nor do I hear a peep from the ubiquitous "stompers" out of Christianity. Where can they be? Should I call them up and tell them about our strange and unusual town where so much rampant Christianity occurs unchecked? IS there an 800 number I should call? The stompers-out are there, I feel sure, or else why would the Christians say they are? And your town is most peculiar, and not typical -- sadly, other towns don't have those really huge buildings for Christians to pray in, and their local statutes prohibit praying in "private homes. "And who can afford the huge fines levied on those who pray on non-public property-- fines outrageously doubled for silent prayer?! Why, you have to be rich to pray in most towns, so they need the schools, for heaven's sake! I'm surprised that the users of those huge buildings you describe can afford to maintain them, what with the huge federal and state taxes religious entities must pay on such valuable real estate! The very idea of silent prayer is nonsensical anyway. God is ancient, and can thus be rationally presumed to be hard of hearing. I personally think religions shouldn't have to pay taxes on real estate or any other businesses they engage in and profit from. I would happily volunteer to take up the slack with my own tax dollars. Why not, it's only money! (This is all the fun I can have in this segment. I have to go get some work done.)
