One of my problems

RE: One of my problems
(July 1, 2010 at 10:47 am)Tiberius Wrote: I believe in the right to own property, and the right to do whatever you like in that property as long as it isn't against the law. So no, I don't think churches should be banned anymore than mosques should be banned, or what people read, or what people wear, etc.

Besides, if you banned churches "as they exist today" all you'd have is churches springing up in new places, with new themes, new ideas, etc. If enough people want something, they will work hard to make sure they get it. Since churches still exist, it is clear that people still want them (or else they would have been torn down eons ago).

All you are doing is putting your own personal feelings above that of society; something that rarely leads to anything good.

I would ask the same question to you as the previous responder. Are laws not to be changed?

As for your second comment, if they were banned I don't see how they would spring up in the same form. And since it is clear some people still want them, is that a reason to say that they should exist?

I understand that my question may seem extreme and hateful, but all new ideas seem radical at first. Please refrain from belitting my question by attacking me personally. Maybe you should ask me why I feel the way I do before assuming my motive is selfish.

You'll have to deal with it.

I'm glad that you think that we will last that long in our current state, but we can't be sure.

I'll only have to deal with it if a)I decide to abide by the constitution, and b)I decide to remain in America for the rest of my life.

What about my question on irrelevency?
