protect my freedom from your religion on February 5th, 2008 11:26 am

Why must you use public-supported Internet to promote your religious intolerance? Churches should keep quiet. HYPOCRITES

First you let them hold RELIGIOUS COMMUNION SERVICES in City Parks, and then they start trying to run your life! Next they’ll be mouthing off about politics. SCARY

This violates my constitutional rights to be free from your religion!!!!!!

Gosh, what can I say to that?

Got to wonder who the bigot really is, though.

Maybe it’s the guy frothing at the mouth claiming everyone should be forced to accept his view of what religion is… as if his rant doesn’t reflect some heartfelt worldview he trusts in dearly?

You are free to worship your secular idols, while others are free to worship in the way they choose. To claim you aren’t religious is laughable. To use that claim of “neutrality” or “irreligion” to silence others is not only dangerous talk, but unsupportable in Supreme Court 1st Amendment case law.

I think it’s a positive thing that Xians are trying to work out how to worship and serve the community together. Really good things could come out of that.

Anyways, we write what we want to write. Read the Terms of Service and twirl.

In regards to protecting your Freedoms, et al…..I’m thinking that my taxes, like yours, have helped to pay for that City Park, you refer to. Did anyone ‘force’ you to attend? Was anyone ‘damaged’…? Please endure to locate something really, really important to turn your overspent energies towards… We all have areas of uses of ‘our’ Public properties,
that are ‘misused’…in our respective opinion…

Using the same Constitution, I have dodged bullets in Vietnam, for MY rights, to attend Communion in one of OUR Parks….

I am so very curious if you even Vote? Personally, I have NEVER NOT Voted…I voted ‘Absentee’ from Vietnam, 40+ yrs ago….So, please…do not start with the Parade of ‘your’ Constitutional Rights….they belong to ALL of us… Your attempt to coerce them into your ‘capitalized’ name-caling……merely brings belittlement upon yourself…Please leave MY Constutional Rights out of your type of tirades.

Try to go & offer some help @ a homeless shelter….work on a home for Humanity…make some, any, attempt to reach-out to your fellow species…you will not be able to ‘hold’ all the joy that will bring you…I give you Peace…
