You obviously do not consider your own chosen religion a cult or sect, but that is exactly what it is, and who you are. The question becomes, can you peacefully co-exist in a free nation, with people who are not required by society to hold the same religious beliefs as yourself.

The freedom with which you label us "cultists" puts you squarely in the company of Janet Reno and other enemies of religious and personal liberty. In fact your post reads like an outtake from the Jane Reno playbook.

The real question is that now that you have revealed yourself to be the enemy of every Catholic can we as citizens regard you as anything but an enemy of the Bill of Rights and a sleeper cell of that most perfidious enemy who would deny the public square to people of religious faith?

Whoa! That's a hard-hitting comment, but appropriate to the one that provoked it. When attempting to hold a self-proclaimed Catholic to the standards of Catholicism is considered a threat to "peaceful coexistence," then we have a problem.

Not a germane observation in this case, because Sean Hannity is required to hold the same religious beliefs as Catholics, because he is one ... or claims to be.

In any case, we are required by our faith to obey the law except where it requires us to sin.

But I'm intrigued ... if you conclude that we "cultists" cannot "peacefully co-exist" with others, what do you suggest as a remedy? Prison? "Re-education" camps? Execution?

All in the name of "freedom of religion," no doubt.
