Summum

[Rick Duncan]

I think Eugene makes a great point about the divisiveness caused by the endorsement test.

When you enjoin a governmental religious display (such as the Nativity scene I keep "harping" about), you don't merely silence the govt. You also impose silence on the willing audience (private citizens who wish to see the display). These are many of the same people who were told to avert their eyes when they were offended by the Gay Pride display. This adds insult to injury, and results in people reasonably feeling like outsiders who must play a "heads you win tails we lose" game with their secular counterparts in the marketplace of ideas.
