well hello. nice heated post. I am warning people now I bring up some Christian
responses so if you don't want to be irritated please be warned.
> Again- your rights are being eaten away as you read this.
by much more than you imply I am afraid. and might I say that how come everyone
but christians seem to have a right to throw their ideas and stuff around the
senate and such but the second you have someone operating in those positions
that are "christian" suddenly they are stealing all your rights? Is it becuase
only at that time are the rights you care about being touched?

sorry, isn't burning the flag illegal right now anyway? perhaps I am mistaken,
forgive my ignorance if I am wrong, my excuse is that I don't live their now.

I must jump in here because that is a long supposed belief. but the constitution
does not say there is a seperation between church and state. it was brought up
as so because it was found in a letter that a forefather wrote. and his purpose
in it was not to remove *church* from the state but the *state* from the church.
in other words the government can not control the church. this was meant to
protect the government church that has happened in many countries especially
during communism.

LOL I wonder who you claim to be *your* creator?

you know what, I agree, there should be free speech. but I feel their has to be
a balance. personally it would scare me if anyone could produce any kind of show
they could possibly think of with no restrictions. becuase on the TV you can't
stop your children from watching something becuase it's R and they can't go in.

I suppose whoever has the money. ;-)

LOL. So who is running the country right now?

yes, that is true. but here is a wonderful thought to behold. who gave Hitler
his ideas? The states. he took things we were saying and put them to the
extreme. Do you know that right now in the states (or it was 2 years ago) that
it is legal if a baby is born with a handicap to leave them in the hospital and
not feed them until they die?

I don't think we should *require* everyone to pray in schools. but at the same
time I don't think it is something that should be excluded. and that is what is
happening now. tons of students are having to fight for their right to pray in
school. even in lunchtime prayer meetings on their own.
