I was looking for this old thread the other day and couldn't find it; today, I finally did. It's important (and I miss WGSmith), so here's the link to it for our continued reference (as detractors of Liberty often try to claim the ACLU is anti-Christian):
ACLU Defends Christian Liberty (from the old bnet) Enjoy! --Kj |

Thanks for the link, Kj
"When it shall be said in any country in the world, my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend, because I am a friend of its happiness: When these things can be said, then may the country boast its constitution and its government." -- Thomas Paine: The Rights Of Man (1791)

I'm particularly proud of the way I found it, finally, after combing through the archives (a pleasant task, actually, remembering many old threads and perusing). The old boards still have that annoying, mixed-up, non-chronological thing happening, so you can't make a detailed search.
I found a reference to the thread I wanted so that I had its exact title (I couldn't remember the title before), and then I could google it with quotation marks. Bingo! :) --Kj |

excellent work!
on the old boards i would occasionally link to the religious liberty section at the aclu site. (here 'tis: http://www.aclu.org/religion/govtfundin … 60824.html) this would sorely provoke the aclu-haters, some of whom appear to spend their entire waking lives hating the aclu. (full disclosure: i'm not a member.) |

I just read the first couple of pages. Funny, it only took until the fourth post before the tolerant people started slamming Christians.
Its nice to see some things never change. |

[QUOTE=Ithilien;489338]Two gifts for you, CB:
First, a hankie. So terribly sorry your feelings were hurt. Secondly, a clue: Intolerant people come in all groups. Shouldn't be news. Bonus gift: Some people think "tolerance" means "give me props." It doesn't. --Kj[/QUOTE] Didn't say I was hurt. In fact, I find it very funny. |
