The implication of the thread is that we are given too much freedom in these and similar areas, thus leading to a breakdown of society. So whose morals are going to be those we all have to live by?
No, the breakdown of society occurs when religions are no longer allowed to express themselves outside their own buildings and the idea that once you enter a public area, you are considered to be speaking for the government and cannot then endorse a religion. The sequestering of religion leads to a society that sees no deeper reason for morals and becomes extremely self-centered, as our society is now. If the Rainbow Coalition can get up on the capitol steps and proclaim that it's perfectly alright to be gay, anyone else should be able to get up on the capitol steps and preach the gospel. As long as both groups are allowed and they are both charged/payed equally, it's all good.
