It's just conjecture, Tim, for the sake of argument. There's no proof of the existence of a "supreme being" or anything else that supports the validity of religious beliefs. You are free to believe what you want in regard to a god, of course, but your belief doesn't make it so. There's nothing there but...faith. |

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. |

How can voting at a church or religios facility violate the right of and for a US citizen to lawfully bear arms? 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. Why would you encourage foul gun play? Sarcasm, Harry, that wasn't funny even as a joke. |
