Religious signs are poor welcome to city
How do you like this sign on the northwest corner of First Avenue and Superior — right where you make the turn after the Long Bridge welcoming everyone (?) who drives into town this season? There was also one very similar that was put up in that same spot welcoming everyone to Thanksgiving in Sandpoint with a different Bible quote giving thanks for Jesus our lord. I find these signs very offensive.

Why can't people express themselves
Regarding Mr. Chris White's letter about the openly religious sign on First and Superior, I would just say, relax Chris. If you are free to not believe, then please don't be offended by those who do. Go on with your life and let other's pay respect to their beliefs or lack thereof, how they see fit. I can't imagine that the sign was put up to offend anyone. It's one person's freedom of speech and religion in action. One person being thankful and welcoming in the name of his hometown.
