I hope you didn't change your siggy due to my comment. It certainly did not offend me!!! I think everyone should have a right to state their opinion. Opinions should never be taken offence to. THe only opinions I think people should keep to themselves are slanderous opinions toward one person directly. Like If I were to say, "ILoveHarry is a big, dumb. ugly, jerk....," sort of thing... (Using my own name so not to offend:)) That's just mean. When it comes down to it, every group has great people and people that suck. It's just the way of the world. OH wait!!! The one exception to that rule: STV.com... everyone here is great, none of us suck! We should rule the world!

This, sorry. And in Middle School and Elementary School, students CAN'T participate in religious clubs, at least in Colorado.

You can, but at the schools here, the SCHOOL can't sponsor after-school activities that are religous in Middle & Elementary Schools. Other groups CAN meet there, however, later that night, ect, but never until after school.

Yes, High School in this area allows before school, ect, religious groups to meet, but I'm talking middle (junior high) and elementary schools.

Y'know what I think about the secularism argument has already been inadvertently stated on this site. Agnosticism; don't know, don't care is perhaps the easiest way out of this predicament. I'm agnostic myself and find that so long as a person doesn't cram their religion or atheism down my throat, I couldn't care less about it. This does not mean that I blithely disrespect their religion, just that I view it as a personal and private matter best left to their own devices.

Oh and what about 'repoman' for republican man to shorten it up. If this has offended anyone please disregard it as an attempt at humour.

As long as religion isn't dragged into the government or somewhere where it would directly interfere with our affairs as a whole, and they don't shove my face in the religion, I really don't care what happens. I see notices and flyers for church groups everywhere, to meet in public places; there's nothing wrong and I'm fine with it.
