Zen buddhists are out in full force, trying to get evolution banned, stem cell research banned, and to get Zen meditation periods endorsed in public schools. They’ve been fighting to have ‘In Buddha we trust’ put on money and to change our pledge to ‘under buddha’. This is horrible! Why aren’t people outspoken against this group?
[Hint: the sarcastically challenged need not reply. Hint 2: Think about why evangelical/fundamentalist christianity is a target as opposed to judaism, zen buddhism, etc, in the U.S.]

It is quite funny. It is wrong either way but the majority always has the feeling that majority rules.

For the same reason the Christians are trying to get the US government to endorse theirs: power.

The money was supposed to say “In Guns We Trust,” but the manufacturers got into a huge squabble over which was to be the official symbolic state gun.
The deadline for the slogan design ran out before the vote could be taken between the Mighty Desert Eagle or the Deadly Colt Python.
As a result the inoffensive word God was sustituted instead. Winning out over the monetary logical choice of the word Gold by one letter and the cost of ink.
One nation, indivisible under Colt.

I’m okay with evolution getting banned, but I’m NOT okay with “Zen Meditation periods” in school. If you want to meditate, do it AFTER or BEFORE school..
