And this is why I scroll right past the reams of civil, and reasonable appearing, wallpaper paste you fill your posts with, Lauren.

Nonbinding resolutions about Israel are not anything to get all wound up about. I think there's more reason to be concerned when, for one example, opponents to gay marriage try to force the passage of legislation based on their religious beliefs.

So you don't mind civil resolutions embodying Christian theology as long as they don't gore one of your pet oxen?

Yeah. And that's why we have a First Amendment, and a Supreme Court to shove the bullshit right back down the offending throats.

That's also why the authoritarian extreme of the left is a bigger threat to liberty, to my way of looking at things, than the fundy douchebags of the right. Pop psychology has never been clearly established as an official looney religion, and isn't explicitly forbidden in our founding documents.
