I'm comfortable with my beliefs and I'm willing to accept open display of other's beliefs...I guess since I believe that all religions worship the same god, it is less offensive to me than were I an atheist or a fundamentalist Christian or a Islamic purist. Now when the families of soldiers are denied the right to display a pentagram on their headstones...that's a different matter!
Thanks for clarifying.
Your "key word" is "accept".
We all need more of that. Thanks.
