I have to say that in my neighborhood if I saw a person worshiping or sacraficing an animal for there practicing faith I would highly be offended and do whatever I took in a civilized manner to make them stop.

Why do people who want to practice there faith in our country that is not of the Judeo-Christian principles have
more of a right than we do?

If you go to an Islamic country as a woman you have to respect there custom and where a scarf over your face.

We deserve no respect in the good ol'USA?

"If you go to an Islamic country..."

Once again - we have religious freedom, they don't. It seems that you would prefer it if the USA took the same approach to being a Judeo-Christian nation that Iran takes to being an Islamic one.

Would you? Why? If they were on their own property and engaging in whatever passed for their form of worship, what business of yours would it be?

What, exactly would you object to? Worshipping an animal? Killing an animal? Do you eat meat?

I'll tell you something: If you did this on private property, you'd be trespassing and subject to arrest. People have the right to worship as they see fit, including the right to sacrifice animals, if that's their form of worship.

I think I'm done trying to have an actual dialogue with you because at this point you're just being goofy.

No, I don't want anyone sacrificing animals, but as for your questioning "their faith" in"our country", you are deluded.

There are plenty of U.S. born & raised, patriotic, hard working Americans who are neither Christian nor Jewish. I may not want my kids to get taught Buddhism or Shintoism or Native American Spirituality in their school, but I do recognize that, due to the Americans practicing them, those are all "American faiths".

And while I don't practice them, it does make me proud to be an American. Unlike Saudi Arabians or Pakistanis or people suffering in communist countries, Americans have the constitutional right to practice whatever peaceful religion they'd like.

God Bless them and God Bless America. And if you really want every American who isn't Judeo-Christian to get the heck out, then you and I have nothing more to discuss.
