Attention Atheists! Please read the following;

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Liberals have always had difficulty understanding this amendment. They interpret it the way they want it to be interpreted rather than understanding what it actually says. The government cannot ESTABLISH a religion which everyone must adhere to. The government can not prohibit anyone from the free exercise of religion. But with the help of progressive liberals the government has prohibited the free exercise of religion because they want to belief the amendment prohibits the free exercise of religion in government settings. It does not.

Some of us are not defined or bound by the American constitution.

Some of us do not 'celebrate' the Easter Bunny  (well, except by eating one, maybe !).

Some of us do not share a belief that anybody died / was resurrected to compensate

for our 'sins'.

Some of us would therefore prefer NOT to be lumped in with posts made here about

others' religions; philosophies; feelings & judgements on atheism; misuse of language

to define travellers or others;  but despite making that clear, we are still talked at, and down

to, as though all our lives are bound and encumbered and defined by "the gospel according to

Red Sable" and similar.

So if RS declares - on no good authority - that 'Satan' is in a dance video, and that video is

somehow symbolic of her wacko beliefs,  you can't stop any of us putting in an objection.

Simples.  So enough with the protests.

ML, you have misconstrued everything I posted.  RS has every right to post the stuff she does, I never said she shouldn't.  But then, you do already know exactly what I'm saying and you're moving the goalposts, as usual.  She has every right to post it and we have every right to dispute it, BECAUSE she posted it.  If she doesn't want it ridiculed, she should keep it PRIVATE, but if she wants to put it out there, WE have freedom of speech AND religion too.

So, which part of "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion.." don't you get?  If religion is the only reason some people in this country can't marry the person they choose as their partner for life, that's making a law respecting the establishment of religion and is clearly unconstitutional.   And please show me or anyone else where you've been restricted from practicing your religion, as opposed to forcing others to practice it.  You can't, because it hasn't happened.

Religion is a PRIVATE MATTER, it is an OPINOIN that has no place being in the discussion of the laws that restict us all from restricting the rights of another.

 

Prove the Easter bunny is not real.

Aawww!  No emoticon showing a wabbit.
