businesses that do this, and that use christianity in general as a part of their marketing strategy and I say, good for them! Check out the christian Yellow Pages: http://www.shepherdsguide.com/ There is however a significant problem in this country wherein the same can not be said of followers of other religions -- it would not be possible in most places for a privately held corporate entity to display wiccan statements in the same place because recent history has proven that a certain sub-set of christians take it upon themselves to become violent toward people who make pagan statements in public. This isn't a pejorative directed at christians, just an observation. Heck, I knew a guy who had somebody firing rifle through his living room window (while others picketed on his lawn) because he published roleplaying games (and someone in the town had apparently taken the Chick Tract to heart). Here's the tract incidentally for anyone who's curious: http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046_01.asp Vox Populi Vox Dei apparently s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:203353 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
