For the record, this post is being posted in News/Activism by the express permission of Jim Robinson, founder and owner of Free Republic:
“Debate on church doctrine and or threads on specific religious matters may be best posted in the religion forum, but the defense of religious freedom, especially against those who wish to deprive us of same belongs front and center on FR....They banned God and prayer and creationism from public schools and public places, but I’ll be damned if they’re gonna ban Him or it from FR!”
—Jim Robinson
For the record I am not religious at all but I strongly consider myself a conservative.
I applaud anyone who stands up for religious freedom becuase in essence they are standing up for freedom itself.
There is no reason why a person should not be able to express their views in public simply beacuse they are based upon their religious belief. I call for EVERYONE regardless of how they base their beliefs to be able to have EQUAL representation under the law. MAJORITY RULES!
The left-wing constantly tries to claim that the science is settled from issues on when Life begins, to how mankind effects the weather, to whether or not homosexuality is a corruption or not. The left-wing does not want the People to have any right to representation on any of these issues. The science is settled they claim.
The left-wing wants to ban religion because they think that they can then force others to march lockstep with them.
I applaud Free Republic for opposing such an agenda and for standing up for liberty.
Amen to that!
