it's not because you follow law you can't free think,it is because you disagree with it but you do nothing about it.


Then you are not talking about "free thinking" - you are talking about action. That's a whole different ballgame. Even people who don't think for themselves will 'do something about' things they don't like.

Socialists call it 'herding cattle' - using the right slogans and programming techniques to turn the masses into an unthinking, hate-filled mob that will attack selected targets.

Action and thought are not necessarily connected.

quote:
then tell me were does it say in the constitution that the christian god is the only one,since those are the first four commandments,you'de think we would make laws out of them if your theory is true.


A ridiculous assertion! Why would we make such laws? Provide a rational basis for that, please.

RELIGIOUS FREE SPEECH is protected by the Constitution. That does NOT require that we make laws out of whatever religious speech is presented!

The Ten Commandments are on the Supreme Court building. That does NOT require that we make laws out of each of them! But they are the basis for our concept of justice.

Our Rights come from God, as clearly stated in the Declaration of Independence.

Thou Shalt Not Murder leads to the key duty of our public servants - to defend the Right to Life of innocent.

Thou Shalt Not Steal - our laws build upon that notion, something that does not exist in Socialist doctrine.

But the Ten Commandments are only a foundation for our legal principles - they are not civilly enforceable laws unto themselves.

quote:
i know how dare they fight for equallity like African Americans did.


HAHAHHAAHAHAAaaaa!!! Oh, that's funny!

Our system of justice prevents judging a person by the color of their skin (which is why Republicans fight against "racial quotas" and so on). We are supposed to be a color-blind society.

But ACTIONS are subject to judgment! It is normal for any society to determine what actions are acceptable or not.

California decided through the lawful process. Get over it.

quote:
do you think the right wing christians would have handled it better if they lost?


Do we see them storming around, smashing things and attacking people in the States where Gay Marriage has been approved?

quote:
Me: The Christian principles at the core of our national ideology are a whole LOT better than Socialist principles. That's why folks living under Socialist regimes over the past century braved Iron Curtains, Concrete walls, land mines and sharks to escape to the US.

You: see you just admited you believe that if you are not a christian than you're a soacilist.


You must have failed logic class.

But I will stand by the assertion that Socialists do wipe Christianity out of a society, since they are opposing belief systems.

Christians teach, "Thou shalt not envy"
Socialists teach, "If someone has more than you, there is injustice because you deserve to have as much as they do."

Christians teach, "Thou shalt not steal"
Socialists teach, "If someone has more than you, form a mob and seize it"

Christians teach, "Love thy neighbor as thyself"
Socialists teach, "Down with love of our neighbor! What we want is hate!" - Anatole Lunarcharsky, former Commissar of Education, USSR

Christians teach, "Give of thyself to those less fortunate"
Socialists teach, "Seize wealth from others at gunpoint to give to whomever you feel should have it, like the crooked CEOs of AIG and Fannie Mae..."

how come buddhists can't express their beliefs by posting the fundamentals of buddhism on government buildings

so why do we have all ten commandments on a court wall when we americans don't beleive in all ten commandments,and the constitution doesn't just say" express only christianity in speech"but it does say " you have the right to express your religion " and since the courts belong to the PEOPLE not just christians,people have the right to then post buddhist, jewish,muslim,saitinism,and hindu beliefs if christians have that right then all faiths within the U.S.A have that right.

in a wyoming university a gay man was brutally attacked by a christian man and died later on life support.

I see... and that personal attack by one person against another was in some way a mob attack designed to bully a society into changing its ways? Irrelevant. Really.

If the Christians were doing what the Leftists/Gays are doing, storming around in huge mobs, firing people for supporting Prop 8, smashing things, creating a huge wave of violent hate... well, I think we'd see it in the news by now.

As for your question about putting Buddhist principles in a courthouse - it's a good one. It is likely the Left will use it to push Islamic principles in the public buildings as they have in schools - while systematically attacking any display of Christian principles.

Look who's teaching Johnny about Islam - Saudi-funded Islamic activists have
final say in shaping public-school lessons on religions

hate to break it to you, but in my Nephews History class they learn about the teachings of christianity along with Buddhism,and Islam,a christian club is offered also,but no Islam,and buddhist club.

just because it happens in 4 schools doesn't mean every school children is being brainwashed to islam.

Were NAZIs killing Jews at Hitler's inaugural speech? Seriously, the question is lame. It's the bullying and aggression that DOES occur that is the problem.

Speak2Truth i have some questions i need you to answer

if a christian man kills an abortion doctor,would you blame the whole christian church?


if 100 canadians riot in Sanfrancisco,would you blame all canadians?


if a right wing person shoots up a holocaust museum,would you blame the right?

if a leftist athiest strangles a priest,would you blame leftists?



pleas answer with a simple yes or no for every question.

I'm not gay, therefore I could care less if other people are gay because it does not affect me at all.

I can't help but think people who care about it so much, like Speak2Truth, are really gay themselves.

If you were truly secure about your sexuality and your marriage you would not be threatened by someone else's sexuality.
