My only point is that (right or wrong), whatever religious practices

Why not?


Because logic dictates that the needs of the many, outweigh the needs
of the few.

You're spouting Marx, who, by the way, was often consulted by Commander
Spock.

The point Dave is trying to make is that the government can't interfere with
religious practice nor can it sponsor it. Allowing the majority to use
public facilities for a religious observance does not sponsor religion.
Allowing the minority to use those facilities the same way is by way of not
interfering with religious observances. Trying to outlaw any religious
observance is against the bill of rights.

The Bill of Rights guarantees the rights of the people whether majority or
minority can't be abridged by a majority. The way that the LEFT is using to
eliminate these rights is not thru elected representatives (majority rule)
but thru the courts. Thus the reason those on the right want
constitutionally conservative judges who won't write laws but will properly
interpret from the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
