You guys are not paying attention to what I'm saying. I think that what I refer to as the "tyranny of the majority" is not a good thing! I'm saying that it happens. It's been happening in the US since the nation began. The constitution is interpreted according to how the majority views it. Why do you think that when the supreme court passes judgments on controversial issues, the vote is almost always divided up between the liberal and conservative judges? That's why the political parties always fight to choose a judge who has a history of reflecting their views. People have been denied their constitutional rights from the beginning because the powers to be either ignored or misinterpreted the constitution which was supposed to protect them in the first place. Since they were a small minority nobody cared. Christians have been the majority in the past and have often ignored minority rights because they had a small voice, even though their actions were to opposed to the constitution. I believe that the same thing would happen to christians if they became a small minority. I'm not rationalizing past behaviors, I'm just stating my opinion in answer to the questions I've been asked. I think that you're seeing that I'm a christian and then using that impression to interpret what I'm saying instead of just reading what I wrote.
