    The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution:

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…

    Seems pretty clear cut and dry to me. These guys really are the epitome of “Rules for thee, but not for me,” aren’t they?

      It’s all about doing it, then getting shot down.

      They can then say “look! The libruls hate god!” And then they get more donations and votes.

        saying “no” when they try to force their religion on everyone is “persecution” to them

          Christians are professional victims, but not actual victims. And most of the time they are victimizing others. It’s hard being in a cult. :(

            When they aren’t victimising each other, that is. Don’t forget, the “persecution” the pilgrims were fleeing was not being allowed to persecute each other as hard as they wanted to.

              Exactly! My favorite part is when they turn on each other. No one is ever pure enough in a cult.
