Again, follow the thread bud. This is not just Islam doing this.

Who's the biggest opponent of gay marriage? Christians.
Who's the biggest opponent of abortion? Christians.
Who else has restricted prescriptions on the same moral grounds? Christians.
Who backs current obscenity laws the most? Christians.
Pushed for the War on Drugs? Christians.

You'll respond that it's all right, because they are the majority, failing to see that you push your beliefs upon every other group in the country. Sucks to have someone else do it, eh?

 

I'm Jewish "bud",i live in a Christian country so i follow Christian principle.

 

You live in a democratic country, where all men are created equal. This country was also founded by ancestors of people who fled to America to escape religious intolerance. This majority rule thing is no different from the justifications of slavery: people's individual rights aside, the people in power can make their beliefs and ideals a bit more valuable.

It's just asinine. You follow Christian principle since this is a Christian country? What happens when it isn't any longer? Then you'll know what being the subjugated minority is going to feel like. This is already being seen as Hispanics are becoming the majority ethnic group...hope you don't think Christianity as the main religion is absolutely due to stay that way.

You know what's the best part of being a libertarian? Even if I never win and have the country truly governed by individual freedoms, you and that kind of retarded thinking is eventually going to lose. The bottom line is the population and demographics of America have been changing since its inception, and whites in power, along with Christianity in power, is on the decline. I see America in the future going one of three ways:

1) It's going to wake up, realize that it can be truly free and respect individual freedoms, and finally accept the fact that being a nation legislated by Christian values is inherently subversive to democracy. You want to have your values, that's fine, but forcing them upon a populace that is supposedly free of religious intolerance (that means free to practice your religion, and free of intolerance from ANOTHER's religion) is paradoxical.

2) It's going to completely lock down its borders to any immigrants in an attempt to remain a homogeneous culture of Christians. This progression will further highlight that America is not a country of freedom, but a country of freedom to be Christian or freedom to be another religion forced to accept Christian values as law. I don't know what will result from that, but it certainly won't be what America was founded upon.

3) It's not going to promote individual freedoms, and will continue pushing Christian dogma upon non-Christians until another religion gains ground or at least competes in believers to Christianity in America. This is the worst possible situation: it's going to result in a lot of violence, and I wouldn't put it past other religions to try and punish Christians for pushing their beliefs down everyone else's throats for the past couple hundred years.


Religion and government do not mix. As soon as one gets an influence upon the other, tolerance and individual freedoms go down the toilet. We can look at history and learn to accept this, or we can continue to say that we are all created equal but Christians have slightly more say in supposedly secular law.

 

This was in the news a couple years ago in America. Religious (christian) pharmacists refusing to give birth control. It's BS.

No different than muslim cabbies refusing to take people with seeing eye dogs. It's absurd.

 

2) It's going to completely lock down its borders to any immigrants in an attempt to remain a homogeneous culture of Christians.

I don't know what will result from that, but it certainly won't be what America was founded upon.

I would love to see our borders locked down

 

Religion has not place at work if it interferes with the job at hand.

Do you think i could make concessions for a muslim or jew who won't touch pork at my pork factory?

 

He may not know what sharia law is. Reading his response, it's clear he doesn't.

Nice location field
