Mr. Brown:
Why can you not be content with a free country? Why does it have
to be Christian? I regard Christianity as pagan and much worse
than materialism and secularism - and I certainly do NOT advocate
the latter. Why must you IMPOSE your Christianity on Jews? This
is where Constantine, the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, and
Hitler got their start. 

You have advocated prayer in schools as a part of the same philo-
sophy. You would have Jewish children forced to sit in class and
listen to prayers in the name of your god - which is slanderous
and blasphemous to us. That is not freedom. Why do you equate
freedom for YOUR religion with freedom generally? That is precisely
what the founding fathers fled when they came here.
