Freedom of religion means that you do NOT attempt to force your religion on others through the law.

It means that you do NOT attempt to legislate other religions...be they Muslim, Mormon, Scientology or Christianity.

It means respecting the strength of our First Amendment and not being scared of "others."

Get it together and respect our Constitution.

That is all.

I don't believe that Prayer should be in the Public School system..

I believe that parents should be the ones to decide if their children are taught religious teachings, not the Government..

Whoops marked the wrong one. Of coarse we should have freedom of religion but more importantly people should be protected from and have freedom from religion and religious custom. Let’s start with banning male genital mutilation. There is legislation in place already

I'm getting the greatest laugh ever. Your desire to give me your history, our history... I know that the God stamp is late--so too is your understanding. I used two different meanings of that word. Resurrect your late understanding. The greatest laugh comes from the belly that doesn't care.

Arguably, that's an essential part of freedom of religion.

No argument from me on that point ... HOWEVER, why is it that many of those professing freedom of religion (or government's 'infringement' thereon) are totally comfortable, insistent, actually, that others should see 'eye to eye' with their values, dogma and mores? ... that's my 'from' concern.

reply
iamthem... to ghostrider 2012/11/08 14:21:42

I think that's their right, though. However, where they assume "eye to eye" means legislatively generally, that's where their freedoms stop.

No, but tolerating their rights as individuals and understanding their perspective is, in effect, supporting those ideals.

Idealistic but, in my opinion, unrealistic ... religions have been and continue to be a control mechanism of people ... I do not wish to be controlled by any cult ... and, it becomes dangerous to free thinkers when ostensibly secular ordinances and laws are set in place when, in fact, they are rooted in (some) religious dogma ... think of the now mostly extinct innocuous Sunday "blue laws" to the most extreme mix of religion influencing politics -- as the extreme Islam practiced by and forced onto others by the Taliban ... laws to keep religion(s) 'at bay' are absolutely necessary.

Well said.

Holding oneself to rules that those on the other side violates is the best evidence that one is upholding one's ideals.

Isn't this the land of the free? Justice for all? well then why would our freedom to express our beliefs be stripped and taken away from us. well i tell you this much i do not pray in public nor do i bless my food in public, i will continue to praise my father the same way that i have been praising him for the last 25 years and 4 months of my life. My heavenly father knows my heart and i am confident in the strong relationship that i have with him

As a Christian, I agree that we should all be allowed our religious freedoms. That includes being allowed to pay Christian messages, and the law leaving it alone. If it offends you, look away and get over it. You don't have to believe what I do, so don't get furious when I get public about it. It doesn't bother me what you are. I'd like to share beliefs with you, but not force you into it.

Religious freedom means keeping the federal government completely OUT of questions regarding religion including when, where, how, and whether you practice your religion. This would be especially true in places where you are most likely to spend most of your waking hours like work or school.

reply
iamthem... to Seeker62 2012/09/20 17:12:02

I think the question there, though, gets more complicated when you're talking about government employees.

Doesn't seem complicated to me. If a government employee wants to read his or her religious literature and/or engage in their religious practices like prayer or whatever on their breaks who has the right to tell them their deity asks too much of them? None I think. Or if they want to read the latest athiest literature on their breaks and engage in new age meditation 'taint nobody's business but their own.
