IMO the city was foolish to open a Pandora’s Box by granting the exemption in the first place. If an exemption is granted then it has to be granted to everyone, as it seems to have been, which opens the door to speech/counter-speech.

It would be wonderful if everyone, believer or not, could be counted on to be consistently courteous & civil, but it’s just not gonna happen. It might work for a while, but sooner or later someone is bound to get annoyed, feel insulted, etc.; hence the wisdom of the separation of church & state.

Heck, look at LGF—how often do you see 100% consensus here? I think I’ve only seen it once and I don’t even remember what the subject was…I think it was the horribleness of a really evil crime or something like that.
