It means if you truly support religious freedom, you will support this.

That graph tells about 1/1000th of the story, and you know that.

You disagree with the practices set forth in a religious text?

You do not think individuals should be allowed to practice freely the beliefs set forth in one of the world's largest religions?

Doesn't sound like you are for religious freedom at all, a homophobe, yes.

I am not a Muslim, but I believe a Christian should have the right to not sell a Muslim a goat to have sex with.

He can borrow yours.

It's completely inconsistent with his assertion that our economy is in "great decline", even if it doesn't tell the whole story.

So what you are saying is you falsely believe this country was founded as a christian nation and that Christianity is the only religion that matters there in and should be catered too by laws being passed to aid in your beliefs of discrimination.

All you need to see is our trade deficit and national debt to know our economy is in deep doo doo.

After deciphering your post...
No, I'm not saying that I falsely believe. I truthfully believe that this country WAS founded largely by Christians as a Christian nation, but not as a state sponsored religion. I never said that Christianity is the only religion that matters, but it is the one that matters the most to me.

I also never said that I believe in discrimination, but I don't believe that opting to not take part in/condone/contribute to something that is well known to be against your religious principles is discrimination. Especially when there are plenty of other places for the offended to get that same service. Simply put, as a musician, I will not play at a gay wedding. But I will be glad to recommend they call Joe Blow (no pun intended) down the road, he might be interested.

You are wrong.

All the references to God in in the government are largely from the McCarthyism using the fear of those godless commies to further their political agenda.

Of course this was after the fear of those freed blacks to further their agenda.

Of course this was after the fear of the savage red man was used to further their agenda.

But, you are probably one of the many who are ignorant to the "under God" being a fairly new addition to the pledge of allegiance and think it should stay because "its always been there".

You probably get upset when the satanists put up their religious object next to the ten commandments on public lands.

You can't see that your entire anger and agenda is driven by fear instilled by those who have perfected this art over thousands and thousands of years through organized religions...

I think that bakers and photographers should be allowed to opt out of serving homosexuals on religious grounds when they also stop serving wealthy people, obese people, money lenders, non-first weddings, etc etc. Oh, they also shouldn't be conducting business on Sunday. Once they do all that and show that they treat all of their religion's "sins" equally should they be allowed to do it...otherwise they are by definition discriminating.

Also, any business which discriminates against homosexuals should be willing to publically open up their entire operation to public scrutiny, you know that judge not lest you be judged thing...

You might be surprised to know that I'm not really in favor of posting the 10 commandments anywhere in a government building/office or 'public' land (which is not really owned by the 'public').
It is awfully close to appearing that the government is establishing religion.

As far as being established as a 'Christian' nation, I suppose the pilgrims were Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist or Jewish that fled England/Holland for freedom OF religion (not FROM religion)? The GOVERNMENT was not set up to establish an official religion, that's one of the things they were escaping, but the PEOPLE were largely Christian.
