Some people want the freedom to oppress others.
RowanUnderwood
Next time around we may want to add a few more caveats to "religious freedom."
BBQatCirces
They don't see it as THEM telling everyone what to do. They see themselves as the mouthpieces for an authoritarian deity.

If it guides my morals, and i vote based on my morals, and my vote guides policy, then yes it kinda does. Im an atheist, for context.
jamesx
they don't care. It is just an excuse, they don't believe it either.
theguybehindtheguybehindtheguy
You guys don't get it, do you? Enough with the Daily Show Gotchas. It doesn't work. They are authoritarians and power is all they want

What 18th century people were specifically concerned with, was that you couldn’t go to prison over theological differences.

The problem arises when people think science is a belief system, and question why THAT belief used to dictate what they should do.

religion sucks !
tcpolecat7
The argument you have to get them past is: "It's freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion!"

Blaspheming heretic. In his infinite pettiness, my god demands that you be punished for your sins.

You are preaching to the choir. They know they are wrong but dont care because they think being the political majority gives them that right

Religion is constitutionally protected misinformation.

Damn that's a good comment. Like, fuck, you're phrasing was utterly perfect! +1 and imma go upvote another one of your posts randomly.

The Satanic Temple agrees.

A person needs to believe in something...I believe I'll have another drink.
CosplayComet
"Well, I don't believe in drinking, so you can't have one." -the entire thrust of right wing nutjobs.
StrangePaegan
The worst of them are literally taught the opposite of that. Their book tells them THEY will be punished if we don't comply.

Your religious freedoms stop when you open your mouth.

The other big thing was not using taxes to promote one sect over another.

The bible says that there were people who lived to 800 years old and had kids while they were well on their way to 100. Isn't that silly?

Well, that's what happens when their scripture is hateful.
Ghlargh
Or when hateful people tell them how to interpret the scripture.
Kegalin
Preach it, lady! Oh...wait...

You will need to hit them in the head with a hammer in order to create a space for this information to get in.

They didn't say it wasn't a sledge :D

Religions is the opposite of keeping your delusions to yourself. They are made in such way.
Crowlands
Except in many religions, barbaric authoritarianism IS part of the practice. They tell people to kill.
GreyKnightTemplar666
Let them practice their fables and make believe amongst themselves. They want to RP what their god says, let them do that amongst themselves

That or we could pull a unification war. Burn every church and slaughter every priest. Pick.
AndrewCase
I hate to be a downer here but the second argument will be ignored because many will view it as an attack on their beliefs. A better way(1/)
AndrewCase
to have said it would be “Freedom from religious pressure and persecution from a religion you do not believe in.” And once they agree to(2/)
AndrewCase
that point out that applies to all peoples of all, or no, religions.

I don't even care what the constitution says. If you force religion or religious rules upon others, you're my enemy. Fuck your documents idc

But...but my religion says I HAVE TO force it on everyone else, lest I should go to Hell for not proselytizing.
Badsequence
Right and that anyone that isn't a "Christian" is a godless heathen and will go to hell!
ImgurCouncilOfLlamas
Maybe they wanna go there tho.

Well hop on I'm driving the bus we have jackets!

What does David Cross know? He is a comedian. I mean, he forgot all about the appropriation of pagan holidays to make it easier to sell?
rubypilgrim
yes, which edition do you want me to worship? If I'm Christian, why am I reading the Old Testament? and what's this about Matthew 10:34? wtf

I might have tried to talk to my pastor about this once… ?

I grew up in a Mormon house, I asked questions in class they couldn't answer. They sent me to the Elders, asked and got sent to Bishop......
RandyRandalman
Safe to say it ended with me walking out with more questions and even less answers.
