Now we're getting into a discussion of the definition of "is". The fact is, this isn't a rendition of their god, but a bastardization of a secular work of art designed to represent this Countrys acceptance of all people, not just good christians. This is another example of the christians stealing a symbol to twist the meaning. The cross, the fish, and now the Statue of Liberty.

So it's a good thing to want the Country to be based on fantasy, and exclusion, rather than a Constitutional protection of everyone?
And, actually, niether Diane Fienstien, or an assault rifle, are symbols of freedom and fairness cherished by most Americans, but rather an American with an opinion. Besides, you incorrectly assume all liberals support gun control. We do not. Just another stereotype the righties propoganda machine has gotten the sheeple to swallow. Most Democrats, not living in a big city, don't support gun control.

Most of my Family, and quite a few friends of mine, are also christians, and they find this display disgusting and idiotic. They also find it interesting, as do I, that this is all ok with righties, but flag burning is a sin of some type.
