CDZ There Is No Such Thing As Individual Freedom Where Religion Is Coerced

[skews13]

Religion by it's very definition, means adhering to a doctrine of strict laws, that clearly dictate how one must live their life, and a mandate allowing for rule over others by divine right.

You cannot have Liberty, and religion.

The Constitution is very clear on this. There can be no religious test. There can be no religion established.

Jefferson's Statute For Religious Freedom;

Whereas Almighty God hath created the mind free; that all attempts to influence it by temporal punishment or burthens, or by civil incapacitations, tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy and meanness, and are a departure from the plan of the Holy author of our religion, who being Lord both of body and mind, yet chose not to propagate it by coercions on either, as was his Almighty power to do .

Be it enacted by the General Assembly, that no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinion in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.

And though we well know that this assembly elected by the people for the ordinary purposes of legislation only, have no power to restrain the act of succeeding assemblies, constituted with powers equal to our own, and that therefore to declare this act to be irrevocable would be of no effect in law; yet we are free to declare, and do declare, that the rights hereby asserted are of the natural rights of mankind, and that if any act shall be hereafter passed to repeal the present, or to narrow its operation, such as would be an infringement of natural right.

 

[$ecular#eckler]

There is no definite consensus as to the definition of religion, and I will contend that political partisanship is equal to religion. And I am confident that your argument remains true. So long as political partisanship is coerced there is no individual freedom.

And then it goes on.

If the corporate culture is coerced there is no individual freedom.

If a peer group is coerced there is no individual freedom.

If professional standards are coerced there is no individual freedom.


Am I wrong???

Nobody in this nation forces you into any religion. Will you stop this insanity?? God IS liberty. THAT Is where you got the concept. You have free will. You can turn from God and he won't bother you.

Tell that to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah.

I was wondering how Orthodox Jews go into various professions!
Now I know...

The question is why did God intervene?
There must have been a problem that didn't only affect Sodom and Gomorrah.

You are an idiot and a liar.

If you weren't so full of hate you would know that your statement that you can't have Liberty and religion is a lie.

Also, you idiots are so full of hate that you don't understand the difference between freedom of religion and freedom from religion.

Same thing. By definition, a secular state is free of/from religious influence.

Wow. This sounds a lot like the globull warming cult.

But they do deny you the pursuit of happiness because of your faith.

 

[sartre play]

Comming to America our version of Sharia law?

 

[Dayton3]

Tell that to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah.

That was

1) Thousands of years ago.
2) Not in the United States.

 

[Dayton3]

Comming to America our version of Sharia law?

Once again there is no Christian version of Sharia Law.
