I'm getting tired of being told I can't worship MY way. Last I checked Christians haven't been telling anybody they can't worship THEIR way. WE'VE been the only one's being suppressed, so you can shove off and go pray to whatever idol strikes your fancy.

Excuse me? I'm not telling you that you can't worship your way. As a matter of fact, everyone should worship in the way that they are most comfortable with, whether it be in a closet or outdoors or in a building. What I am saying is this, "do not force someone else to believe the way that you do".

There is a trend now for people to only hire persons who are "born again" Christians and they must participate in Prayer services in the workplace. That's discrimination when you won't hire a person because they don't believe the way that you do.

And as to my personal preferences, I was reared an Episcopalian - High Church. My Church is in crisis right now and I am being forced to deal with issues that I don't believe in. The Bible says one thing and the Church up North is doing something else.

Don't assume that I am a pagan because I am not a (southernism here) a Holy Roller. I respect your right to worship in the fashion that you are most comfortable with. I also respect others who might have different beliefs than mine.

Religious tolerance is one of the foundations this country was founded upon.
