[PRCo] Re: Interesting Item On PTM Website

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Cramer;


I don't understand people  'choosing'  to take offense at this.
'Maybe'  it is a way to boost attendance on Sunday at PTM
by attracting those known to be out.  It is entirely too easy
to read something into this isn't it.  Please remember the
Constitution says freedom  'of'  religion,  not  'from.'
This country was established to practice freedom  'of'
religion which was denied in England.  Today it seems
America has become the England of the 1600s.

One could claim  'offense'  at offering a discount to those
who present movie stubs couldn't they.  This is 'Secular
Humanism.'  Would there be objections if PTM offered
a discount from those who presented validation of attendance
at the local tavern?  Odds say that not one person would
object would they;  indeed, drinking and drunkeness is
smiled on approvingly isn't it.  Beer probably flows freely at the
Fairgrounds in which PTM participates.  Mention a church,
a very big part of American heritage, and people take up
arms.  Our priorities are all out of order aren't they.

I doubt it can be claimed this discount is supported through
dues which are hardly a drop in a bucket compared to the
whole budget.

Mr.Brannon:  your post was amusing but in all honesty I
didn't read your signature line until you mentioned it.  The
post itself and the 'name' is all I noticed.
