If a church does it, it's illegal and the church folks gt punished.
If the police do it, it's part of the due process and the cops involved get bonuses.
Hmmm.

Something seems a bit off kilter here, guys....

How is this relevent?

And all in all I think it comes down to the angle of the news camera.

I find it amazing how heavily religious America as a whole is.

Qausi relgious in many cases. This is a big country, with many faiths and just as many levels of religious dedication.

My point is don't think that this is a country full of religous die hards who regulary engage in such idiotic misdisplays of faith.

There are ooddles of athesist and two faced belivers I suppose who can balance this out.

My experience is of a lot of people doing whatever the hell they want- but identifying with christianity because everyone else does.
At the same time I nearly got put in a cell in florida once by bible bashers holding signs outside a bar that said 'turn or burn'. Its like they were looking for trouble.

I know children of teenage parents who were concieved on church youth group trips. Whose parents didn't stick together for a moment and thanks to that youth correctional workers in my state will most likely never be out of the job.

Point is I have shared your exact experience before.

I have faith but I don't rub it it other people's eyes.
