To: Always Right
Sure I am against the use of government force to impose religion, but government, with the blessing of Libertarians, use the government to surpress individual religious views.

I disagree with this comment, quite strongly. First you state that you are against the use of government force to impose religion, to which all Libertarians both religious and non-religious agree. Then you make the totally false claim Libertarians would use government to suppress individual religious views!! Pure ignorance! I guess you are not always right.

The right to express ones religion is just like any other property they may have, as long as the rights of others are not impinged, in Libertarian government you are free to worship, who, how, or what you may. If your religion is honorable and just, the Libertarian Government is you best defender and protector, being absent of both coersion and suppression.

Thought question for the day: if the United States truly afforded a libertarian environment for all, wouldn't we LDS currently be living in Independence, Missouri, and still openly practicing celestial marriage (as defined in section 132 of the D&C, meaning polygamy)? Would this not have been the desired result? If so, shouldn't more latter-day saints be willing to examine the libertarian polital viewpoint more seriously?
