>>No, my point was that if you choose to live in this country and move away from the country you were born in and the beliefs of that country, don't come here and expect those of us who were born and raised in this country to change our way of life for you.<<
Not only was I born in this country, my family on both sides has been here since before their was a United States.
>>As another poster pointed out to me, I don't have to look at that athiest sign if it offends me, so anyone who is not believe in Christmas, doesn't have to look at a tree or nativity scene either, look away, look away, haha<<
So its settled, you don't have to look at their sign, and they don't have to look at your nativity scene.
I haven't noticed the US being any more tolerant than my own country, frankly, and sometimes it has been decidedly less so (slavery ring a bell? segration?), and the thousands of American couples who came here to marry when they couldn't marry there (previously interracial couples, now same sex couples)

The term was coined by
I think she meant that this is not, as July 4th is, a holiday which is American in origin.
We have a good, strong, Christian faith in our family.
I just thought I'd offer the reaction of the person who donated the nativity scene to the atheist's sign:
"I appreciate freedom of speech and freedom of access. That's why they're in there, and hey -- you know, that's great."
Also, I'm not sure if you realized this, but the Menorah was present for several years before the Nativity scene was added this year.
My ancestor remember when their land was stolen and their religious beliefs became "different" or "none American".
What a sad generation this is.
