And there have been religions that require human sacrifice. Moloch and Baal and the Aztecs for example. There is a limit. Plus Nazism isn't really any different than Islam except Nazis weren't allah-worshippers.

I'd love to know what you guys are doing differently than I'm doing. I don't even use spam filters, and I never get obscene spam, or any spam for that matter.
I know this was not directed at me, but I'll take a stab...
It's a legal loophole through which anyone with a belligerent philosophy can declare their ideas as religion. You can't scream "fire!" in a crowded theater without reason.
So why does the Supreme Court defend religions that call for the deaths of American Citizens for no reason other than they don't practice said religion?
That's true and tpaine's commie version of history is a lie. You call me the Taliban? Well, I call you a red-loving bootlicking fruit!
Knock off the personal attacks
youre right.
Porn cant simply be outlawed anymore...too many avenues to acquiring it.
Had they known better, they'd have declared their philosophy a religion.
I've had two different web based email accounts for about three years now and have never received any spam. It's a free account too.
One with 100 megs of storage and the other one is unlimited.
The main reason I don't receive pornography type spam is that it's well known that I don't even own a pornograph.(I've been waiting a long time to say that)
there is also a difference between a religion and a cult. a religion and a political system posing as one.
neither cults, nor political systems that pose as religions are entitled to first amendment protections... and it is the ROLE of government to determine what IS and what is NOT a legitimate religion.
freedom of religion is not absolute, nor is the use of guns.
you cannot misuse your guns on other americans, and continue to have those guns, as a convicted murderor in federal prison.
I want to start a religion called the first church of NOTAX. the sacrement would be something that revolved around me buying property with my 10 percent tithe and keeping it for my family, and not paying any property taxes on it either.
... yup..
a religion.
no taxes.
none.
it's my right as a religious nutcake to beleive whatever I want and I believe that taxes are theft, "thou shalt not steal" comes to mind as the first commandment. yup... a new religion that MUST be tolerated because I BELIEVE it is a religion.
Governments determine what is, and what is NOT legitimate religion. And I would hold that Islam, like the nazism you mentioned is NOT a religion... but a political murderdeath cult.
our freedom of religion is NOT absolute.
and the state and religion cannot be joined at the hip. not without bloodshed and violence.
Government must make that judgement as to where religion and government can coordinate their faculties to benefit people. Not religious nuts on a crusade to 'take america for (their version of)god'.

You must lay off calling other heterosexual freepers who disagree with your taliban like obsession with controlling the literature others choose to read... fags.
porn is legal.
I don't use it.
never did.
have you?
your obsession with calling others fags, is very strange.
the Taliban would agree with me?
I don't advocate theocracy. The First Amendment did not purge the U.S. government of religious influence or even from the endorsement of religion. The idea that it does comes from an irreligious alien ideology that has more to do with the bloody massacre known as the French Revolution.
Not the christian right tj...
just YOU.
nobody in the mainstream christian right espouses the extent of things you do regularly.
you come off as a bitt nutty.
and wrong.
Europe was Christian for centuries and it was a blood bath.
The Church at Rome ruled over the kingdoms of Europe... with impugnity.
The founders NEVER intended to duplicate that here.
Standing history on it's head and taking things out of context to assert they did... is dishonest or delusional. take your pick.
Religion and state must and will NEVER be allowed to marry in this United States, NOR was that ever the founders intent. Take it up your cock and bull story asserting it's aok with the founders, with a like minded igonoramous freeper who has not studied this warped outlook for several decades.
you are on your own... 1 percenter.
Some people love their porn so much, they are willing to kill and die for it!
They even think our Forefathers gave up their own fortunes and lives so that we can download pornography.
Pretty pathetic.
I like to look at and admire nude women. Guess I'm a pervert.
As for kiddie porn, market forces influence production. Therefore, those who purchase such materials are driving the industry and the abuse of children. Make your own conclusions.
While the Constitution does not explicitly protect pornography, neither does it empower Congress to control it. That leaves it for the States to decide.
And we have an inalienable right to view or read whatever we want without government interference.
