This is pathetic. Get religion out of secular activities.

You know it.
Amendment 1 (1st for a reason) Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. In Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli, an agreement signed between the United States and the Muslim region of North Africa in 1797 after negotiations concluded by George Washington (the document, which was approved by the Senate in accordance with Constitutional law, and then signed by John Adams), it states flatly, "The Government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." signed by John Adams |

I think there's just far too much religion full stop in the US. You should all just try being a bit more godless like us Aussies.

I don't care how much, as long as it is kept the hell out of ALL State functions and away from ALL State funding, in ANY way.
No matter what. |

Ah, but if there is no religion involved in government, it won't be like John Lennon's Imagine; there will be major revolts in several states, such as Texas. Especially Texas.

Well honestly I can't see the reason why people are getting into such a huff about it. If you wan't to go find out the origins of the grand canyon google it. Seems to me like it's just a complaint against religion not the Park Services role in allowig this to happen. Didn't seem to me like their were any religious fanatics demanding that this be done.

A very ego-centric way of looking at it.
Many are there to learn and teach their kids, this could throw a huge monkey wrench into it. Also, Google is just as rife with misinformation as their store now is. Separation of Church and State is a founding ideal of our nation, huff worthy. BushCo. are traitors yet again. |

Welcome to the Cellar, cashc.
It's not a "complaint against religion" because they are entitled to believe what they want, and write about it. The Park Service is supposed to steer clear of religious interpretations. When I first heard this story, some time ago, it was obvious someone(s) higher up, either in the Park Service or above them in the Federal Bureaucracy, wants this religious view pushed. That's illegal, immoral and fattening.
