What Hodar is proposing is that if I share my faith with the public then I am more to be feared than the terrorists.

Really? I said that? I said "Those who would espouse their religion, faith or superstitions upon the public..." If you are going to attack and belittle me, have the courtesy to accurately quote me.

For example, there are religous groups in the southern US who feel that drinking is wrong, therefore YOU can't buy beer at the store, to drink at home. Pornography is wrong, therefore YOU can't have the option of watching or reading Playboy. The general rule is that I am too stupid to know how to live, but they are so self-righeous in their beliefs, that they will force me to live by their beliefs; whether I like it or not. Does this sound familiar?

Who says you can't? God gave us our "free will" to do what we want. He also says there's consequences to the choices we make. Does somebody have a gun to your head telling you you can't do these things? I think not.
