  Truly a man of God.

  In reply to Midwest Blonde.

  Luckily, freedom from religion is implied in freedom of religion. In fact, it necessitates it. You are free to practice whatever religion you want in this country. By implication, you are free from every religion that you don’t believe in. You don’t have to follow the rules of any religion that you don’t want to. You don’t have to wear a headscarf. You don’t have to abide by the dietary restrictions of Judaism and Islam. In every sense, you are free from those religions. Because you are free from them, you can practice your religion in any way you’d like. In the same way, non-Christians are not subject to the religious rules of Christianity. They have the right to be free of your religion just as you have the right to be free from Islam.

  If only there were a place where Christians could practice their religion. You know, an easily-identifiable place of worship decorated with religious iconography where people of similar beliefs can go to share their faith. Sadly, no such place exists in Obama’s America.

• Are Stories of Historical Christian Martyrdom ‘Exaggerated, Invented and Forged’? Professor Outlines Myth Theory

  Before Rome adopted Christianity, early Christians really didn’t have a concrete doctrine. They didn’t know what to believe. Well, Rome told them. They manufactured Christian beliefs through a series of votes. They voted on the divinity of Jesus, and the nature of the Trinity. They edited out books of the Bible, God’s apparently perfect word, that didn’t mesh with the way they voted. And this is the religion you follow today. Your religion is a byproduct of ancient Roman bureaucracy. That’s the truth that many religious educators conveniently gloss over when you are a child, receiving your weekly dose of indoctrination.

  Of course, Christians who study early Christianity find a way to put the blinders on when they find out their religion is mired in inconsistency. It’s much easier than admitting your entire worldview is a lie and that your parents misused their authority and trust to lie to you. If Christians took even a fraction of skepticism and applied it to their religion as they do to every other one, there wouldn’t be any more Christians.

• ‘Hope Your Birthday Is a Blow Out!’: The Greeting Card That Has CAIR Enraged

  May 12, 2013 at 1:49pm

  Being offended is not an argument, or even a point worthy of consideration. Being offended is a temporary state of being. I’m offended that Muslims are offended. See how little that word actually means? Don’t like the card? Don’t buy it. The fact remains that Islamic terrorists, acting in the name of their Prophet and their religion, do use children as instruments of terror. They do use them as human shields in Palestine. How about you do something about that before you show your outrage over a birthday card.

• American Stabbed Outside U.S. Embassy in Cairo

  Can we stop supporting an ideology that is completely incompatible with our own? We will not placate them with money, weapons and rhetoric. They must think us to be bumbling stooges and we are if we don’t cut all aid immediately. They fought for freedom and what’s the very first thing they do with it? They establish theocratic rule. These people don’t want a system like ours and they won’t stop until Islam is the letter of the law.

• Did an Imam Really Use Arabic Prayer to Covertly Damn Fallen Seal Team 6 Members to Hell During Their Funeral?

  May 9, 2013 at 12:45pm

  I think religious people like this one are the most honest, however it comes off. This is what a true believer looks like, folks. The prayer is clearly in poor taste but you can’t blame a Muslim for merely reciting out loud what Muslims believe.

  Muslims have to believe that all non-Muslims are going to suffer eternal damnation for not being Muslim. Christians have to believe that all non-Christians are going to suffer eternal damnation simply for not being Christian. Fundamentally, this is what Abrahamic religions teach: believe and be eternally rewarded or don’t believe and be eternally punished. There’s really no way to sugarcoat that message and if you count yourself as a follower of one of the Abrahamic religions, you must believe it. It’s hypocritical to call this Muslim hateful if you believe the same thing happens to all non-Christians when they die.

• Grade School Graduation Canceled After Anonymous Complaint About Prayer — and Christian Parents Have a Backup Plan

  Christianity has enjoyed a lot of unconstitutional government preference that would never be given to any other religion. In order to secure religious freedom, our country must be committed to non-preference of any and all religions. Christianity is not exempt simply because it is a majority belief.

  I’m almost certain parents wouldn’t react well to a religion being promoted that was not their own. I know I would never go to an event that opens and closes with an Islamic prayer. It’s not my religion and I don’t want any part of it. I would think many other Americans feel the same way. It goes against our values to force religion onto the unwilling. I think it’s worth stating that the way Islam looks to non-Muslims is exactly how Christianity looks to non-Christians. Unwilling participation in prayer is immoral, regardless of denomination. I have no problem keeping it to myself as long as religious people are willing to do the same.

  Christians in this country have a problem to face. They have to ask themselves if they really believe in freedom of religion or just freedom for Christianity. If you are truly committed to religious freedom, you have to hold your religion to the same standards as all of the others. Government preference can’t be given to a religion just because you think it’s ok to let it slide.

• ‘Islamic Life Coach’ Warns Women If They ‘Talk Ceaselessly’ They Might Get Killed and It Will Be Their Fault

  “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”

  That line isn’t in the Quran, but it could be.

  “I want to make a woman feel liberated, regardless of her faith.”

  Nothing screams out liberation like a full head covering.
