		<description>If I was in a School which did this...I would make a point of wearing as many different religious (and other things like the darwin Fish, FSM, etc) symbols around my neck as possible...just to annoy the school</description>

		<description>Looking at the picture, it looks like an ordinary cross.

Perhaps the Catholic church is a gang.  I mean, the higher ups do have a lot of bling bling  ;)  golden chalices, scepters, fancy hats, huge cathedrals</description>

		<description>Gang: A group of criminals or hoodlums who band together for mutual protection and profit.

So how is that different from the most visible church figures in the USA? :)

Catholic Church
Pat Pobertson
Rev. Moon

		<description>Hemant, I can&#039;t believe you made a pro-religious freedom post that specifically addressed Christians&#039; rights to free speech and free observance.

Haven&#039;t you heard, this blog is supposed to be increasingly more and more hostile to religion and the &quot;friendly&quot; word is more and more a misnomer.

What are you doing defending the rights of Christians?   Where&#039;mI getting my snarky laugh at others&#039; expense for the day?</description>

		<description>Despite being a near-militant atheist, I&#039;m definitely on the students&#039; side here. The ACLU had a good point when they said the school needs some very specific evidence, because simply assuming that the students are criminals is frankly appalling.</description>

		<description>But the ACLU is a bunch of atheists that want to destroy all religion and burn down the churches with lawyers! They&#039;re just trying to put the religious folk off their guard with this move. Mark my words.

//Kidding, of course.</description>

		<description>Hemant,
Check this out. This guy actually believes the &quot;Atheist Influence&quot; will lead to &quot;Human Extinction. He even made a graph to show how it works. 

Other quirks of his is instituting a National Church, and enacting laws that make it illegal for atheists to speak out. Seriously!

Here is his blog: http://christiancrosstalk.blogspot.com/

Here is a link from his blog to his website and the graph:
