If we tolerate a City deciding that we are all "weirdos" and will "desecrate" their parks, then who are we helping? Certainly not ourselves or anyone else. The park in question is a public city park and I'm sorry I wasn't aware that only certain types of people were allowed to use it. I thought that public parks were open to everyone?! Am I mistaken?

If we all "moved" to other cities where we can be tolerated, then who learns we are not just some people to be tolerated, but humans making our choice to practice religion freely in America? This type of thinking makes me sick. I have been in a military family that has fought and died for us to have these freedoms; it makes me sick to think that a parks and recreation board can decide that we don't deserve the same as"Christians." Who are these people? They are not government or the President, but they seem to think they have the same ability to strip us of these rights. If any one of you uses a public park or takes your kids to one, think about what this email implies because of your faith. Apparently we need "Pagan only" parks so that these "Christian Parks" aren't contaminated by our faith. That is what this email implies to me; it brings back thought of "whites only" signs in windows of local shops. We are not that type of people any more; we have moved up in evolution and made everyone equal. Or have we? Did we only make the Christian organizations equal, with the rest of us below them?
