like i said. i am female. as in SHE.
'inherent' rights? lol ... to discriminate?
nope. not in a secular nation. the 1st amendment also means freedom from religion. by the way - you can be as christian or jewish or mooooooslem or druid all you want in your private life. but when it comes to society - when money is concerned for goods & services, then all are equal cause money is green no matter who's got the pocket.
Neither natural law nor constitutional law gives one the freedom from religion, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. One has the freedom of religion, and the First Amendment recognizes one's inherent right to express/practice one's religion in private and public life, you fascist imbecile.
Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
The only thing that leftists will ever understand about the rights of others is the business end of a loaded gun pointed at their stupid heads.
freedom from religion means your beliefs don't 'trump' mine & visey versey.
you know... that whole separation of church & state thingy? boy oh boy jefferson had it right.
Jefferson's Letter to the Danbury Baptists
The Final Letter, as Sent
To messers. Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, & Stephen S. Nelson, a committee of the Danbury Baptist association in the state of Connecticut.
Gentlemen
The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.
I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.
Th Jefferson
Jan. 1. 1802.
