The concepts or 'religious freedom' and 'free speach' are all well and good if you are talking about the United States and a select few Western Nations. But, these principles are null and void when discussing the countries where Islam is so firmly rooted and festering. Freedom and free speach are completly anathema to these Islamofascist and their ilk. In fact, if they were to truly embrace these concepts, Islam would fall flat on its ass.
Oh! This drives me absolutly bonkers! "Well, it's in Gods hands now" - adbicating any responsibility for their lives or the lives of the people around them, head shoved firmly in the sand (and well up their ass) blind to the fact that they are the only one that really have any control of their destiny.
I'm all for eradicating "under god". In the mean time, I fervently boycott any business or organization that proudly displays “under god”, that stupid fish symbol or a bible passage. They aren’t getting my money. People need to realize this is discrimination, same as any other. Perhaps when they do, things will start to change.
"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men" - Samuel Adams
This is an attempt, conscience or not, to dilute the meaning and general understanding of terms. This is how we get “creation scientists”. The faithful cannot, with reason and truth, directly challenge concepts such as freethinking and evolution so they “join the club” in order to water down the ideology. The prospects of large numbers of people being freethinkers is so much less threatening if everyone can be a freethinker in their own special way.
