I picked ‘this thing’ up from the years 1986 to 1994, which i heard at every service, even midweek, while attending Smithtown Gospel Tabernacle, in Smithtown, Long Island, NY. I, then, heard it from a small nondenominational church, in Portland, Oregon, from 1994 to 2000, when I left Portland. So this is no small thing I heard, in a backwater of America.

So just was it that your heard that was different from the restoration message i described? Despite numerous responses to you, you have yet to make it clear what you are referring to as using ‘freedom of religion’ to trample the 1stA rights of another citizen. Just how is this being done and what are you proposing as the ideal?

‘My heard’? (Scratches head ...)
Oh, how i heard! Oh, well, quite easy!
All that you prposed doing, as it stands in America today, would be reviving the infamous puritanical ‘blue lawsx, that existed in the 1950’s, as I remember them. Now, I admit, I would not sneeze at anti-Communist laws, also from the ‘50’s, however, I do not wish to see America become Alabama, the home of the anti-dildo sale state. Nor would I care to see any anti-witchcraft law, since the religion of Wicca has been part of a military chaplains’ manual since 1976, and is legally recognized by the V.A. since 2007. (Did you know the 1st witch was hung on this continent just 27 years after the Mayflower dropped anchor?)

I hope that you ‘heard’ this plain enough, for I refuse to spend another of my fleeting life’s time on you.
Goodbye.
