who cares what they believe. what we have here is liberal policies opened the flood gates to immigrants of various cultures and religions thereby diluting the original christian cultural core in America. the end result is America is moving towards the left with socialism and poverty.jjgator wrote:Buddhists don't believe in hell though.

The Constitution says absolutely nothing about making exceptions against Islam and Buddhism. You are doing nothing but assuming. You've got it completely backwards.

These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation. 143 U.S. 457 (1892)
Again simple historical context shows that the founders and the culture core were brutishly ethnocentric and did not ever countenance islam, buddhism, taoism, animism and mysticism as equal religions on par with christianity. Because of this the first amendment must always be read in context of the original cultural and religious core of the country.
The first amendment's religious context regards the various religions/ denominations of christianity which existed at the time in the colonies. The first amendment was never meant to be an open door to all religions without exception. It is because of the original context that the continental congress etc opened with prayer and every office holder was sworn in on a Bible, not a koran or the holy books of other religions.

Re: Bible Thumpers make a Buddists life hell in school
According to your reading of the First Amendment, Congress can outlaw the practice of Judaism and Islam in the United States and in the areas where it has jurisdiction. Is that correct? And if your answer is that it is correct can you please point me and the other readers of this thread to the case law.AtiliusRegulus wrote:I've read it several times and in its historical context and I can assure you that I am reading it correctly and you are reading it incorrectly.WiseGuy wrote:That's an absurd reading of the First Amendment.

All you did was make assertions and assumptions. You provided absolutely no data or facts. I provided actual quotes from a founding father and a federal judge. The laws are what they are.

Re: Bible Thumpers make a Buddists life hell in school
Sir, you are making this up as you are going along... The framers of the Bill of the Rights, namely George Mason and James Madison, must be spinning in their graves when they read that some random poster on a internet board in construing their Amendment to allow religious freedom to prohibit the practice of religions other than Christianity in the United States.AtiliusRegulus wrote:nah, "you be da one with da problem".

The First Amendment means what it says. If somebody wants to worship a rock, he should be feel to worship that rock, free from government encumbrances.

Re: Bible Thumpers make a Buddists life hell in school
I provided the historical context. If that is what you call assertions and assumptions so be it, but facts are facts. Buddhism, Islam, Toaism were not in the purview of the founders when they wrote the first amendment. Neither was pornography. The first amendment was to allow the freedom of the press to hold government accountable, and for the freedom of christian denominations, hence not the federal government favoring methodists over episcopalians or presbyterians over catholics.Ghostown42 wrote:

Do you actually think the first amendment applies to the human sacrificing aztec religion.

wrong that is your interpretation. what if someone wants to engage in human sacrifice viz a viz the aztec and the mayans. should he feel free to sacrifice voluntary victims free from government encumbrances?WiseGuy wrote:

ps. the bible doesn't recommend the stoning of prostitutes, only adulterers or if the prostitute is the daughter of a high priest.
