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.
I have not heard about this. I would have to see citations. I have only heard about Catholic hospitals being sued for refusing to perform abortions in their hospitals or hire Muslims to work in their churches.
I've left the High Episcopalian church because of the depravity coming from the top and filtering down to the bottom. I need a church that's willing to take a stand and not constantly brag about valiantly "holding the middle." I Think Christian churches need protection not attacks right about now. Attacks have been in vogue for quite some time, it's not funny any more, it's suppression, we'll do ok underground, but it's not fair, and it's not good for the country, so expect us to do what we can to fight it.
