Every parent knows when a child constantly complains about something someone else is doing, chances are there's more than a little jealousy involved. Such is the case with the freedom from religion foundation and their attempts to stop prayer before city council meetings. If you think religious people are enthusiastic about what they believe, talk to an Atheist. They cling to the faith that there is no god with all their hearts. The difference is that religious people don't try to shut down the right of Atheists to speak their mind. It's a terrible shame when Atheists don't return the respect and try to stop people from exercising their faith. The city council is not trying to coerce anyone to believe, they're just trying to carry out their faith with a few simple words. There are dangerous zealots in this debate, but they aren't the Christians. They're the Atheists hiding behind the constitution to foreclose on freedom of speech...and freedom of religion. I'm Vanessa Oubre and that's my take. What's yours?
