Chuck,
Reread my post. I said that Islam and Hinduism both practice religious
discrimination. In fact Islam is monthiestic will Hindi's are polytheistic.
Well, actually, the Hundu religion is
monotheistic as well: many sub-deities, but
only one God.
Modern Christianity has many sub-deities
as well, only they are called angels.
The Hundu God is a loving god, as that of
the Christ, not warlike like the god of
Abraham which faux-Christians worship
today.
In any case, I took issue with your notion
of discrimination... perhaps you should
re-read my post.
As you posted, religious liberty includes the right not to practice. But
religious liberty also includes my right to vote based on religious beliefs, to
work as a minister seeking to help mankind, and even evangelise and pass out
information in public forums.
Yes, you can vote any way you wish, but if
your church holds a non-profit status, then
passing out political fliers is illegal, since this
makes your church a political orginization,
subject to taxation.
You do not have a right to be a criminal,
nor is it ethical (or honest) to usurp the
intent or spirit of that law.
If you really want to help mankind, then
mind your own business (worry about
'saving' yourself, not others) since
historically, religion has been responsible
for most wars, oppression, and human
misery!
Of the 13 colonies that were founded for religious freedom, I can think of
Mass., Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. 5 out of 13.
Several other colonies offered freedom from religious discrimination.
Folks left Europe for the 'New World' mainly
to get away religious oppression - similar to
what we can expect from perverted cults like
your power hungry Pat Robertson's coalition.
You can Justify your actions by any number
of historical revisions, but the fact remains;
America was founded as a secular nation and
religion has no role to play in its government.
Now, if a bunch of crazy Mullah's were to take
your position - wishing to influence government
policy - your position would take a 180° turn in
NY minute... flip-flop!
