Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol[W:649]

Re: Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol

He's not yet learned that he has to talk down to leftists..

Says someone who doesn't even know who is and isn't a leftist.

The First Amendment guarantees the right to NOT believe in God. It just does.

It also guarantees the free exercise of religion, and mentions nothing of public property.

You continue to have the right to not believe in God. Nobody cares what you believe or don't believe, providing you leave other people alone. Again, it's called "Tolerance". It's what makes societies work.

I'm not denying that.

It isn't worth it. There are a couple of people here who are so completely and utterly clueless and without the capacity for reason, it isn't worth even seeing what they have to say. Those who claim that everyone that disagrees with them is a liberal, or a neo-con, are top of the list.

This "free exercise of religion" applies to religions other than Christianity, does it not?

Not according to the Dominionists among us. They think Christianity is special. It is, but not in a good way.

I do believe in God. I tolerate those who do not.

I never said it didn't.

I don't tolerate idiots. You're a good guy and having your name dragged through the mud by one isn't OK.

Thanks but I don't mind. I find it funny. The more they talk, the more people see them for what they are.
 
Re: Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol

So then it applies to Satanists as well, correct?

Look, that's what caused the whole mess to begin with. Because they allowed Christians to do it, they had to open it up to other religions as well. The Satanists took them up on it.

Then tolerate those who want to put up displays celebrating their special time of the year. All religions seem to have them and there is no reason why we can't respect Hanukkah, Ramadan, Diwali, and so on. Why only harass Christians?

And the idiotic satanists suffered the consequences. Your point?

It's a euphemism for 'goofy'.

Ah. So words really don't mean anything to you. Good to know. You and Bill "depends on your definition of is" Clinton would get along well.

Here we go with the victim card. The thread is about the fact that a Christian decided it was alright to harass people who had different beliefs. Don't lose sight of the topic when you're engaging in your usual apologist nonsense, Grant.

I'll be curious to see if these Satanists show up at Ramadan.

I'm not harassing them. The Satanists get their time too.

When you were in school, was there that one kid who "ruined it for everybody?"

Looks like the closer the government is to the people, the less secular it becomes.

Greetings, Vesper. :2wave:

I'm so happy that you took the time to research this! :thumbs: I'll bet I was not the only one who did not know that every State Constitution makes reference to a Supreme being. How fitting for this time of year, and the holiday we just celebrated!

I'll be curious to see if these Satanists show up at Ramadan.

Now that hurt!

Actually I try to spare people's feelings by calling them 'leftist' rather than 'goofy'. It's good to be tolerant.

Would you be saying that if the Christian display "suffered the consequences?"

He's not conservative apparently. He's above being judged by his words. ;)

When is the Satanists time?
