""Would you be comfortable with a MAYOR who said, “If they don’t like an Islamic theme, if they don’t like an Islamist parade – stay at home.”??" No need to concoct a fictitious example" It is NOT fictitious, as you know. It was cut and pasted as an exact quote (with the mayor saying "Christian" instead of "Islamist"), by Brumstone about some mayor. Both of you were chortling as if people were being unreasonable by making a fuss about the separation of church and state. You tried to pretend that references to a non-denominational "god" in the DOI somehow overrode (or ought to override) the atheistic defense of the separation of church and state. Brumar tried to pretend that the quote by the mayor was a good quote and was THE ONLY DEFENSE NEEDED by this mayor in his violation of ethical, moral. and legal precepts! That is why I asked both of you if you would feel comfortable with the above quote. But you are clearly afraid to discuss or defend your beliefs and would rather duck and weave and run down holes. "you and your Anarchist/Atheist buddies at the FFRF don't get to silence people you disagree with" What a dimwitted and absurd comment! What does freedom from religion have to do with Anarchy?? Christian Anarchists have been around since Christianity! And nobody wants to silence anybody. It would be nice to hear an argument from you just once--instead of all this slipping and sliding and spewing. Freethought of the DayWould you like to start your day on a freethought note?
