May Your Religion Strike Me Down
"Democrats like yourself are trying to force religion out of the public spectrum entirely and outlaw Christianity."
This comment was made by Edward Sanders in the post directly below this one referring to me and my fellow Democrats.
Now, I may not be the most religious person in the world, but I certainly have no problem with a person practicing their religion out in public. In fact, I think a popular political statement from people of both parties is "God Bless America." In fact, W uses it to conclude almost every address he gives. I have no problem with people openly worshipping their Spirits, God or Gods, Allah, cows, chickens, transparencies, Jesus, goats, Satan, withcraft, swimming pools, statues, whatever. In fact, I pay tribute to my TV on a daily basis.
Now, what I do have a problem with is someone tryin to force their religion on someone else. Yes, people think God says abortion and homosexuality is wrong and they should do what God says. Thats perfectly fine with me (except the discrimination against homosexuals which is disgraceful) . If you believe this, don't have an abortion and don't go have consenting sex or any other kind with a guy if you are a guy or a woman if you are a woman. For those who prefer to make up their own mind, they should have the right to do so just as you did when you chose christianity or islam or hindu or whatever.
Also, Democrats have nothing against you praying in schools or public places. In fact, most kids have many of an opportunity to take time to pray during there time at school from 8 to 3:15 or whatever time they go. They can even gather themselves in a group together to do so at several points throughout the day. I mean, come on, do you really need a teacher or a judge or a principal to stand up there and lead you in prayer? Nope. Is the only time you can pray when all your classmates or coworkers or peers are praying with you? Nope.
Now, if people would like to start a daily cultural learning class where we did a prayer or dance or whatever from every religion including a none religious day for atheists, then I have no problem with that. The problem is they usually insist upon a monotheistic religion, usually Christianity. That just happens to seem a little unfair to the rest of the religions out there.
Lastly, could you please tell me when it was put into the Bible or the other documents that your government must enact laws in order for you to practice your religion? Cause, honestly, I just haven't seen it.
If you want to practice your religion, you are perfectly free to do so. Just don't insist upon passing laws forcing others to follow your religion. They have the freedom to worship what they choose too worship if they even choose to worship and not worship yours.

all the previous deleted posts above these were by a friend being annoying and so they deleted them themselves.
Alot of atheist or non-religous people think homosexuality is wrong and there should be laws to dissuade the practice. Just like there are laws which dissuade other wrong acts.
First of all, prove homosexuality is wrong. It hurts no one.
Second of all, homosexuality is legal in the United States and is listed as one of the groups discrimination is barred against under federal law and Mississippi State University law. Hence, discriminating against homosexuals is wrong, not homosexuality.
What is wrong is discrimination. More so, not having enough conviction to sign your name is not only wrong but cowardly. We must remember that even the KKK wore masks. Not signing your name is the same thing.
