So there has been (and still is, apparently) a big hullabaloo going on about whether or not it's okay to display a Ten Commandments monument on government property. Now, I am not, nor will I ever be, a member of a religious group. I have my beliefs, but for the purpose of this example, let's just say I'm an atheist. In general, religious displays, even on government property, don't bother me. Religion's not my bag, really, but it doesn't offend me in and of itself. My primary issue here is equal time for other religions, instead of Christian Christian Big Three Monotheism everywhere, because I don't like the idea of certain Christian Crazies thinking that they're the end all be all of religion in America.

So, my idea regarding the situation is this...

Let's put up a monument to the Ten Commandments. Okay, fine. However, I insist, nay, DEMAND that RIGHT NEXT TO IT we put up a FULLY ILLUSTRATED monument to the Kama Sutra.

OOOOOH YEAH.


Why am I such a God damned genius?

Well, a lot of people get screwed in government buildings, so it makes sense to me to have the Sutra up there. Efficiency is important!

Here's another good idea. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/rotsman/9844.html) =)

And what happened to "Miscellatheist?" I like that one.

It would have detracted from the example. I'm trying to emphasize the fact that, although I'm not an athiest or what have you, I have about as solid a connection to the idea of religion as they do.
