An Atheist in an ocean of Theists

Breakdown,

That's what happens when you oppress,  discriminate, deny civil liberties, due process and human rights from a  group of people.  The LDS Church among many other zealot idiots need to keep their noses out of other peoples lives.  The church has a responsibility to respect the secularity of our government for this very reason.

If I were a devout muslim, living in this country and my fellow muslims were suddenly cast into the role of the voting majority and we  passed legislation requiring a woman to wear a burka, because, to us, it was considered indecent for a woman to show her face in public,  would you protest?  Would you have say it was wrong for me to force the tenets of my faith on you????  YES YOU WOULD!

I don't care what anyone wants for themselves, spiritually.  When they try to force me to adhere to their dogma, through unconstitutional legislation.  I HAVE AN ISSUE!  That is oppression at it's very worst and it's the very reason the pilgrims came to America.

Since you are too close-minded to allow my posts, I will post it here.....

NO THANKS!!!!!

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008!

I love how the man being interviewed from The Southerland Group today was never stating his opinion as to why the definition of marriage should remain that which it currently is, that of course being only between a man and woman.    They can't do it without bringing the word god or sanctity into it.  The truth is there is no valid argument against it.  This is just more 1st Amendment raping garbage from the Paleocons.

The sancitity of marriage has no bearing in the law.  Everyone's interpretation of 'sanctity' differs.  So I think they should actually do away with the term 'marriage' with respect to the state and laws.  EVERYONE  wanting the benefits of what is currently given in marriage, should enter into a civil union in the eyes of the law.  The law should only recognize these unions.   Marriage should be left to the individuals church descretion as far as it's validity.  That way everyone is happy. 

I also agree that no church should have to recognize gay marriage.  However, I don't think it's a church these people are trying to please.  I know I could care less about what any church thinks of my marriage.  So, if we invoke civil unions, they should apply to everyone and marriage should be a term for the individual's faith or lack thereof

They need to legalize it.  When are we gonna quit fighting that losing nonsensical battle?

This is what happens when you allow religion to influence the government.  We should not have to endure this unconstitutional B.S.
