    Kinda like how they read the Bible.

        The Author,
        Even worse. A professor of Law that writes like an SJW student. wow. bad, very bad.

        She must be using her professor privilege to make a jackass out of herself.

The meaning is manufactured by the faith and it can be rejected out of hand for that reason.
          Yeah, the underlined is correct. Unfortunately over many years, and changing cultures meaning can become lost upon a "surface reading", which is why you go back and look at more than just that. There is a little something called "context" which you are apparently too lazy to understand.

                Keep in mind that the question is purely academic for him, as he lives on the other side of the pond.

                  The Author,
                  She is still an idiot - with letters after her name - which only makes it official. The fact is FF, the monument in question is not a violation of the First Amendment as written.
                  Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

                      No. The architecture of war memorials surely reflect the sensibilities of the time when they were built. I do not think we are entitled to rewrite history just because our own sensibilities might be different now and I do not think that a 90 year old war memorial has anything to do with church/state separation as it is currently debated.

                          I amen'd that. I think.

                          But, for grins, do you feel that same way over the civil war monuments that are causing such hyperflatus from many?
                          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
