LOL, what did he say so well... other then the obvious, that there isn't a fundementalist christian running things right now. There are examples all over the U.S where fundementalist religious groups/persons have been voted into some sort of offical capacity and procede to force biblical christian doctrine into policy making.

OK, enough about you, let's get back on track.
Seriously bud, of all the people to come on her criticizing others for having a "know-it-all" attitude, being condescending or acting like others are less intelligent than them, it shouldn't be you.
Please provide these examples. Here in the P&R forum we try to back up generalized statements with some fact. I am unaware of anyone in the country forcing religion down anyone else's throat. In fact, last time I looked around, we have had true freedom of religion for a good while now. Please provide some supporting documentation concerning Christians forcing others to be Christians.

1. I did not say anyone was forced to be christian, but good job of trying to extrapolate that from that I said, then frame it out of context.
All you need to do is look at the new Anti-abortion laws in KY, it's christian fundementalim gone over the edge.
2. Trying to teach creationism in Science class rather then in theology or social studies

If we truley had religious freedom then why are most right leaning people making a bunch of noise about the preisdent being a muslim? Let's assume for the sake of argument that he is. He has a legal right to do so per the first amendment. So what is the problem and why do you want to take away his first amendment right from him? They talk about wanting a smaller gov't with less interference but then they want to take away one of the core freedoms that this country was founded on. The devil does indeed speak with a split tounge.Drug and smoke free trading.

Nobody forced him to throw away his Muslim beliefs, did they? Then it seems to me that we all have religious freedom.
The right to bear arms; people make a ton of noise about that, but we can still have them, can't we?Andrew Bailey Supercollector: 233/263 not including 1/1's (88.6%); 265/466 cards including 1/1's(56.9%)

No one forced him to throw anything away but if we had true religious freedom his religious preference would be a non factor.

When I think of religious freedom, I think of "being able to worship what I choose and when I want to". Isn't that was Obama is able to do?
There is ALWAYS going to be someone or some people who are against something. But does that really mean we don't have freedom to do it?

Yes he technically has the freedom of religion but if he came out and said that he is a muslim that would be political suicide for him. That would be just like him comming out and saying that he is gay. My point is yes the law may say freedom of religion but there are a certian fringe group of people that want to restrict if not take away that right all together.

You aren't describing anything about religious freedom. Just like he is allowed to practice anything he wants I have the right to disagree with him. Ifi want to vote him out because he is a Muslim I can. I can also vote him out because he has dogs, has a red coffee cup, or thinks its Washington instead of warshington. It has nothing to do with religious freedom. That would Bethesda govt shutting down a mosque for practicing Islam which to my knowledge doesn't happen that often

Yes you as a citizen do have to right to vote for anyone for any reason even though it may not be the best reason it is still your reason. However some politicans such as Herman Cain and Michelle Bachman would like to restrict the rights of US citizens because they do not practice the religion of the majority and that is totally unamerican and goes against what this country was estabished upon.
