The only thing you got right there was:
“Our rights are not doled out by a benevolent government as rewards of fidelity and compliance.”
To bad though it had nothing to do with what was said. If you want to start another topic please do so under another topic.
And please, quit torturing history with your distorted views and representing [bad] opinion for fact.
Show where anything I wrote was not based in fact. This is about the free exercise of religion, so the First Amendment has bearing on this matter.
You are the one who shows a serious want on the subject of history.
You also are the one who asserts that the right of the Church to practice Her religion is dependent on whether she accepts any government funding. That is a false assertion and a practice which would be a threat to liberty.
