My statement applied to reasoning, mature, open minded individuals - you are, of course, free to demonstrate whether or not you are in that group.

Your statement was a blanket statement, and demonstrably incorrect.

And your opinion of what is "open minded", things like abortion and anti-christianity, is irrelevant to my rights. And of course, is itself, incorrect. You fall into a group as well, a liberal group.

I ridicule that group. Which of course is, reasonable, mature and open minded.

Your interpretation of my statement is incorrect - I was not precise enough. It was a relative statement not an absolute statement. Compared to virtually all other nations, the U.S. is far more tolerant of differing religious thought.

And your opinion of what is "open minded", things like abortion and anti-christianity ...

Where did I mention abortion or anti-Christianity? I am as far from anti-Christianity as anyone. I believe in Jesus Christ with all my mind and soul. I just resist anyone ASSuming that their understanding of Jesus Christ is superior to mine. No one in this current human condition can know for sure the whole truth about spiritual matters.

You fall into a group as well, a liberal group.

You think I am a liberal? Do liberals guide their lives above all else by their faith in God? No, but I do. Do liberals believe that both parties have contributed to an overspending, over-regulating, intrusive and inefficient government? No, but I do. Do liberals believe that they have a superior understanding of good and evil and therefore they should control the lives of others? Yes, but I do not. I'm not sure about your understanding of today's liberalism but you might want to reexamine it.
