I care because of what it stands for, and am sorry you can't seem to see and/or appreciate and/or accept that. I am not an activist and don't go around drumming up partitions - nor do I thump my chest and scream "I am a Christian look at me".
That does not mean that I don't care that our nation is getting away from its trust in God - and yes, I care that we overtly demonstrate that trust by putting "In God We Trust" on our coins.
Did you have some boss in the past to try to force religion in you? You surely seem anti-organized religion. I am not going to try to tell you organized religion doesn't have its shortcomings, but it does give like-minded people an opportunity to worship together, and it bothers me that you paint all with the same brush.
Finally, when you ascribe untoward intentions to those who wear their Christianity openly, please do not forget that Christians believe in the Bible, and Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV) says:
"Then Jesus came to them and said, "18All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
The big difference between Christians and the Muslims who would destroy us is that modern Christians don't fulfill the Great Commission by force.
I am done with this thread.
