Fundies Make Me Sick
Freedom of Religion means of ALL religions, not just the ones you like, dumbfuck.

Why is it that I know more about the Treaty of Tripoli when these fuckwits who actually live in the country don't know about it?

@Osiris: I know what fundie Muslims have done in countries they're already in charge of, and yet I, like Doubting Thomas, am still more worried about fundie Christians gaining more control over the U.S.
Not because I think Christians are worse, but because I think it's more plausible. Muslims, fundie or otherwise, can't build a community center without getting teabagged; they're not going to be able to take us over. Fundie Christians on the other hand...well, there have been times they've gotten close.
I prefer to worry about the more plausible thing; if I go hiking in the woods in New England, I'll worry about a timber rattlesnake biting me, not a king cobra.

Our government has no obligation to allow a treasonous ideology to receive special protections in America, but this is exactly what the Republics are trying to do right now with teabaggery.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Read that several times and tell me what seems vague about that.

Nazani14: I think the problem here is that many people manage to regard philosophy and religion as just alternate names for ideology--they think that just by being human, one is incapable of NOT being an ideologue. That may help explain why Gonzo67 thinks "Muslim" auto-translates to "malicious berserker". I would not doubt that they think ALL fellow RTCs think in almost precisely the same way they do, because nothing ought to be outside the domain of ideology. Therefore, everything gets judged in the same way the ideologist does.

Actually the scary thing is he's a Stanford grad.

But... I thought True Chrisitanity™ wasn't a religion but a personal relationship with Jesus... does that mean True Christians™ aren't covered by the First Amendment, either ?

It doesn't matter what your interpretation is of what your constitution's writers may have intended. All that matters is what they actually wrote. And what they actually wrote prohibits any restriction on the free exercise of religion. There's nothing at all to say that this principle applies only to Christianity. If it isn't there in black and white, it isn't part of the amendment, no matter how much you want it to be.

never mind that Islam was a religion founded thousands of years before the US even came about. asshat.

Islam has been around longer than the USA, so how could it be dedicated to the destruction of such?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, except for Islam because towelheads are icky.

Wrong, from the first sentence. Affording the same rights to other religions as to yours is not a special protection or a "privilege" that can be revoked. It is precisely what "Freedom of Religion" means, you dolt.

If Muslims don't have First Amendment rights to follow their religion or build their centers of worship, neither do Christians. Unless you have some insane logic to justify why one group you don't like doesn't have the same protections you enjoy

Freedom of religion.
If Muslims can be prevented from building mosques, Christians can be prevented from building churches.
Thank you, no.

Why am I not surprised? You have to "interpret" your holy book so it's no wonder you have to "interpret" the constitution.

The first ammendment is explicit and NEVER mentions exceptions. Treat of Tripoli?, now you know where it is.
