I know what they believe and I defend their right to believe it if they can do so without criminal activity.

QUESTION: Remedy, tell me how many religions in the world you do agree with?

ANSWER: You and I share the same basic religious beliefs, but the salvation we know is a free gift that we could take or leave. If it is not freely chosen it is meaningless. Christianity is perfectly compatable with religious freedom.

The concept of religious freedom does not allow us to pick and choose a persons beliefs no matter how crazy they seem to us.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…." I have yet to read where anyone is advocating Congress to legislate against ISLAM. Again, it's the ISLAMIC countries that play thought and religion police against Christians.

I have yet to read where anyone is advocating Congress to legislate against ISLAM. I've seen people come pretty close to that here on FR. That's why I started this conversation to begin with. I think we, Christians in particular, need to be careful to defend religious freedom for all. If we harm religious freedom even with good intentions, we will harm ourselves in the end.

Again, this is not a comment about Graham; it is a comment about some free republic threads I've been reading.
