I am absolutely opposed to any religious building being used as a

polling place, and I fought against that in Florida.


Now that's being a champion of a cause, I guess. So why should
church's and religious institutions are 'dangerous' then why should
they be allowed to feed and cloth those who are without? That is the
governments job, isn't it?

BTW, my questions still stand.


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.


Oh poo poo Harry. You have no problem violating things, fer instance IRS
rules, the trust of those with whom you do business, etc.

And you know, it seems that nobody accuses us of 'shoving' religion down their throats especially when they have their mouths full.





No religion accompanying the meals, eh?

I didn't say that. you did.

You're proselytizing the hungry, eh?


It is all about choice. If those who want to be fed aren't willing to listen a little bit of
talking while they are eating then they are free to choose to go somewhere elese and get
their food. You are pro-choice aren't you? Or, are you only pro-choice when it comes to
pregnancy?


Democrats are only pro choice when it keeps them from accountability....

The Second Amendment?

How can voting at a church or religios facility violate the right of and for a US citizen to lawfully bear arms?

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?

First amendment...my mistake. Yeah, great idea...take your guns to
church, and if the preacher gets him wrong, why, just shoot him and
everyone else you can. Terrific.

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. For the average citizen, nothing is more
"statelike" than voting for public officials, and that voting should
take place in politically neutral places, like public schools, fire
stations, public libraries, et cetera. A church is not a politically
neutral place.

When I lived in Virginia, we voted at a firehouse. Here, our polling
place is the activities room of a public grammar school.

It took me several years and the threat of a lawsuit to get our polling
place in Florida moved out of an extremist fundamentalist church. Even a
supermarket would have been a more appropriate place.
