This came up in the “Hating America” thread and it’s worthy of its own thread. Can you explain to me how your particular faith has been attacked or your ability to worship as you please (as an individual, family, or collective) been compromised by secularism or government interference? If you feel the government is hostile towards religion, is all religion under assault or primarily Christianity? Personal anecdotes and experiences welcome. I’m asking because so far as I can see, there is currently nothing stopping me from converting to any faith, joining a religious community, or otherwise practicing a chosen spirituality provided I do not encroach on the rights of others.
I can’t guarantee you won’t get pushback from other members, but for myself I’m simply curious to hear your stories/opinions of how and where the religious are under attack in America.
Whats really stupid and boring is the entitlement attitude you guys have where you think that everyone should think and do as you believe. Further, you think you are so much smarter than others and you want to be able to dictate how people live.
Stupid and boring is really a great choice of words. They are my sentiments exactly.
A guy refusing to provide a cake is an example of “EQUAL RIGHTS”! The customer has the “Right” to take his business elsewhere. The seller has the “Right” to provide his service elsewhere. So they are both “Equal” They are not equal if the purchaser has “Rights” to demand service and the provider does not have any rights to decline them.
Still looking for specific examples of how anyone as an individual has been persecuted or come under attack by the government for their religious beliefs.
