The US was not founded as a "Christian" nation.
It was founded upon Deism.
Under Deism there is zero tolerance to sacred books, mysterious that only a priest can interpret, and arguments like this one.
If the religious had there way, women would all be covered head to toe, not allowed to eat bananas, and burned alive when their husbands died. (Combines multiple beliefs)
Under Deism logic and man's best effort is paramount and not what a mystic reveals after going into an epileptic fit.
According to many that argue here, logic, and man's interests have no consequence. Instead it is god's or multiple gods.
The watershed falls under logical argument. It can be argued how much impact the site will have. It also can be compared to miles of existing pavement that contains carcinogenic hydrocarbons that leach into the soil. Or compared against goats eating all the native plant life.
If weighed on this basis, TMT instead of harming the watershed could actually be helping it by calling it to attention. Then, more people may recognize the problem of herds of goats.
If weighed against mythical and mystery it can hardly win.
However, Native Hawaiians lost their arguement of sacred worship site once. They were claiming a beach as an sacred ancient site. However, the beach didn't even exist yet.
Since TMT isn't even at the summit, how do they claim ancient worshipping site here?
