At least you don't have a state religion, or are forced to give 12 seats of congress to members of the (Christian) clergy.

Come to England
|
I spent 2 1/2 years in England when I was stationed there with the Air Force and have wanted to go back for a visit. But if Santorum somehow gets elected president, I may come back for a really long visit!
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

When was the last time you took a look at our republican congressmen? But you're right, we weren't forced to do such a thing..although I think that might make our current situation even worse.....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Thanks for the invite. Tempting as it is, I feel a moral obligation to do everything I can to keep the world's largest nuclear arsenal from falling into the hands of religious fanatics.

England needs to follow the French and have large public sausage and wine parties.

We DO have some anti hate-speech laws though and refuse entry to people such as Holocaust denier David Irving and various extremist Islamists. 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Summer: Do you have a Souther drawl and say "y'all" ?
