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

[Oddball]

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

Oxymoron.....The secular state isn't free from the religious influence of The State.

 

[DudleySmith]

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.

lol people keep citing Jefferson as if he were King and his words were law or something, and just never mind the other 5,000 or so influential people who had entirely different opinions on the matter, nearly all of them Christians. Also never mind Jefferson had no problems with attending church services in both the Treasury building and the Congressional building as President, so obviously his views on the matter are far different than what you're hoping to lie about here.

Tell that to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Learn the difference between Old and New Testaments.

Old Testament angels were nothing to be trifled with.

They cite whichever founder gives them an opening to try to frame the given issue, in a way that's 180° from what was intended to be set in motion.

We are being coerced into the 'Climate Change' religion today.

Skews sez: "You cannot have Liberty, and religion."

That is incorrect. Satanic liberals did not invent liberty. This nation was built by Christians escaping the charlatans who were destroying Christianity in Europe, one lie after another, encouraging sexually deviant crimes that enriched bad people and penalized the good, just like the Demmies are doing to use calumny which they call "optional truths," among other definition deviances.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

I always thought that your freedom of religion was a reaction to the treatment that the puritan cult got in England. I dont think it was meant to apply to other religions but of course they never specified that.
