The play "on christian faith" was his card, not mine, whenever I see someone add his/her faith as "the superior to all others" (regardless of what faith that it), I get very defensive. Contrary to popular belief, this country was not built on a "Christian value", in fact the founding fathers distinctly and eloquently placed a separation between church and state, even though they do have "in god we trust", they did not spell out who's god, or what god (and I could care less what race or religion someone is, I like them as the person they are, or I do not. Same reason why I married for love, and not the religion my wife is), just "in God", which can be taken 1,000 different ways.......You can argue the point until we are all blue in the face, but the facts remain.


Back to the subject at hand, if it was not for the plane flying towards the picture of the twin towers (it is poor judgement and taste), I would not have been so critical. But since it's there, and it set the hair on the back of my neck straight up, I was, and I still am, hyper critical of the art piece as a whole. My opinion of it will not change, you all have the right to agree, or disagree with my statements, in part, or as a whole. That my friends is the beauty of being a US citizen.
