Wrong. Folks like you just think you have the right to do wrong, because you fail to reverence God, or acknowledge His ultimate sovereignty.

This is similar to what we talked about before. People have the *right* to do whatever they want - as long as they don't consciously harm others or infringe on others' rights.

And God has given us the *right* to choose. It is obvious that He has - because we DO choose. And we all sin. If we did NOT have the *right* to - we would NOT be able to. It is obvious. We have the *right* to live our lives the way *we* choose. Even if others do not agree.

This is the thing that the Islamists cannot understand either. They also believe that no one has the *right* to choose. And they WILL kill you if you make your own choices.

You have the ACLU's vision of what liberty is.

The Bill of Rights, to them, includes the *right* to abort babies, euthanize the elderly and infirm, publish and propagate porn, make merchandise of women's bodies, erase the borders, fill our young people's bodies with drugs, keep felons free to spread mayhem, theft of the people's substance through every conceivable means of taxation, etc...but never can it be read to include the right to religious speech or even thought, political speech or activism that doesn't agree with their marxist agenda, self-protection, property rights, or the right to life.

Arguing with them is exactly like arguing with you and your friends...largely a fruitless exercise. Which is why I equate you with them. There is no discernable difference.
