Whether majority or minority, it shouldn't make a difference. I have heard "majority" and "minority" thrown around in this debate at work, between friends, on message boards and it irks me.
And lastly, who the hell is not respecting Christmas? A judge who wants her courtroom to be seen as completely 100% neutral? A jewish man who wanted jewish symbols in an airport ALONGSIDE the Christmas symbols? Who are we talking here?!?!?

An eye for an eye? It is really Christian like? Isn't it in the old Testimate? Regardless...this is not the issue....to obtain respect one must give respect. Not knowing the REAL reason as to why the judge made that decision I cannot speculate as to her justifications. It WAS NOT because others would feel that the courts were completely neutral, unless there was a complaint. It has not been a problem since confederation....so I believe something else is behind this issue.
Nice comparision about the lions.....and what is your point?
