  1.  @Rain-Dirt  One is also free to have NO "religion". If that right didn't exist one wouldn't be able to choose whatever "religion" one wanted from among those one didn't want. The extremist religionuts have been at war against the separation of "religion" and gov't from BEFORE there was a First Amendment. This is from the North Carolina constitition adopted on December 18, 1776: "XXXI. That no clergyman, or preacher of the gospel, of any denomination, shall be capable of being a member of either the Senate, House of Commons, or Council of State, while he continues in the exercise of the pastoral function. . . . . "XXXIV. That there shall be no establishment of any one religious church or denomination in this State, in preference to any other; neither shall any person, on any pretence whatsoever, be compelled to attend any place of worship contrary to his own faith or judgment, nor be obliged to pay, for the purchase of any glebe, or the building of any house of worship, or for the maintenance of any minister or ministry, contrary to what he believes right, or has voluntarily and personally engaged to perform; but all persons shall be at liberty to exercise their own mode of worship:--_Provided_, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to exempt preachers of treasonous or seditious discourses, from legal trial and punishment." You should use that information -- it is free to copy it: law is always owned by the public -- to back your assertion. But don't grant "religions" the false idea that their BELIEFS are "rights". Rights are defined and secured, as in the above, in non-"religious" LAW.

  2. And it doesn't exempt either the choice or the behaviors from criticism.

  3. @Right is wrong In this instance it's PERFORMANCE -- SHOW for the RUBES. They don't believe it EITHER. I compare their CLAIMS about what they are with their ACTIONS. Their ACTIONS are OPPOSITE of "Christian". As Manfred Mann put it: "I can't believe what you SAY/Because I see what you DO." The old saw is: "Actions speak louder than words."

  5. Reading Marx doesn't make one a Marxist. It makes one informed about what Marxism is beyond "dirty word" epithet. Knowing that, the anti-democratic right-wing Republicans don't read the Constitution they regularly invoke as their excuse for attacking it.

  6.  @liveandletdie7187  Those who have relatives who are MIA/POW tend to fly those flags so the MIA/POW is not forgot. You hate the military AND have no compassion. Do you hate the military because it has no compassion?

  7.  @liveandletdie7187  And you have no compassion who are duped into the military. That makes you different than the military how?

  8.  @liveandletdie7187  Are you that thick? You hate the military because it has no compassion. And you have no compassion. How then are you different from the military?

  9. The majority of German Christians went all in for Hitler.

  10.  @humboldthammer  All of that is dumb-assed racism and anti-Semitism "justified" by writings by Hebrews. It is paranoid nonsense.

  12.  @emm8357  Either quote the relevant portion of the First Amendment back to them, or put this in their face: ___ This is from the North Carolina constitution adopted on December 18, 1776: "XXXI. That no clergyman, or preacher of the gospel, of any denomination, shall be capable of being a member of either the Senate, House of Commons, or Council of State, while he continues in the exercise of the pastoral function. . . . . "XXXIV. That there shall be no establishment of any one religious church or denomination in this State, in preference to any other; neither shall any person, on any pretence whatsoever, be compelled to attend any place of worship contrary to his own faith or judgment, nor be obliged to pay, for the purchase of any glebe, or the building of any house of worship, or for the maintenance of any minister or ministry, contrary to what he believes right, or has voluntarily and personally engaged to perform; but all persons shall be at liberty to exercise their own mode of worship:--_Provided_, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to exempt preachers of treasonous or seditious discourses, from legal trial and punishment."

  13. Christ counseled to pray in private -- not to make a show of it.
