The local one that creeped me out read, “THE BIBLE IS THE BEST CONSTITUTION.” Yay separation of church and state! Daniel ---

Be creeped out if your town hall has that sign, but not if a church does. RE the Kids Krusade- you can bet I don’t attend that congregation because I would’ve said something! _L_ That said, I think it’s a sign of ignorance, not maliciousness. RE the word “Crusade”- it’s still in use in Evangelical circules, there are the Billy Graham Crusades, the Campus Crusade for Christ, even anti-Catholic, anti-“Crusades” Jack T. Chick calls his color-comic heroes “The Crusaders”. Btw, [LarkNews.com](http://LarkNews.com), a self-deprecating Evangelical Onion-like parody new site, had a story about how “Campus Crusade” is changing its name to be more with the times- they will now become “Campus Jihad for Christ”. ---

Open your eyes people. The Kids Krusade has got to be sponsored by the military. They realize that kids need to be indoctrinated at a young age about how evil Muslims really are. That way when these kids turn 18 they will be highly motivated to join the army and will request duty in Iraq. ---

You liberals are always overreacting to statements from Christian organizations. This is clearly the youth computer club at the church expressing their preference for KDE over gnome as a window manager.
