And follow by saying that people are free to worship as they wish, are you really inviting me to perform a Black Mass in your Church? Afterall, by rights, you don't have freedom from that happening, especially since it requires me to do so to increase the blasphemy.

So, Hot Momma, why can your brethren do so in private buildings [That is, preach the words]?

Yes, got Air, I know. The constitution never forbids raping babies. So, you're coll with that happening, I assume?

"Freedom of Religion is not Freedom from religion?"
People are free to believe and worship as they wish, but you still have property rights.
If a church rented space (say in a community center, as one small church in my area does), and then a satanist group wants the same room to perform a Black Mass...so be it. It is public property.
If a church had private property, then the Black Mass would have to go elsewhere.
If a church group held a function in the park and the following week a pagan group did a ritual...so be it. It is public property.

The first amendment to the US constitution reads "freedom from state sponsored religion". The term "freedom of religion" is not in the US constitution.
edit: no my friend, I'm not cool with that. I just wanted to point the specific language out because a lot of people don't realize the actual language that is used and while freedom of religion is implied, the actual language is not there.

Freedom of religion means freedom to believe as one pleases, including believing in no religion at all. I don't need to perform a black mass in your church, and you can't perform such in mine because I do not have one. You might learn something from:

You misunderstand. To the average political Christian, freedom of religion just means only Christians are free. (I've actually heard this--some claim that it just means you're free to join any religion or denomination, as long as it's Christian.) They still think only they should be free to, for example, preach in public schools.

you are free to perform a black mass, but you are not free to do so in a private building if you are not invited to do so.

well you are very welcome to perform it in your house, in your church, or in anyplace you own.
& yes, you are right you probably have the right to do so. but if you do it in somebody's else's church & if they object, then they can call the authorities to arrest to for a host of charges... among them maybe, public disorder, trespass, unwelcome guest, brain freeze, not being funny, etc., etc.

Well no, cause that's still not your property, but you are completely free to do it next door.

If you wish to celebrate some Black Mass, please, you don't have the freedom to do it wherever you wish.
