It has to tell you something when a state thinks so little of their residents... btw, Oregon is the other state. Oh, where I live we pump our own gas and yesterday (12-08-08) I filled up for $1.43 per gallon. Gotta love it and my .50 Barrett. "I'm from Jersey" might as well be "I'm from Germany". Stupid laws, stupid state. E. Zach Lee-Wright I notice New Jersey is one of only two states where people are unable to pump their own gas.

Why would one want to unnecessarily offend someone who was otherwise inclined to be their ally? “ Because most Christians are not nearly uptight enough to be offended over a commonly used expression. And those “Christians” who are that sensitive wouldn't be joining any “coalition” anyway because NO ONE else could live up to their standards. As a Christian myself, I find your behavior insulting. FIRST, you make all of us look like whiny fools because your argument is based on the notion that all Christians should be offended. And SECOND, you are being a whiny fool just like those liberals who are aggressively against religion. The ones who cry out when ever someone (other than the president-elect) expresses his beliefs in public and try to make others feel “wrong” for saying “Merry Christmas.” We are supposed to say “Happy Holidays” right? Well, my happy holiday is Christmas. So Merry Christmas everybody. :) “It seems to me that the completely gratuitous use of the name of Jesus in a manner likely to be found offensive to Christians is not wise in building coalitions for the protection of 2nd Amendment rights.

You're not the only Christian or soco on this site, and no one else has mentioned it. Just turn the other cheek and remember that sometimes you'll have to compromise on who you coalition with as well. Honestly, I’ve never heard of anyone so sensitive about it, Melvin.

You don't mind offending Christians. I guess we are all clear on that. Thanks for the clarification. Do you take the same position toward offending Muslims? OK. You don’t mind offending Christians.

It was use of slang. I meant nothing by it. I know plenty of Christian folks who would not use that slang, but who also wouldn't jump down my throat for using it either. Melvin:

There's no government involvement (not even indirectly), and so the First and Second amendments aren't in play.
