Freedom of religion should never be a constitutional right. Freedom from religion, yes, freedom of religion, never.

Yes, literary censorship is an extremely bad idea, Amos ~ constant exposure to examination is the superior method...and one that, I'm sure you will agree, leads the individual to rational thought and away from blind, mystical adherence to such limiting dogma.

Yes, Amos, we all understand your desperate need to do the theistic flim flam in order to avoid addressing the coherent and articulate responses to the thread OP...your cathaholism is very fragrant this day.

Dear, dear Jan, just how many wigs CAN a 75 year old woman get on her head? I'm afraid she's going to fall over from the weight and hurt herself on all that gold furniture. I swear, it looks like a yard sale at the Kremlin.

But you will agree that the Christian fundamentalist study the bible more than anyone else and becuase of this they go wrong . . . or they would not be fundamentalist. Let's hope we can avoid the next war that looms because of this.

I agree that literary censorship itslef is wrong and you are right that we must examine the truth. However, since the bible is not subject to rational interpretation because it is a mystical read it should be limited or burned before it is read to seek rational guidance. That's all.

Catholicsm is a mystery religion and cannot be rationally understood or it would not be a mystery religion. You don't have to subscribe to it but as a mystery religion is it beyond criticism from the intelligent mind.

Are you suggesting we avoid the irrational Sola Scriptura and rely instead on this human?



Not this infidel...LOL.

Mystery solved, then...nonsensical dogma dispelled by the intelligent mind.

Thanks for spelling that out directly for any here with doubts.



Hope you don't mind if this mind continues to critically expose every such limitation to human progress.
