4. Fine. They can pay for their "pretty crosses" with their "pretty money"

Villanova is hardly an institution that is scraping to get by.

They can live and let live as much as they want with their own private funds.

Once my tax dollars (and yes, my tax dollars -- I still pay a percentage of my $$ to PA even though I live in FL) pay for it, it's not live and let live. It's a government funding of a religious institution's bridge

I'm glad your friends don't have an issue with the intrusion of religion into the public sphere. Take a look at the recent posts I've made in teh Religion group about the intrusion of Religion into public schools. GIve them an inch and they take 15 miles.

No thanks. Not on my dime.

Maybe they can hold a fucking bake sale like public schools in Philly have to do to get any kind of gov't money for expenses that isn't covered by the local/state budget. Oh but Villa-fucking-nova gets a goddamn bridge with pretty crosses. How twee.

Leaches, all of them.
