So are we saying that plate is inflammatory and we wouldn't want it because it might make good Christians go into a blind violent rage? I mean I totally agree but I didn't expect a majority to acknowledge that the immediate response from Christians to the mere existence of atheists is to become violent and start stoning and burning niccahs. I thought the general consensus was that only Muslims were like that

Maybe people don't realize that you have to sue to compel the government to change its policy. She didn't just right out sue them either. She tried to contact them first assuming it was a mistake. They repeatedly brushed her off. The state can't give preferential treatment to any particular religion (or lack thereof even). If they made it to where no one was allowed to do it, this would even be an issue. For the people complaining that she's doing too much...they went out of their way to ban the word knowing it's unconstitutional. Things don't get changed...even the small, seemingly irrelevant stuff..without making a fuss. It's the principle of the matter and the message it sends.

By the nature of our very existence, we're not "objectionable"...I'm objectionable for a whole host of other reasons, thank you very much. Evil Smile

I think what's interesting here is that some of the responses in this thread reflect the majority mindset where unequal treatment for a minority class is usually met with "I don't see what the big deal is". I mean these are black folks that understand the problem of unequal treatment for minorities, no matter how minor, and the effects of having that treatment institutionalized by the government in any way. They get it. But when given a chance to be in a majority position over another minority group, in this case, atheists, suddenly none of it makes sense all over again.

Basically.

The responses would be different if the state rejected "blackpwr" but accepted "whitepwr". We might then see what the big deal is.

Don't know about y'all but I'm about to try this in NC except I need to sue for discrimination. I need some emotional distress payments to cover school costs...oh and protect freedom of speech and all that jazz. Stern Smile
