If a private citizen put up a cross or whatever and the AA sued, then I *think* that would qualify as being an infringement on the first ammendment. The point being debated is *should government funds and land be used to promote only one religion" is it not?
But the first amendment states that Congrss shall not pass a law that respects an establishment of a religion nor prohibits the free excercise there of. Depending on the speciics of the situation this would be someone interfereing with someone else's religion and where they can or cannot hang their holy symbols.
Which as I pointed out this might not be a holy symbol at all... just something that looks like a cross.

"This shrine is a cross. It was picked up, trimmed, polished, the word 'Jesus' was carved on top of it, it was prayed over in front of a church for five years, and then it was installed in the WTC memorial with no warning by a priest in a religious service where in the ground was consecrated. This is a working Christian shrine in the memorial and then they had the gall to say it's not religious in nature, that it represents everybody. That's not true. It does not represent Jews, Muslims, Mormons or atheists, and they all had deaths on 9/11."If you wish to see more of my rants, diatribes, and general comments, check out my Twitter account SirRyanR!

10 This is My covenant, which ye shall keep, between Me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt Me and you. 12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner, that is not of thy seed. 13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised; and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken My covenant.If you wish to see more of my rants, diatribes, and general comments, check out my Twitter account SirRyanR!

And God never gave a reason for it ? Thankyou for that LoS. I know he states its a covenant, but I am unsure as to why it is one, as it seems strange to me. Unless God knew about STDs, which he probably would I know, Im a bit thick
And GateFan, I am genuinely puzzled by this, and this is the only place i can asksigpic
