So much for freedom of religion. I guess you christians believe that only christians have that right.
I guess people believe that only christians can erect buildings, monuments and statues.
This is America. Everyone can believe as they choose and no one has any right to stop them.
While I don't agree with their faith, I'm an American and we Americans protect everyone's freedom of religion.
They aren't harming anyone and all you christians should stop trying to take freedom of religion from those who don't follow your faith.
That's the thing to remember. Whenever you hear about freedom of religion, or religious concience, or religious expression, in almost every case add the word Christian to the front of it. And you'll get the real meaning.
If its a Muslim or a Wiccan or anyone that the wingers don't like.....then they actively fight the very freedom of religion they demand for themselves. Or as the OP himself has said: 'eradicate Islam'.
I've missed the fighting against Muslims and Wiccans. Were there riots and parades I missed?
So you missed Bachmann and other conservative Christians protesting the 'victory mosque' in New York? Or the conservative State legislatures passing laws to keep Sharia out of civil law? Or conservative Christians calling for the eradication of Islam.....or the banning of the Koran in the US?
If you've missed it, I'd be happy to clue you in.
Shouldn't we keep Sharia Law out of civil law?
Shouldn't we keep ANY kind of religious law out of civil law? That's the hypocrisy. The Christian right don't want religious freedom as they describe it. They what CHRISTIAN freedom as they describe it. And would deny other religions the same power they demand be carved out for themselves in the law.
If a Christian judge religious objects with gay marriage and refuses to act in the capacity of his office in a way that violates his Christian principles regarding gay marriage. But a Muslim judge refused to rule in his official capacity in any manner that violates Sharia law.......well shouldn't we keep Sharia law out of civil law?
Its naked hypocrisy. From Victory Mosques to anti-Sharia laws to this thread itself......Christians often demand one special standard for themselves. And another for every one else.
No thank you. When pressed, even most Christians don't support their conception of 'religious freedom'. As its not religion they want to have special status. But Christianity. Exclusively and specifically.
That is an opinion I'm sure the majority with which the majority will agree. Cristians have not called for the eradication of Islam and the Koran has not been banned.
You might want to check with the guy who opened this thread. He's a Christian. And he's called for the eradication of Islam. And the eradication of homosexuals.
As for the banning of the Koran there are state legislators who are trying to do it. And shocker, they're Conservative white Christians.
