This is as bad as the muslims, convert the infidels, why can't everyone just leave everyone else alone and agree to let them believe what they want, this is what this country was based on.

You believe in the constitution foremost, and when you do, then what does it matter if you are a christian, a muslim, a buddhist, a hindu, a Wiccan, or whatever?

This country is based on freedom, first and foremost. If you do not believe in that freedom, AKA: convert the infidels, be you Muslim Christian or Et al, then you ought to get the heck out of here, because you obviously do not believe in the constitution. You can prostletize, don't get me wrong, but to say that you HAVE to be this, or HAVE to be that, well sorry, it's unamerican!!!

Eric you fail to grasp the essentials of this problem. Where does freedom come from? Why is it right and proper that man be free? Because a bunch of landed slave owning white guys got together in the latter seventeen hundreds and SAID so?

This idea that man has a RIGHT to freedom is a very new idea on this planet. It needs a solid base to hold it up. That base is the base described in the Declaration of Independance. Freedom is a DEVINE right. Remove this base and freedom becomes something granted by government as the EU maintains.

But then one must ask ... WHAT devinity grants this right? If you pretend .... as you do .... that this is an irrelevant arguement then you leave yourself wide open to having the base 'switched out' on you while your not paying attention. The God we believe gave us unallienable rights is the God of the Bible. You can bitch all you want about this and you can pretend it is not true like the Libertarians wish to do .... but it is the truth and you cannot change it.
