We Ought To Be Fair About This

Here is the situation...

• In Montana there is a large statue of Jesus on public land at a ski resort.
• The statue has been there for 57 years.
• The U.S. Forest Service had announced that the statue was going to be removed after being petitioned for removal by The Freedom From Religion Foundation.
• This removal edict was met with 90,000 comments from those wanting the statue to remain.
• The Forest Service has now said it will renew the statue’s permit for another 10 years saying the statue “is important to the community for its historical heritage”.
• The Freedom From Religion Foundation is now really upset.

The Smartfella is nothing if he is not a compromiser. I think I am safe in assuming that the The Freedom From Religion Foundation people are Atheists and I have a brilliant solution for this thorny issue...

• The U.S. Forest Service ought to construct a statue foundation of equal size and weight to the one on which Jesus has stood for 57 years.
• This statue foundation ought to be placed right next to the Jesus statue.
• On this statue foundation ought to be Nothing.

That’s my solution. One monument to God for the Religious and one to Nothing for the Atheist.
I told you this was going to be a brilliant solution. I do not see how anyone could argue with this compromise plan ... Or could they?
On the other hand, they might accuse me of being a Smart Fella or a Wise Guy or even a Smart Alex.
Would I kid u?
