152. You know what I don't get?
How come they feel they're so damn victimized and oppressed if they're not allowed to have their mythological paraphernalia EVERYWHERE IN THE FUCKING WORLD? Why aren't they happy putting their nativity scenes on their lawns and churches and parochial schools? Why does that crap have to be on the town square, in the public park, and in the public schools too? I'm not putting science displays on the church lawns.

Public property is owned by all of us. Private displays of private faith - ANY faith - have no business on public property.

Why is it that they feel oppressed if they ever see anything that isn't Christian-themed, if they're not allowed to plaster the world with Jesus Junk(tm)? Why can't we have public property for ALL the public? Who gave them the right to proselytize the world?
