One Generation Away I September 1, 2014

This is a movie coming out that discusses religious freedom and the threat of taking it away.

Ah yes a movie put out by the AFA, an organisation classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Just what I want to show in my church - NOT!

Wink Yep...

Christians have got it rough in the USA these days.

I hear they're starving some lions in preparation for a big show.

The religious right has nothing to be focused on. AFA is looking for fundraising ideas.

Are documentaries subject to Godwin's Law? If so, apparently this sucker fails on that account alone.

Religious reactionaries are perhaps incapable of understanding religious freedom because their closed-mindedness drives them to think that religious freedom exercised by others is anti-religiousness imposed on them, and that the Dominionism that they want to practice is somehow an expression of religious freedom instead of the reality, that it is an expression of religious intimidation. They're locked into an explicitly irrational thought pattern - irrational because their definition of religious freedom necessarily deprives it from others. The irrationality stems from the presumption that religious freedom includes the right to impose their own religion beyond the scope of religious freedom - beyond their own skin, their own families, and their own worship.

Wingnuts seem to if you they cannot force in heir religion onto others, their faith is being taken away. If they had actual faith they wouldn't need to have everyone else forced to do the same. They wish to be left to their faith...then they should leave others to their beliefs.

You demand to freely advertise your religious beliefs with barbaric symbols all over the place in the public sphere at the tax payers expense.

You think you are being 'persecuted' when people get pissed off at your sense of entitlement that you can not only force your beliefs on others, but you expect them to pay for it as well.

I propose that all of you who want to keep your religious symbols or beliefs in the public sphere, pay a tax to do this, including a tax on your churches.

And people who don't want them, get a tax break. User pays. Sounds fair to me.
