Don’t we already have threads on FR for discussing religion?
~~
We, the General Assembly of Virginia do enact that no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested or burthened in his body or his goods, nor shall otherwise suffer, on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.
~~Thomas Jefferson~~
By all means, if this is the supposed "end-all" quote, where have you been hiding this quote then everytime a FReeper has called Huckabee a "Christian socialist" (hundreds of times) or that he is "using his faith" etc etc.?
no man...enforced, restrained, molested or burthened in his body or his goods, nor shall otherwise suffer, on account of his religious opinions or belief
If you take this to me that no man shall be opposed or verbally contested or argued against, then what cave do you live in? In fact, Jefferson goes on to clarify that all men shall be free to profess, and by ARGUMENT to maintain... [Or are you claiming that arguments are only allowed down your one-way streets?]
hallelejah and amen to that.
