Religious Freedom (Or Lack Thereof)
#6
RE: Religious Freedom (Or Lack Thereof)
@Sae- I don't think freedom is the default. I think survival of the fittest and chaos is the default. I think, by nature, man/womankind seeks to dominate it's surroundings to include their fellow man/woman. Everything is a power strugle. I can't feasibly see freedom from oppression (of any sort) coming without some changing in dominance. If you can think of an example of freedoms being the default I'd be happy to discuss it. As far as culpability for laws Iagree it resides in the individual not the constitution itself. I'll restate my position as I think that our government is supposed to keep things equal, constitutionally, but unfortunately those in power have the power to corrupt those original intentions and pollute the public.



@Dusty Smith Video- No benefit except integrity.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
