Quote:Or is the U.S. government going to get into the business of deciding what religions are legitimate (established, if you prefer) and which ones are not?
By a matter of coherence and equality, either you don't favor a specific religion or you favor all of them, if Christians can be conscious objectors so can people who profess different religions. This should be the general rule, but since I'm not American I may be wrong. At least in Europe objections of conscience are valid for all religions, not only for Christianity even if it is the predominant religion.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
