[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

How is asking someone if they have a higher priority than freedom a false choice? Many people place security above freedom. You seem to think that your religious belief is a higher priority. It is simply a question of priorities, what do people value the most?

The false dichotomy comes in assuming the religious belief and freedom can't work in tandem, rather than having to be priorities, one of which MUST be ranked above the other. The Founders would have strenuously differed with you, even the ones who weren't exactly orthodox Christians.

It is not an either/or question that you are trying to imply.

Well, then you might want to try re-phrasing the question if that's not your intention, so that you don't sound like that's what you're trying to say.

The false dichotomy comes in assuming the religious belief and freedom can't work in tandem, rather than having to be priorities, one of which MUST be ranked above the other.

I said nothing about religious belief in my question. The fact that you continue to misrepresent the question even after being told repeatedly that it was not part of the question, indicates that you are not mistaken, you are intentionally lying.

I happen to believe however, that your emotions tend to control your responses and you can't separate 'belief' from your 'Christian' religion. Maybe you would do well to follow one of the teachings of Christ and remove the beam from your own eye, before trying to remove the mote from someone else's.
