I stand corrected, Mr. Klingenschmitt. Would you kindly cite the resolution numbers for the following honored religions? Wicca Buddhism Shinto Zorastrian Judaism Asatru Secular Humanism/Atheism (prolly not religions, but hey, I've heard Christians arguing that they were, so why not?) My point still stands. In a country dominated by Christians, isn't it self-serving to "honor" themselves? Especially in light of the recent attack on Jews in a New York subway by self-identified Christians? Neither sounds very Christian to me. Christianity is the default; Our legal holidays are based on many Christian holidays. Non-Christians are ridiculed, attacked, defamed and have to fight for our rights at every turn. Jean Blessed Yuletide in the names of the Oak and Holly kings, and the Maiden, Mother and Crone. I'll see your Jesus, and raise you a pantheon. _______________________________________________ To post, send message to Religionlaw@lists.ucla.edu To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/religionlaw Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.
