So if they keep their filthy evil perversions behind closed doors you might tolerate their existance?? Is that how you look at it?

LOL !!! must be a projection, no doubt.

hmmm no, i did not say that... are churches "closed doors"? i highly doubt it, then again, it depends on the church and the person who is trying to enter said church. not being a church going person i would not know. my impression is that they do not pray under the "close doors" theory that you allude, if i understand you correctly.

now... what i said was...

as for "religious freedom"...
well, well... if the churches (all of them) promise to behave and never preach upon those who do not request to be preached on... or attempt that unwilling listeners sit in public places (such as public schools)...listening to the prayers


that means : you are FREE to pray all you want, in the proper place. YOUR church, YOUR home, YOUR head. i also expect that they behave in the sense that if there are people who do NOT want to listen to it, their right to privacy should be respected.

what's the point to pray in "public anyway ? (particularly a school, where there are many who do not want to listen)

religion seems to me a PERSONAL thing, what is the point to be praying publicly ? i fail to understand that, (and i do NOT want you to explain it to me). i see this desire of doing public prayer as indoctrination.

i personally do not have to listen to it. i also have the right that my privacy be respected.

schools are places to educate children. their minds can be guided in any direction, depending go is teaching and what they are teaching. there are millions of parents who DO NOT want to hear prayers or ANY type of church indoctrination PERIOD.

so, do you understand now ? how hard can be this simple concept to understand ? obviously for you it is.

i as well as others, have the right to privacy, i find the church beliefs evil, dishonest, and worse. NOTHING will change that, i am convinced of that. now i am not imposing my view on you, nor even asking you to consider it. if you do not agree with me, then fine. just respect my damned belief.

now... if you yourself consider whatever is it that you are doing evil... well, i won't be surprised. but that is YOUR choice, you said so yourself.

as i told you earlier... you are not going to convince me, nor i am going to convince you. -- nor i have the interest to convince you. we have both made our respective points. now please take your mission with someone else. i am very happy being the way i am.

why ? because i find your insistence (like most religious preachings), offensive and your "switching" of the meanings of my words likewise.
