No nation is bound to tolerate any religion which teaches doctrines subversive of the civil government of that nation.

To suggest that such religious doctrines are protected by the Second Amendment is as absurd as suggesting that incitement to riot is protected under the First.

dammit, I didn’t mean “Second Amendment” vs. 1st. I obviously meant Freedom of Religion vs. Freedom of Speech. Both in the First. Need more coffee. Stupid DST.

Second Amendment? You mean the First?

“No nation is bound to tolerate any religion which teaches doctrines subversive of the civil government of that nation.

To suggest that such religious doctrines are protected by the (First) Amendment is as absurd as suggesting that incitement to riot is protected under the First.”

Well, even on this site, there are people (probably well-intentioned) saying that pre-emptive outlawing of Sharia at the state level (such as OK and TN), somehow violates the First Amendment. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how the First Amendment protects what is a parallel legal system to the one established by the Constitution...but others somehow do??
