A Serious Question
Why ridicule the beliefs of others? Does it provide some sort of pleasure? I can understand being
against the elements of a belief system which impinge on your liberties or constitutional rights (including the right to have your head attached to your neck), but to mock beliefs just to make enemies or belittle people makes no sense to me. Salmonbait -- "Either ESAD, or Pay Your Taxes!" |

If its acolytes stopped that sort of behavior, I wouldn't give a tinker's dam what they did amongst themselves. |

Ask George Tiller what he thinks, or perhaps a living doctor who provides legal abortions. Ask the science teachers across the country who are under seige by fundamentalists who are stupid enough to confuse intelligent design with actual science. Ask Muslims who live in this country peacefully and without association to any thought to harm the US why they can't build a Mosque wherever the hell they want. In a free country. People's "beliefs" are a home to narrow minded thoughts, and used to gin up hatred and further ignorance. |

Ask the kid that can't go to the whitehouse, ask the kid that can't salute the flag, ask the family that can't put two sticks by the side of the road...??? People are not "offended" by two sticks, they are just being assholes... |

It would be great if you'd stop preaching to us and insisting that your belief system be adopted as the national religion. Thank you so much for your consideration. |

No it's not... it's just trying to be a part of the process the constitution guarantees us all.. Next? |
