    Religious freedom

    Do you believe that your Neighbors religious freedom is more important than your right to privacy?

    Is someones religious freedom absoute?

    If someone claims your non-violent behavior violates their religious freedom does their religious freedom take precident over your freedom to proform the behavior?

    Religious freedom

    Still, a little loaded.

    Non-violent behavior? How could that violate any religion?

    Maybe an explanation is in order?

    Religious freedom

    Imposing the rules of your faith on others is not religious freedom - it is tyranny. They can choose to not use these things, they can not and should not be able to demand it of others.

    Religious freedom

    What would be the solution, then? Kill your neighbor?

    I want to live on my own land, that I've bought and paid for, live in my house that I built myself, but the law says I have to pay them to live there. ("Them" being the "county".) What do I do, shoot the whole appraisal district community?

    We need to step back and look at the whole picture instead of standing in one place with tunnel vision. I don't like some of the laws, but I don't break them because of it. I get with whomever is in charge and begin negotiating. No, it's not always in my favor, but I don't give up.

    If you give up you never really wanted change in the first place.

    Will SCOTUS throw out legislation? Maybe. But, they can't throw it out forever. You can't blame one group of people (religious or not) for not seeing things the way you do. That's childish. Start at the beginning and work your way along until you've exhausted all avenues...then start a revolution.

    Religious freedom

    (disclaimer: I am using the following as an example)

    The Amish believe that using electricity is a sin. Say you were 1 of 1000 non Amish people living in a Amish community of 50,000. The Amish control all the local government agencies and wright all the local ordinances. They do not allow you to use electricity, drive cars on the roaRAB, use any type of non human or animal powered items, or have curtains on your windows. If you complain about the situation or take them to court. They put the protection of traditional amish lifestyle on the ballot because they don't want to be forced acknowledge you sinning in their eyes. Even though the law would effect your life and not thiers it still passes by a majority.



    Now I ask you:
    You being non Amish do not share these religious beliefs is their right to their religious freedom, as the majority, more important then your right to live as you believe.
