C'mon man! LOL
The stupid part is that if there is no Heaven (and no hell) then how is the sign religious? And isn't it just a honorary title for the street and not a renaming anyway?
But once again, the seperation of church and state is only to prevent the government from establishing a state religion. Clearly this sign does nothing of the sort.
That mosque thing was a matter of principle against the thought of flag planting by our enemies and their insistance on doing it knowing it was in very poor taste and insensitive. I agree with the rest of what you said.
Enemies?
Dude, they're still Americans!
And our Constitution provides them their freedom to worship wherever they choose as it does for me.
Or you might try this. Go into a Mosque to worship. Good luck with that.
To worship what?
If you mean as a Christian, why would I enter a mosque to worship Jesus Christ anyway?
Very coy, you know the point he is making, yet you choose to obfuscate. Pull your head out of your a$s. You can almost, without any problem, go into any church or synagogue in the country. You cannot do so with Mosques. How old are you, 12?

In a non-muslim country one can enter any mosque outside of prayer time. All you have to do is remove your shoes. It's this way in many Muslim countries as well, I've done it myself. Except certain mosques in hard-line Muslim countries with Mecca as the obvious example.
And also, one can wonder into a Morman church, but not to the Temples. Just like I imagine one can't just pop into certain shrines at the Vatican....

So is it safe to assume that the below is what pisses you off about Christians?

why should the government do anything in support of any one religion over another?
it's called "public" space for a reason
if people want to put up crosses, etc, do it on private property

Why not? Contrary to popular fiction, they aren't prohibited.
