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.

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.

Agreed to a point, but I have 'faith' that there is an omnipotent God.

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?











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.
