Hey, if people want to take solace in mythology and in passages written
long ago by *men* to help promulgate a religion, that's just fine, so
long as those myths and "rules" don't find their way into controlling
access to health care and all the hundreds of other areas in which "the
religious" want to impact on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
And if it supposedly did what would you do about it, start a riot? Fire up gas chambers? firing squads?
It isn't "supposedly." Conservatives who claim to be christian are doing
whatever they can to push their religious beliefs onto society. I
wouldn't do anything violent to them, but I think it would be nice if
they would form their Muslim, er, Christian State of America, and move
there so their mullahs, er, fundamentalist pastors and priests, can rule
their lives. Texas would be a great place for them...it's really big.
Once all the fundie christian sects are there, they can begin shooting
each other, as they have done so often in the past, eh? 
Well you're always saying things like "Thats fine, just as long as they dont push..."
So in such a case as the religious "pushing" their beliefs, or "cramming" it down peoples throats ( if any of that's even possible) What do you do about about it?
Speak out against it, support organizations that legally fight religious
and conservative bigotry in the courts and in the court of public
opinion, don't vote for candidates who support pushing fundamentalist
religious ideas onto society, that sort of thing.
