I didn't say religious polling places were "dangerous," you did. But I
do believe they are completely inappropriate as polling places for
several reasons, including my feeling that voting at a church is a
violation of the Second Amendment.
In other words.."Dangerous"
Why are you looking for "other words" when I provided the exact word:
*inappropriate* ?
Why are you equating the word "inappropriate" with the word "dangerous"?
inappropriate:
Not appropriate; unsuitable to the particular case; unfitting, improper.
dangerous:
Fraught with danger or risk; causing or occasioning danger; perilous,
hazardous, risky, unsafe.
Do you think these words are synonyms?
What would be considered "inappropriate" about casting a vote inside a
building dedicated as a house of worship? Is it because some one just
might receive religious leanings there? If that be the case, the in
you're view I'd think that 'dangerous' would be a term deemed
appropriate.
It is inappropriate because it mocks the wall that is supposed to exist
between church and state.
What wall, show me that in the constitution.. this "wall"...
Gee, never heard of seperation of church and state, eh?
Where does it say there will be no religion contact to government in the
constitution? The Constitution and the founders stated there would be no
state religion. You forget they mention God a few times in the founding
documents.
You don't understand the 1st Amendment or the disdain many of the
founding fathers had for religion. And what has god to do with religion,
assuming for the moment there were a god?
You did not learn the 1st amendment was to prevent a state religion? Ala
Church do England?
The First Amendment is there for a number of reasons, including the
desire to prevent establishment of a state religion.
The religious clause was there for just one reason. NO STATE RELIGION!
