I see the point you and Krista are making. I still think that even though it doesn't necessarily involve God, it is inevitably religious and the comment was obviously public. I can't understand why any of that has to be mentioned in a newscast. But it is far less serious than the Ten Commandments being displayed in a courthouse or someone being forced to (or even asked to) pray in homeroom. I have to give you that. But it pissed off both of my parents, and that really got me going. My dad is quite the conservative and he found it very inappropriate, so that signified something to me.
