Freedom OF Religion in America?

Name: Anonymous 2007-07-12 17:49 ID:FlY7l6KA

Freedom FROM Religion? No to both of those, and for clear reasons.

It's sick you know that? It's sick that the founders of my country, The United States, explicitly stated in the First Amendment that the freedom to choose your own religion would be respected, as the separation of religion and Government and what became of it is a Jewish and Christian fuckfest and the Government giving tacit support of religious organizations.

Then I come across this video. It's a video of the first Hindu prayer ever offered in The United States senate and the Christian faggots start jeering the man and shouting at him. How is their faith and belief any more valid than the belief of Shiva/Vishnu/Brahma and whatever sub-deities are followed in India?

How the fuck does this reflect on The Bill of Rights?

Tell me, are you part of a big trolling group or do you have just way to much time?

So the Senate is full of ignorant Christian fucktards who do not understand Hinduism.

What does that have to do with The Bill of Rights?

The First Amendment?

The Christian protesters got to exercise their right to be dickheads, the Senate got to exercise their right to keep order in the Senate.   No state religion is established by having a prayer before opening the Senate, although it is a waste of taxpayer time and money.

You seem to forget that the majority will always support their views and infringe the rights of minorities.

And this is what we call democracy - rule of the majority.
The idea behind it is to ensure that at least half of the people are happy.
It was never promised that the majority of people won't be assholes.

Thats a fucking misconception of democracy. Real democracy must ensure the happiness of as many as possible, else it is just another form of oligarchical dictatorship. Even if most germans where made happy when jews went up the chimneys was this not an example of democracy in action, and if you think it was then your definition of democracy is so alien from the common perception and it also makes the term meaningless.

It's real democracy because this is how it is and was practiced all the fucking time.
And don't come with "YOUR definiton" and "common perception" as this is how it's defined by a number of dictionaries.
"ensure the happiness of as many as possible'" - You're seeking for a new kind of order because that is NOT democracy.

Btw I lol'd at the nazi reference. I wonder for how long Godwin's Law will stay valid. They sure won't be talking about Nazis in 3000 AD.

Regardless of what he said, you're not considering why there is Federalism and that's to separate powers, decentralize and centralize authority. Of course you think democracy is mob rule because it can be and is often taught as mob rule 51% bullshit. This was never the case with The United States, the rule of law is above whatever you think democracy should be or is defined as and in accordance with law, the First Amendment is very clear on the type of shit that's going on in the OP.

The Founders knew this with the Protestant/Catholic rivalry in England and even thinking about the OP video without that history is really shameful.

I called you a troll before and now I'm even more convinced that you're trolling.
Come back when some Christians are whining and the Hindu gets booted.

Don't change these.
