I keep hearing people say that the U.S. protects freedom of religion and not freedom from religion. How is this possible? This is a self defeating concept. If people are not protected from religion, how would they be able to have their freedom of religion? If a religion is able to walk all over people because those people are not protected from religion, what is protecting their freedom of religion? I know I asked the same thing twice and I do personally hate repetitive argument tactics, but I feel this is a very important question.

These people that don’t want people protected from religion are happy because they think their religion is the one that is right. They don’t need protection from religion because it is their religion that is the one that others need protection from. I am talking about the U.S. and Christianity. The religion of the majority doesn’t need protection from itself, but they want to go a step farther and start pressing their religion into laws and onto everyone that believes differently.

Let me tell you (and go ahead and please research this), it was a hell of a lot different when the U.S. declared independence from England. They were not allowed to practice what ever religion they wanted because they didn’t have protection from religion. Yes, without protection from religion, unless you want to practice the major religion, you will not have the freedom of religion. Let’s say that we take away the protection from religion in the U.S., what flavour of Christianity should the state support? Southern Baptists? Catholic? Seventh Day Adventists? Born Again? Mormonism? Jehovah’s Witness? Well you better be ready to convert because if there is no freedom from religion, then one of these is going to be the one you will not be protected from.

Freedom from religion is not just about protecting the minorities rights, it’s about protecting everyone’s right to practice or not practice any religion or lack of. Because if you don’t protect the minority, then the majority calls the shots. This is one reason why the U.S. is a republic and not a democracy. Yes we have democratic elections, but we elect those people into a republic. The founding fathers could see, by the example of the Britain they freed themselves from, that a monarchy didn’t work anymore, they also could see that a democracy could not work. So they decided to create a completely new form of government, a democratic republic.

If you say that Muslims cannot go to a school and spread their word, then Christians also don’t get to go to school and spread their word. Because if you say that Muslims can’t spread their word in schools but Christians can, that is a law respecting a religion (read the first amendment). However, if you say that no religion can spread their word in schools, then that is a protection from religion that protects the peoples freedom of religion. In order to comply with the first amendment, you need to either spread the word of all religions or not allow any religion to spread their word.

Freedom from religion is the most important way to protect peoples freedom of religion. Also, remember any right you take away from someone else is also a right that you take away from yourself. In the U.S., everyone’s rights are affected by taking away rights. So quit being idiots and understand that in order to protect your freedom of religion, you need to provide protection from religion.

This will be a fairly short post though I feel it serves it’s purpose…

God, you know him he’s the guy in the sky to cares about billions of people’s prayers, sins, and services. If you pray to be better in school he hears your prayers right? wrong, the symptom you get after prayer sometimes can be good, and this placebo effect in leaving your problems to another person can actually be good for the outcome of things like school. but that’s not what this post is about.

If God was just and good, then the righteous would be getting some sort of special treatment, now i know that the scriptures say that everything that happens is for your own good but that’s an escape clause and here’s why: a just and good person does not treat good people who have done nothing wrong poorly, he would be extra kind and giving ask Job if that happened for him… thought not.

A just God would not punish the righteous for the sake of the wicked where is the justice in that? the most perfect person on the planet ever is supposed to have died for their sins? but only if you say you believe in him and call him your savior… and give to the donation plate that’s the really important part. Where is the goodness in punishing the good so that the evil will know that when they’re good they too will be punished? but after your dead and gone to where no one can take advantage of you anymore THAT’S when you’ll get your reward of course… I’ve got a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow I’ll sell you if you just one, believe in leprechauns and two, believe that your gold will actually be at the end of the rainbow and don’t believe those scientists and skeptics who tell you that the rainbow is really an optical illusion brought on by the prism effect of the liquid in the air and you can never ever reach the end or your reward, so thanks for the donation.

Stop calling atheists proud and that they think they’re their own God… they don’t they don’t have this sick center of the universe idea that a God would care about every time they picked their nose and lied about it you’re going to hell bugger picker liar! The humble ones are the ones who admit that there may be no ultimate plan for the universe, it may be just a big accident and our only purpose here is to continue the species.
