Then the ACLU will get involved and the christians will be all up in arms about how oppressed they are, how godless the ACLU is, and how this country is going to hell in ye olde handbasket!

Dear "clip-on", I've always thought that common courtesy and respect work better for meaningful communication. Beats name-calling and sarcasm in that regard, one would think.
