Talking Xians: how's it feel?

This is primarily aimed at Xians, but all are welcome to respond. Put yourself in these folks shoes and then ask yourself: <a href="http://www.al.com/news/birminghamnews/index.ssf?/xml/story.ssf/html_standard.xsl?/base/news/1038305783290170.xml" target="_blank">how does it feel?</a>

The suit said Dykes is a Christian who believes there is only the Judeo-Christian God of the Bible and is offended by the placement of the deity in a public park.
Its this level of thinking that causes problems. The "there is only the Judeo-Christain God of the bible. Its fine that he believes that however he should probably learn to just live and let live. Its like those people that were protesting the Godless March in washington. what was that about? Live and let live.

Anyway, if there IS only the God of the Bible, what does that make the Vulcan statue? Just a lifeless, powerless statue (as it is in reality).

I don't quite understand. He probably thinks that mythology isn't God's word and therefore is evil. How these people function in the real world is beyond my comprehension.
