The Impaler's Wall

[Will Linden]

  Since people are worrying about "the right" having the nerve to extol 
their own religion(s), I note that I got no reactions to this one back in 
January, so i post it again::


  Net.gossip is now giving its attention to Sharkey "the Impaler" 
announcing that he is running for governor of Minnesota as the "Vampyre's 
Witches and Pagans Party". (Any pagans present go yell at him, not me... 
http://johnathonforgovernor.us), with a platform which calls for the public 
impalement of "convicted terrorists".

    I found on reading his agenda that he proposes to


"erect the "Wall of Religious
Beliefs" in the Capital. This wall will have everything
from the Wiccan Rede to the 10 Commandments."

  So, is this project considered sufficiently nondiscriminatory? Or would 
it be assailed as an establishment of "religion", as opposed to irreligion? 
Or does the aim of extolling religious freedom constitute an overriding 
secular purpose?
