Your silly attempt to dazzle with big words aside, the rest of your post doesn't even address my point. The initial statement Our Congress is strictly and explicitly probitied by our Constitution from passing any laws prohibiting the free excercise of one's religion is what I was referring to...whether you feel that our laws are explicitly written to address Judeo-Christian religions is only your opinion. If we only go by the above statement, no laws could be passed if one person says, "Hey, that law inhibits the free exercise of my religion."

It has been a little long since you posted to me, but I want to say I did indeed address your point. I didn't try to "dazzle with big words". The words I used seemed particularly relevant.

You made the point that no rights are absolute--"Fire in the theater, etc." But you are wrong. Free speech is absolute. Yelling fire is not free speech.

The "establishment clause" is also absolute. Congress shall make no law to establish religion; nor shall it prevent the free exercise thereof.

Your theory or hypothesis that anyone of any religion could prevent a law by saying "it is against my religion" is sophistry-a convoluted, roundabout way of making a point for your theory that if evidence of one religion is found in the public domain, one must make way for any trumped up religion;therefore, all must be banned. This is the planned and knowing falsehood of the ACLU, athiests, etc.

People seem to have forgotten that our founding documents were written by men who both believed in and acknowledged
God (Even Franklin and Jefferson, the two possible Deists)acknowledged a Creator. God and the 10 Commandments
underlie English law and our law is based on English comman law and God's law as found in the Bible. Any other religion doesn't count historically or constitutionally, but that still does not keep Zen Buddhists from practicing their religion or Muslims or any other. It simply makes a statement about HOW our laws came into being.If this nation ever becomes a Muslim Theocracy, I guess you would see the Koran; if it becomes China West, you may see and hear the Cummunist Manifesto. For now, we are still nominally a Christian nation, as set forth by the Founding Fathers and upheld for a couple of hundred years by the courts.
