"You have demonstrated nothing but your fear about what you suppose to be my thoughts about actions."

Try to stay on track and keep away from the nonsense, why don't you?

All I corrected you on was your idea that your conscientious beliefs shield you from the interest or the power of Government.

The Government may force you to act against your conscience or it may punish you for disobedience and remove your liberty. You may not believe in answering the questions of the Crown Attorney: the Judge may force you or punish you. You may not believe in performing community service as ordered by a Judge. The Justice System will force you or punish you. You may not believe in assisting a police officer when lawfully requested to do so. You will be punished for refusing. You may not believe in providing the necessities of life to your children (feeding them, clothing them, and doing other things for them). But you will still do so or be punished.

As I said before:

"NO ACTIONS CONSEQUENTIAL TO YOUR BELIEFS HAVE ANY SPECIAL RIGHT OR PRIVILEGE BEYOND THEIR PERMISSSIBILITY TO THE SOCIETY IN WHICH YOU LIVE. YOU MAY BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU WANT AND AS CONSCIENTIOUSLY AS YOU WANT--BUT YOUR ACTIONS WILL ALL BE ASSESSED, EVALUATED, AND IF NECESSARY PUNISHED BY THE SOCIETY IN WHICH YOU LIVE"

You just have to learn that your conscientious beliefs do not have any bearing on the interest or the power of your society and Government. Your actions WILL conform to societies beliefs...not to yours.
