FREEDOM OF SPEECH OR FREEDROM?Apr 10th, 2008 - 00:52:52

The freedom of the free country has a free hand to attack nor catholic religions freely.

IT IS THEIR RELIGION, THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FOLLOW!!!!

It's not an issue of exercising freedom of religion or of free speech (although I can't see how the latter has any relevance at all to this particular case). Those are category mistakes. This is an issue of what is legal or illegal in the United States. Religous freedom is a right we have in America as long as it remains within the limits of the law of the land. No religion is above nor can be above the law.
If some people think they should defy the laws of the land for their conscience's sake then they had better be ready to pay the consequences for their choice, or else submit to the law. I suppose a third option would be to immigrate to another country where their choice of actions would not be illegal.
In the United States having sex with children is against the law in all cases ans as far as I can tell, has been since the very start of our country. Polygamy has never been acceptable and was never really an issue until the Mormon sect was founded. And very shortly after that it was openly declared to be illegal by the Supreme Court, and has remained illegal ever since.
These Law enforcment officers and state agencies have done the right thing here.

polygamy is coolApr 11th, 2008 - 06:43:23

What happened to freedom of religion?

Well I'll be damned so-called United States is suppressing religion in its own hinterland??

What a hypocritical country the US is!

Where are Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and National Endowemnt for Democracy now, huh?!?

That's right they are created by the white christian devil to promote evil ideas around the world. Never mind the fact that they themselves don't practice what they preach.

I know so many jewish people with many wivesApr 15th, 2008 - 10:36:37

I know a lot of Jewish people with more than one wife, why they are not forbidden?

BECAUSE NOBODY IN THE OPPRESSIVE STATES OF AMERICA CAN WIN AN ELECTION WITHOUT THEIR SUPPORT.
For those who disagree tell me one candidate who won elections in US, and the person was anti-Jewish?
