In case you ever wondered...

The next time someone complains that people only put up a fuss when you try to display Christian Symbols on public property, check out this article. That's right, the American Jewish Committee opposes putting a menorah on public property.

Thats probably because the Jewish community doesn't feel that rational thought and religion are incompatible. That, and they don't put up religious symbols in their own temples.

Point of Order

Jews don't have temples. They had one. They didn't build another.

I wish the majority religion would be that principled.
