"As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.."(Treaty of Tripoli, 1797 - signed by President John Adams)


"The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretence, infringed.'' - James Madison (Original wording of the First Amendment; Annals of Congress 434 (June 8, 1789).)

So again, what's the non-religious argument our government has to not allow gay marriage?

What do you think of nudist colonies or nude beaches? Is it gross and wrong or does it sound like fun?? Would you be comfortable hanging out with a bunch of naked strangers??

" I once made a remark about hte hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu; kept people looking so hard for facts...and for others it was a real revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books were not capitalized. but the truth finally struck home to numbers of our readers. To others it was a real job. we want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I willquickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now, for there really are

Just wondered what gay men see in men and lesbian females see in females. Don't say that "what do heterosexuals see in the opposite sex.".

As a member of the held to a different standard "white" race I can't help but think enough is enough! Yes let's burn the conferate flag and replace it with a picture of a black fist saying by any means necessary. Or maybe by the colors of the African flag. As long as it only offends "white America" it is acceptable. That is why we continue to allow black Americans to poke fun of white Americans (because we owe it to the race). But let us forget the remarks of Jesse Jackson concerning Jews. And God forbid we remember the Rev. Sharpton adventure concerning Tawana Brawley. Oh thats right all is forgiven unless you are white and use the "N" word. I only hope that some day people start to apply the same forgiveness to "white" American as we have other races! I for one am getting a little tired of hearing about the what he should do to repent and those poor people who heard the statements made. Just a thought from a "redneck cracker" as my race is often refered too.

Jesus states hundreds of times he is the son of God, and that God sent him to earth and that even God knows things which the son does not. If you can't understand that, maybe you have a low IQ?

Finish with more details such as: The Koran (quran), second book, says 'the believer shall go to heaven and be waited on by 72 virgins. The non-believer or infidel (anyone who does not worship Muhammed and worhip him properly) shall have a chance to repent; if he does not repent he shall die by the 'fire', the fuel of which shall be the hand of the believer' !!!!!!!!!!! This is interpreted by the millions, possibly hundreds of millions of radical muslims to be a commandment to kill ALL christians, Jews, Hindus, Bhudists, Taoists, agnostics, athiests, and even muslims who the self-appointed judges think are not living the proper faith- especially muslims of another sect. (Sunni versus Shia) That's like me saying I am Methodist so I should kill all the Baptists I possibly can. And if I die doing such a thing I go directly to heaven, do not pass go, do not..

We are in for the fight of the ages since the growing radical muslims fully intend to take over the world using any means.

I know this isn't a question that really has an answer, but so many people on here seem to have misconceptions about the the Jewish opinion of Judaism. Is it because yahoo answers is a likely place for these people to go and thus that opinion looks more common than it really is?

Most of us are often ignored cause of some of our problems and when the rest of us request to get where we want to be in life it is restricted from certain environments that's not right for all.
The refuse of such individual's rights cannot be tolerated if turned away cause of differences in their lifes where ever they live.

It is important to have equal rights as you and I do for the needs of one to improve the lifes and health of so many others and not to be taken away from all that positive energy.

When another keeps holding back against someone's will in places where they should be getting better and back on track with their lifes shouldn't the Government be helping to reverse the negative impact of unstable health to full form.

Too many don't get the things they need in life cause of their staff and some others involved away from it and are sent in where the Sun doesn't shine. This should not effect their strategy rights.
