First amendment is freedom of speech and religious institutions are specifically named.

One thing one does not have to do is be around and listen to what they don't want to hear. A Christmas Fair (taking the word Christ out) Xmas. So is it a Christmas Fair or Xmas Fair - is it sponsored by a church -or is it sponsored by Christians. Well if they allow preachers to preach they must be Christians - so don't go to a Christian event if one doesn't want to hear Christian preaching.

For the past 40/50 years Christ is slowly been taken out of Christmas celebrations because people don't want to hear of him, but it's still about the birth of Jesus and has been since it was first established whether mixed with paganism or not.

Heck I don't like rap lyrics and because I don't like rap lyrics I wouldn't go to a rap concert.

@SDavis I think the original post was about a guy in the street (with a microphone) preaching, obviously loudly, to random passers by who had chosen to go shopping. Therefore most of what you say is irrelevant.

@pipedreams you think - you think - the original post said!!!????? That's not what the post said that I replied to person.

Frankly I don't care whether what I said is irrelevant to you or not or anyone else.

@SDavis Hi again, just looking back at the OP which first highlights:-

(this before speaking of one instance)

.....I accept I was in part wrong in my response to you.

I apologise.
