The Rowan County government must have plenty of money sitting around, for them to be able to afford a legal fight for something that's plainly illegal.

Hmmm, sectarian...
This is not the language of one who embraces diversity. Well, unless diversity is not diversity at all, but some form of preferential treatment.

I wish more people would remember this...
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."

Agreed, Thomas,
But how will anyone know have any evidence of the piousness of those Commissioners if they can't wear it on their sleeves?
I shrink from those who proselytize in all of its forms. And in business, when someone opens the conversation with "I'm a Christian", or some variant, I know - for sure - that I'm about to get screwed.
Have a blessed day!

I am most wary of flockless preachers.
