religion
Mike asked:


The US Constitution’s first ammendment is freedom of religion and speech. That mean’s one religion should not be forced on the masses.

Interesting that churches are preaching political matters in sermons to have their views forced on the masses. Also interesting that the only words allowed from the audience in these churches are “Amen,” “Hallelujah,” and “That’s Right Brother.” Does this sound like freedom of religion and speech?

These religiously brainwashed people refuse to even be curious about adopting 143 million orphaned children who want to be valued as much as white newborns are valued.

    Last time I checked people weren’t forced to go to church.

    I feel everyone should be allowed to worship (or not) as they choose. Of course we all have our own views and we are allowed to voice them

    Amen!

    In our country, presumably, no one can force someone to worship one way or another. However, many Christian denominations proseletyze. They do think everyone should worship as they do. I’ve never been proseletyzed by a Muslim…

    Edit: Ha ha, four thumbs down? Obviously none of you have ever had a proseletyzing Jehovah’s witness come to your door, or fought off those guys with the little New Testaments standing on the street corner. Hey, sorry, I’m Christian, but I don’t proseletyze, and I can’t stand people who do.

    The Constitution states we have “freedom of religion” NOT “freedom from religion”. If you are hearing political rhetoric in place of the gospel, you are free to attend another church,coven, or what ever.

    Its really sad that you have no idea what you are talking about. The First Amendment states that the government shall not espouse any kind of religion. Nobody is forcing people into these churches and the ministers there can preach on whatever they want. There is nothing in the First Amendment that stipulates that a pastor cannot preach about political matters. There are more Christian adoption agencies than there are secular ones, your argument has no basis in fact.

    I haven’t see any American Muslims who want to force their religion on orhhers. In fact, the only religious group in the US tha twishes to do that are the faux Christians on the far right–the so-called “fundamentalists” (which, by the way, they are not). And you ae correct–this group is violatingthe rules that require chruches to refrain from acting as political bodies. Its long past time the IRS started enforcing the rules.

    YOu are also right about the adoption thing–the religious right is racist. Simple as that.

    I was raised a Lutheran, then married a Catholic. We raised the children in the Catholic faith, but they attended public schools (where no religion was taught).

    It was our choice to take the children to church, and to religious instruction classes…no one is forced to do that.

    It is my choice to attend church now…no one forces me to go.

    There is clearly freedom of religion in the US, or everyone would be worshiping (or not worshiping) in the same manner.

    What I am against is the fact that it’s becoming politically incorrect to wish another human being a Merry Christmas!!!!

    Christ told christians, even before they were called that, To let your light so shine before men, that they approah you and ask the reason for your faith” or something like that.
    Being pushy is a turnoff…..and to be fair….conversion at the point of the sword (a favrite Moslem tacktic from ages gone by) is not sincere!
    You figure it out.

    It is freedom of religion, however, you have to take responsibility for your choices. There are radical religious leaders in all the world religions and some are very charismatic. So use your common sense and reject those who preach hate and prejudice against anyone for any reason.
    Also, Amen, Hallelujah and Thats Right Brother by and in itself isn’t a problem. Its what you may be agreeing to thats the problem. So beware and take care.

    No religion should be forced on the masses is correct. But I don’t think the ones that are at these services were forced to attend. And as long as you don’t yell fire in a crowded theater or something similar… last I checked someone preaching has the right to preach anything they want. So yes absolutley it is freedom of religion and freedom of speech. You don’t have to agree or listen that is your right. But you don’t have the right to try and stop it nor does the government just because you and they don’t agree with them.

    All religions want to force themselves on an unsuspecting public. This has been the case throughout the centuries from the Crusades to the Inquisition to the Puritannical government of Oliver Cromwell.

    Politics and religion went hand in hand in early Europe, but fortunately we’ve managed to get that out of our system many centuries ago. The US is a much younger country and is still going through that situation despite the claim of seperation of church and state. It may take a little longer for that to become strictly true.
