What The Right Gets Wrong About Religious Freedom

Post Reply New Topic

I have the right to follow whatever religious dictates are right for me. Nobody else can decide this. I don't have the right to tell you what you should believe or not believe and you don't have the right to tell me to to think as you do. If I wanted to pray to a Coke can, that is my right. When I was teaching school (Civics and Government) I told all my classes to bring a prayer mat the following day and we would start each class by putting the mats on the floor and face east and pray to Allah. (this was in prep for a class on religious freedom) I had plenty of high school ( I had to spell out high school ; my auto-correct kept changing hs to his) students tell me I didn't have the right to dictate what they should believe and this was a crock. The right is conceited enough to think that you should think the same as them.

It's not even religion they're forcing on us, it's purity culture.

If they wanted a nation based on "Christian values", they would be supporting universal health care, affordable housing, social safety nets, etc. The Nordic Model is probably the most Christ-like system of government there is.

But nooooo, that would be considered socialism here. Newsflash: The Cold War ended over 30 years ago. You need new terminology.

Classic, Diet, Regular, or Zero?  Even the Cola Cult has split into various factions.

And don't get me started on those Pepsi apostates . . .
