I just think that ramping it up to an almost militaristic vitriol is radical. It follows the same logic that the islamic extremists are using to justify the slaughter of christians and infidels. It's dangerous.
I'm right there with you about using govt to enforce religious positions. But you have to understand that once the govt becomes the vehicle for subjective progressive solutions it can and will be used that way for each and every movement.
Religion in govt is no different to me than the temperance movement... or eugenics... or hearst outlawing hemp.
Once the door is opened... everyone will run through it.
Let's look at it a different way: religion, by its very nature, is evil. The idea that one person's imaginary friend is better somehow than someone elses', is a one way ticket to conflict.
Fuck all religion and those who insist that theirs' is the only right way. We'd all be better off if religion itself was outlawed!!
Ok... but I consider the leftist belief/faith that govt is the all powerful force in this country a religion in itself.
This country and our constitution were founded to protect and promote the individual as the power holder.
The intent was that an individual that caused no one harm was at liberty to exercise their freedom as they pleased.
Your religion is the antithesis of that principle... and certainly as evil as what you project upon christian americans.
consider whatever you like, but no one on the left would accept that government is religion. Not in any way shape or form. What you're considering is theocracy, not secularism.
Show me where I project evil upon christian Americans! I'd like to see all religion outlawed, that doesn't mean I'm for harming or incarcerating people who believe.
It appears I know exactly what I don't want -- religion -- being forced on me by anyone at any time. You on the other hand claim you don't believe in God, but are evidently willing to "go along" with whatever dogma of the moment appears popular.
It's the belief/faith in all powerful govt that I consider a religion. What you force on me... the individual... are a myriad of subjective social policies that I must partake in at the threat of penalty/incarceration. For instance the obamacaid mandate.
The only thing wrong with Obamacaid is there are privately owned insurance companies involved. Other than suck profits from policy holders and doctors, what else do they do? What we need, and will surely get to is Single Payer Healthcare. Why should good healthcare be extended only to the rich?
This has what to do with your obsession with people of faith? Why so much hate for someone who doesn't bother you?
But you see, people of faith DO bother me. Like all those good Christians pressing for laws to allow them to discriminate and oppress the LGBT community in the name of Jesus. Mississippi, N. Carolina ....
They proclaim faith in a religion that preaches tolerance and good will, right? Lying, sick, hateful Christian bastards. Fuck'em.
And what about those hateful, self-righteous Jesus-freak creeps who have enacted laws demanding women who have had abortions to identify themselves, so they can be publicly humiliated and ridiculed?
People who go out of their way to hate ... fundamentalist, self righteous, cruel and arrogant. Any chance I get to fuck over these evil folks, I take.
Just think of me as an avenging angel, Markle. LOL
